Kind of arbitrary years, but chosen to be even decade increments across the years until now.
Don't choose more than one performance of the same program, but OK to choose short program and free skate (for example) by the same skater/team if those are indeed among your top favorites.
Feel free to choose examples from 1985 or 1975 as well if you've seen enough programs from those years.
Do you see any patterns in what you like/liked best from different eras of skating history? E.g., has your favorite discipline changed?
Are you choosing only senior medal contenders for any of these years, or do you have favorites from lower ranked skaters or juniors in one or more of these time periods?
What makes more of a difference in what you like -- the specific skaters active at the time? the rules in effect at the time? or...?

very nicely integrated spiral sequence, no longer a SP requirement.
Of course, I follow our skaters so it's easier for me to think about them when posting an all-time great list. There are a lot of skaters I have admired from every single of these decades (Yuka Sato, Lu Chen, Denis Ten, Dubreuil-Lauzon, Nathan Chen, Shoma Uno, Shen and Zhao, Sui and Han, Han Yan, Yuma Kagiyama, Adam Siao Him Fa, etc etc etc)
