60s - Piper at the Gates of Dawn
70s - Wish You Were Here
80s - Private Eyes
90s and onward - who cares
ETA: Remember: it's not what your favorite stuff was, but what you think most closely defined what that particular decade was all about.

A progressive rock album is the defining album of the decade? Doubt that. It would have to be Zep II or something more traditional rock and roll. Not atmsophere rock.

60's- Bob Dylan "Highway 61 Revisited"
70's- Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon"
80's- Michael Jackson "Thriller"
90's- Nirvana "Nevermind"
2000's- Kanye West "The College Dropout"

No. It depends on how you personally view the decade. The 70s were a very discouraging, cynical, "let-down" decade for many, many people who came of age during the 60s, particularly in Thatcherist England. This despondency would boil over into the anger of the punk explosion in the latter part of that decade. While I'll be quick to point out that the 70s brought no such tumult to the USA, the sense of loss of hope and innocence was just as keenly felt by "hippies" over here, which helps explain why DSOTM and WYWH were so popular.
I happen to think that DSOTM is an excellent choice as a representative of the 70s, but think the sentiment expressed in that record was refined even more with Wish You Were Here. I don't think I've heard a more morose, depressive-sounding record made during that decade, by that particular generation (unless you want to count The Wall, which I believe was released in 1980).
Of course Joy Division and the like would top all that, but this was music by a different generation.
sorry for the tl;dr

Dark Side of the Moon 's insane production values greatly influenced the rest of the decade and beyond across multiple genres.

As much as I hate kanye west, college dropout is probably the best choice for the 2000s. Music in the 90s was great up until around 1999 when the boy band revolution and Britney spears took off. Ever since then music has been at an all time low.

40 oz to freedom should be considered for 90s.

Not my favorites, but pretty much what I think of when some says "XX's music":
60s: Beatles - Sgt Pepper's. I don't even see how this can be disputed. It's the biggest album by the biggest band of the decade (I also think they have about 5 better albums)
70s: Fleetwood Mac - Rumours. I don't think an album could get more "70s" than this. It practically comes with a bag of cocaine.
80s: Michael Jackson - Thriller. King of Pop. The commodification of rock n roll is complete.
90s: Nirvana - Nevermind. Really, what we think of as the "90s" lasted about 5 years, but this was the grunge centerpiece.
00s: Kanye West - The College Dropout. the defining artist of the aughts. Deal.

I'd give 2000s to Marshall Mathers LP domestically and Hybrid Theory worldwide. Most people don't understand how popular LP is outside the states cause they can't even sell out arenas in the states anymore.
