  5. Nice topic, @deanallison! I like this. It's super hard though! And quite unfair because there's 6 albums for the 80s decade, then 3 and 3 for both of 90s and 00s but only 2 for the 10s

    Like A Song
    Bad
    Where The Streets Have No Name
    Heartland

    90s
    Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
    Ultraviolet
    Stay
    Dirty Day
    Gone

    00s
    Kite
    Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
    A Man And A Woman
    Breathe
    Moment Of Surrender

    10s
    Raised By Wolves
    Cedarwood Road
    The Crystal Ballroom
    Summer Of Love
    Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way
  6. I'd prefer to do it by trilogy which is a more balanced approach (even if the SOI+SOE+SOA trilogy is still to be completed) and more fair towards the 80s. That way I would be something like:

    Boy+Oct+War
    I Will Follow
    A Day Without Me
    Tomorrow
    Like A Song
    Drowning Man

    TUF+TJT+R&H
    Bad
    Where The Streets Have No Name
    One Tree Hill
    Hawkmoon 269
    Heartland

    AB+Zoo+Pop
    Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
    Ultraviolet
    Stay
    Dirty Day
    Gone

    Behind+Bomb+NLOTH
    Kite
    Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
    A Man And A Woman
    Breathe
    Moment Of Surrender

    SOI+SOE
    Raised By Wolves
    Cedarwood Road
    The Crystal Ballroom
    Summer Of Love
    Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way

  10. I had problems to cut 80's and 90's to 5 songs... Even if it's twice less albums, 90's turned out to be a bigger problem
