[taxman]

Post your favourite artist from each decade that you wish to name one from. I'm gonna start at the 60's...but feel free to do whatever. Note: Artists that existed across various era's can be thrown in anywhere.

60's: David Bowie
70's: The Cure (formed 78)
80's: The Pixies (formed 86)
90's: Radiohead
00's: The Shins

This will be a contender for the lamest thread of 05...but hey, I enjoyed it.
