Through the Years: One track per decade

And another from me. I have a few more I would like to list, but I don't want to double-post lists. I hope some others participate, and/or some more who participated try some more lists, and not just so I can keep my lists coming, haha.. I have been checking out all of the music that has been suggested, at least in part, when adding it to the playlist and after. Quite a few mentioned that I already knew and really loved. I like to play the playlist on my phone and I do tend to focus a little more on the more modern of times, and one that is off an album I do not own that I am always really pleased to hear (had heard and liked the track before), is Thank You Scientist's Gigglebutton.

1960s: United States Of America - American Metaphysical Circus
1970s: Soft Machine - Moon in June
1980s: Dün - L'épice
1990s: Radiohead - Exit Music (For a Film)
2000s: Pram - Bewitched
2010s: Mid-Air Thief - Protector
2020s: otay:onii - Blackheart Breakables

By the way, of the lesser-known tracks I suggested in these lists that I have not plugged as much as some others over the years, one that I hope some people will check out if they appreciate a kind of space-age loungey Indie art pop with Krautrock qualities (avenues I am so very into) is the Swedish band Komeda's "Borgo" off the 1993 album Pop på Svenska. For those into Stereolab and/or Pram, Broadcast, Vanishing Twin I would think it should likely appeal. This is my favourite track off the album.



Thanks to all who have taken the time to make lists. I realise that some don't like to focus on individual tracks, but it does make it so much easier to get more acquainted with what various members of our fine forum enjoy. As said, everyone has posted music I enjoyed. And if this thread keeps going I might indulge myself in writing a bit more about my favourites from each person.

here's the playlist, which has become very long (a lot with mine) and I hardly expect people to play though it but some might want to check out some of the music via it (or hear excerpts of a variety).

By the way, I had thought about going farther back in years, but then I was looking for some decent quality original recordings from the decade represented which can be hard when you go farther back. But nothing at all wrong with presenting compositions from earlier 20th century even if recorded much later.

60's Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows

^ Nice. And North Sea Radio Orchestra's "Morpheus Miracle Maker" definitely is one of my very, very favourite tracks. Can's Ege Bamyası album is so great overall (my favourite Can album now), and "Spoon" is a favourite Can song of mine. Love the Talk Talk, Beatles, Barbara Morgenstern, and Kontakte. Lots of music I like from the first half of the 2Oth Century, and those are great choices.

^^ "A Rainbow in Curved Air" is one of my favourites, love Schulze, got very into David Sylvian not too long ago, and of course I'm a big Art Zoyd fan and Häxan is one of my favourites (although of 90s Art Zoyd I tend to return to Faust the most).

Thanks all. No one one has not presented music I really like.

1960s: "Lumpy Gravy" (Zappa) or "A Rainbow in Curved Air" (T. Riley)
