I'll ride for August and Everything After as in the running for best album of the decade in it's category, whatever that is.

Rain King and Omaha are in the discussion with the two you picked.

I'll also put in a word for A Long December, because I've smelled hospitals in winter and seen the way that light attaches to a girl.

Forgot about A Long December. Great song!

Ten Years After’s performance of “I’m Going Home” was one of the highlights of Woodstock, but the band’s biggest hit was “I’d Love to Change the World,” released in 1971. It’s a great song with a fantastic guitar solo by Alvin Lee. The song has some bad lyrics, however, so I won’t post the link.

“It’s late September and I really should be back at school”

It actually was late September (1971) and my girlfriend and I really should have been back at school but being young and foolish we decided to take our first road trip together and it seemed like this song was on the radio constantly. I guess the trip went pretty well - 47th anniversary coming up soon.

I'm primarily a 60's and 70's guy when it comes to music, but I remember hearing this one a fair amount in the early 80's IIRC:
 
And then this fellow, Paul Weller, left the Style Council and became a solo artist.

From one of his early albums, this is my favorite from him:
 
It’s tough to pick one by Zappa. It was either the Grand Wazoo, Little House I used to Live in, Billy the Mountain. . . or this one:
