Music and the decades, what do you think defines a decade? Options

tonight ive been listening to some of my older cd's and I really came to think... out of all the cd's/records put out in the past 3 decades, I can only think of three that really make me think of that era completley and make me think of "back then"... i dunno what you guys and girls think of this but when i think of 90's music, its got to be No Doubt's "Tragic Kingdom", the 80's U2 and the "Joshua Tree", and the 70's fleetwood Mac "Rumors"... they all make me think of their particular era and how good they were in their time frame... i think of 6th grade and No Doubt simoultaniously- they are what make the 90's the "90's" for me (with TLC too to a degree), and the other two really capture the essence, to me, of what pop music was in their timeframe (with or without you can bring me to tears everytime I hear it- its that powerful in its message to me)... but what do you peeps think? music is SOO subjective so i think it would be cool to hear everybody's opinion on this one
