How dafuq can PE fire Flav? That’s like Run-DMC firing Run. Or the Beasties firing MCA. The band can’t go on.

Thanks! It's incredibly difficult to pick just one artist per decade though.

Your list is great too. I'm surprised you dropped Sonic Youth.

It’s because of Pleasant Dreams

The older I get the more amazed I am at how fresh The Ramones still sound. They cut through the fog of time. Other bands I tend to associate with a time and place at least a little but I associate The Ramones with my whole life.
