Best musician/group by decade, list 'em: 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, as far back as you like if you're really into big band or if Beethoven wrote all his symphonies in a decade. Explain and argue

Fifties: Doris Day-Because Elvis would be too easy of a choice, and her music is among the less annoying of this painful decade.
Sixties: Jimi Hendrix-Because I'm saving Pink Floyd for the seventies, and the Beatles would be too easy. He made some awesome riffs, even though his recording quality hasn't survived the ages.
Seventies:Pink Floyd-They created some of the greatest gapless albums of all time.
Eighties: Metallica-Because hair sucked, and Michael Jackson's stuff wasn't quite as awesome as James' and Cliff's.
Nineties:Tori Amos-I'm obsessed with her, and consider Little Earthquakes to be the most amazing thing in the universe.
Oughts: Avril Lavigne-I was gonna say Animal Collective for this, but then I realized how repetitive so many of their songs were early on. All three of Avril's albums have a different "sound", and are amazing for different reasons.

I believe this thread already exists as I know I responded to it once.
I guess I'll do this again though:
50's: Miles Davis
60's: The Beatles
70's: The Clash
80's: The Smiths / R.E.M.
90's: Guided by Voices / Belle and Sebastian
00's: The New Pornographers (changed my response after Freddie 55 reminded me)

It's your opinion but the 80's choice is a little controversial in my own opinion

Not quite the only one, just my favorite.
I edited mine only to add more decades.
Just might have the hill sisters and their respective kindergarden classes for the 1890s. They created quite the beast of a song.
