Wow.  How did I miss Arcade Fire.  Also Radiohead for 00's is pretty good but they are another 90's/00's band.  the decade thing is way tougher now because of the number of late 90's bands.

[yoman]

if they stayed good going into the 2000's (through like 2002-2003) then go ahead and round them up into the 2000's. if not keepem in the 90's

[sonofdaxjones]

60's:  The Who

70's into the early 80's (before things began to really suck):  AC/DC, U2, Def Leppard (1st 2 albums only!!), The Clash, Queen, The Fixx, a few odds and ends from Black Flag, Dead Kennedys and some others, Yes, SOME Rush.

Mid to Late 80's:  Outside of a few "few" songs to go retro on, suckage. 

90's:  Early STP (before true radio overkill), U2 finally put out another decent album with Achtung Baby, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden.
