Album of the Decade!

[Yung Led Zeppelin]

Altar of Plagues - Teethed Glory and Injury

Continues to floor me every time I revisit it.

[Ducky]

I'll have a think this time next year when it's the end of the decade.

This.....

It's really not, but have your fun this year guys. 

Except it is. Would you say an album released in 1990 came out in the 80s?

A decade is a period of ten years, the 0 year is a full year itself, therefore 0 to 9 is a period of ten years.

There was no year zero. There was 1BC and then 1 AD which is the first year of the first decade of the calendar we have used for the last two millennia.
Because there was no Year Zero, the first decade of the common era (CE or AD) was years 1 to 10, the second decade was years 11 to 20, and the next decade will be years 2021 to 2030.

At least this thread will be still going for another 12 months at least. 

[Juggz]

Jesus H fucking Christ, lads.

Jesus H fucking Christ, lads.

What Juggz? Should be able to pack another 50 or so titles into this thread over the next year. This is great news.

So Rust in Peace was the best album of the 80s, released in 1990? 

[Trev]

Sake lads, its accepted that a decade is the 0-9

Anyway a few more that sprang to mind

Xoth - Interdimensional Invocations. Could be a bit of recency bias, but I've had this on nearly non stop for the last while

Ihsahn - Arktis. Could probably pick any of the stuff he put out, just really like the artwork on this

Sepultura - Machine Messiah. Absolutely baffling people still want Max back, there's no chance he could ever do something this good these days

[Ducky]

Love Machine Messiah and Arktis. Celestial Violence is a stomper of a song.

Wasn't our calender system only adopted in something like the 5th century? So it's ultimately arbitrary and man made anyway (like most things), but common practice since long before any of us were born is to count from 0 to 9, inclusive.

But a valid point raised by myself and another poster above - so ye consider albums released in 1990 part of the 80s?

[Snare]

So I'm taking from this is a lot of people are retarded as regards decades, and i need to check out Obscura, newer Immolation and Beyond Creation.

In turn I give back Gallowbaird, Caladan Brood, Vastum, Disma, Corpsessed, Vreid, Auroch, Wormrot, Gatecreeper, and aye, Dead Congregation.
