^ lol

60's - Revolver - The Beatles
70's - Brain Salad Surgery - Emerson, Lake and Palmer
80's - Moving Pictures - Rush
90's - Ever -IQ
00's - The Inconsolable Secret - Glass Hammer
10's - Folklore - Big Big Train
20's - Syntheosis - The Waste Of Space Orchestra*

* yep I know it's officially a 2019 release but it didn't get a proper global release until this year and I hadn't heard of it until about February time after seeing some of the collaborator's album of the year lists. So I am cheating but I don't want to have to remove Folklore from my list because it's so damn good!
