Actually, Aenima is my favorite. However, I haven't been lucky enough to find any music this decade that compares favorably to my preferred time period of about '85 to '95. Most of my favorite banRAB' best releases are from the 1980s or 1990s. I considered Dinosaur Jr--even though they've only released two ablums--and I considered The White Stripes. But there just hasn't been very much music that excites me. Perhaps someday I can look back on this decade the same way I do of the alternative era of the 1980s...
 
50s: Howlin' Wolf
60s: Bob Dylan
70s: Brian Eno or Elvis Costello
80s: Pixies or Dinosaur Jr. and maybe Rites of Spring, and Fugazi if they count. 80s is a hard one for me.
90s: Modest Mouse
00s: Against Me!
 
50s Elvis
60s The Beatles
70s Pink Floyd
80s Guns n Roses
