That Talk Talk album is one I always mean to listen to every time I see it mentioned but then forget. If Alexa has it I’m going to get her to play it shortly.

I've just noticed - given that Kid A was released in 2000 and The Family Jewels in 2010, I may not be premature in declaring Future Nostalgia as the highpoint of the 20's after all...
 
Oh Spirit of Eden is great, although I've only ever listened a couple of times.
 
I’m going to include a 70s one just because I love it even if it was released before I was alive.

70s : ‘Blue’ - Joni Mitchell
80s : ‘Lovely’ - The Primitives
90s : ‘Live Through This’ - Hole
00s : ‘Stories From The City Stories From The Sea’ - PJ Harvey
10s : ‘Synthia’ - The Jezabels
 
80s - Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
90s - Madonna - Ray of Light
00s - Bjork - Vespertine
10s - Susanne Sundfør - Ten Love Songs
20s - Erm...Chromatica or Future Nostalgia I guess but I'm sure I'm forgetting something

If we may update with 20s (...SO FAR!!!) (and if you got that reference, you're an Aussie lesbian), then:

90s: Shania Twain - Come On Over
00s: Kylie Minogue - Fever
10s: Lady Gaga - Born This Way
20s: Jessie Ware - What's Your Pleasure

we should actually end the decade now because nothing's gonna top it. not even the next Dido album.
