The Best Albums Of The Decade (2000-2010)
 

Well this year and decade seems to be near it's end, great music I must say.
Now then MY personal opinion of the Albums of the decade. Feel free to comment or express yours :)

1. The Vines - Highly Evolved (2002)
I thought this album was outstanding. I know a lot of people think they suck but they are just amazing. The BEST album of this decade. (Although I was considering their 2nd album 'Winning Days' I had to choose this one)

2. Blur - Think Tank
AMAZING!

3. Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (2006)
Another great outstanding album.

4. The Kills - No Wow (2005)
Check this one out :)

5. The Strokes - Is This It (2001)
Really good album.

6. Megadeth - Endgame (2009)
Although I prefer their old stuff, pretty good album for a Thrash Metal giant from the 80s

7. Band Of Skulls - Baby Darling Doll Face Honey (2009)
8. Dinosaur Jr. - Beyond (2007)
9. Korn - Untouchables (2002)
10. Radiohead - Kid A (2000)

This could be interesting :).
I'll have to think about that...

At least:
The Bees - Sunshine Hit me
The Bees - Every Step's a Yes
Last Shadow Puppets - Age of the Understatement
Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldier
Wolf People - Tidings
Wolf People - Steeple
The Good, the Bad and the Queen - The Good, the Bad and The Queen
Balthazar - Applause
Black Mountain - Black Mountain
Black Mountain - In the Future
Crystal Antlers - Tentacles
Dub Trio - Exploring the Dangers Of
Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabies
The National - Boxer
Sleepy Sun - Embrace
Sleepy Sun - Fever
The Sound of Zzz - Zzz
Calexico - Feast of Wire
Calexico - Carried to Dust
Calexico - Tool Box
Disrupt - Foundation Bit
It's been a pretty good decade :)

I cannot get that Wolf People album steeple out of my head. It is so good.

I couldn't possibly do a list though as there are far too many albums for me to include.

I like steeple, but I prefer Tidings.
It's maybe a bit too experimental (lot of intermezzo's and stuff), but the actual 'songs' are so beautiful.

I don't want to derail your thread here, but didn't the decade end at the end of 2009? I'm seeing all of these end of decade lists all the sudden, yet it's only a year into the new decade?

2000-2010 is 11 years, so obviously not a decade. 2000-2009 was the decade

/end rant

Most count it by when we get into a new set of digits. The 20s, the 30s, etc

OH yeah I think you're right :/ Woops haha it's appreciated :laughing:
:offtopic:

But yes outstanding decade of music!
But the 90s is the height of music, that's when it's at it's best :)

YES!! Of course bro :D

You like? ;D.

1. Kid A - Radiohead
2. Funeral - Arcade Fire
3. The Suburbs - Arcade Fire
4. Hail to the Thief - Radiohead
5. In Rainbows - Radiohead
6. Amnesiac - Radiohead
7. Good News for People who Love Bad News - Modest Mouse
8. Renegades - Rage Against the Machine
9. Demon Days - Gorillaz
10. Neon Bible - Arcade Fire

HM - Plastic Beach - Gorillaz; Is this it - Strokes

Sure you've got enough Radiohead there ;)

Off the top of my head...

Ali Farka Touré & Toumani Diabaté - In the Heart Of the Moon
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - No More Shall We Part
Bat For Lashes - Two Suns
London Elektricity - Billion Dollar Gravy
Thievery Corporation - The Mirror Conspiracy
LTJ Bukem - Journey Inwards
Amon Tobin - Out From Out Where
David Bowie - Heathen
The Future Sound Of London - Environments
Dub Incorporation - Diversité

Any such list is incomplete without at least one Flaming Lips album. I'd pick "Embryonic" here.

My favorites off the top of my head. Spoon. Kill the moonlight. M.I.a. Kala. Modest mouse. Moon and antarctica. Hold steady. Boys and girls in america. Madvillain. Madvillainy. White stripes elephant drive by truckers. Southern rock opera. Loretta lynn. Van lear rose. Les savy fav. Let's stay friends. Ghostface killah. Supreme clientele. And yes the decade did end last year I had the same argument with my girlfriend

An attempt:

2000s - a delayed retrospective by Clutnuckle himself - Rate Your Music

I limited it to stuff I actually consider at least 'great' as a whole, and none of those 'good, honorable mentions'. It's also one album per artist, which limits the ability for redundancy and shows more of what the decade had to offer in the same amount of time.

Ya know, this is probably a very poor and not comprehensive list, but I love it! You've got some great stuff, and apparently I need to check Band of Skulls out...

You can tell my obvious love for Avant-garde metal here:

"Of Natural History" Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
"Infernal Machina" Janick Top(absolute classic, highest recommendation)
"Buck Fever" Estradasphere
"In a Flesh Aquarium" Unexpect
"Midwestern Apathy" 1point3
"The Sham Mirrors" Arcturus
"Mirrored" Battles
"Six Litanies for Heliogabalus" John Zorn
"LES CYGNES ET LES CORBEAUX" Christian Vander(What? I'm a Magma fanboy. STill I would HIGHLY recommend this to any classical, or prog fan.)
"Inversed World" Dirty Granny Tales(actually learned about it from here)
"Flight of the Wounded Locust" The Locust
"Book of Horizons" Secret Chiefs 3
"White Pepper" Ween
"Angherr Shishpa" Koenji Hyakkei
"Bondage Fruit VI" - Bondage Fruit

Four of my favorite albums of the decade right there!

Funera l- Arcade Fire
Demon Days - The Gorillaz
Brothers - The Black Keys
Cage The Elephant - Cage The Elephant
Thank You, Happy Burthday - Cage The Elephant
No Ones First, and You're Next - Modest Mouse
Absolution - Muse
Costello Music - The Fratellis
Asleep at Heaven's Gate - Rogue Wave
XL Recordings - Loud Pipes

Oh, come on! The Black Keys have released at least two better albums themselves!

Loving all The Arcade Fire and Radiohead

Loving all the Cage The Elephant and Ratatat Yeah!

Ah man you put Good News with no mention of Moon and Antartica?

And I don't know about The Suburbs. But thats just me.

But I enjoy this list otherwise.

Might have to edit this later, but I'll just name some for now:

Kid A- Radiohead
The Moon & Antarctica- Modest Mouse
The Ocean & The Sun- The Sound Of Animals Fighting
Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager- Kid Cudi
Perch Patchwork- Maps & Atlases
Good Old War- Good Old War
Icky Thump- The White Stripes
American Hearts- A.A. Bondy
Tonight: Franz Ferdinand- Franz Ferdinand

I can't put together 10 but with all the indie love i'm surprised no one's mentioned "Merriwether Post Pavilion" or "Strawberry Jam." Also I really really dig MGMT's "Congratulations" but it got pretty much panned by most critics. Eh, **** em.

Also the decade is actually 2001-2010. Previous decade was 1991-2000. There was no year "0". The first decade was year 1 to year 10. New decade started at 11.

Wow, haven't even listened to this once since it first came out. Interesting choice.

So the eightys ended dec 31 1990?

I've seen this so many times on other forums. Yes i'm aware that there was no year 0AD but in modern times a decade is acknowledged as beginning in the year xxx0 and ending in xxx9, it just makes more mathematical sense. Therefore the 00's started on the 1st January 2000 and ended on the 31st December 2009.

There's a lot of great albums that has released in 2010. I liked your choice of Korn - Untouchables(2002). Korn is pretty good.

If anything, it's because of the instrumentation/beats. Some brought down the album though (RevOfEv) but I still like how it's a lot darker than the first MotM.

Here's my top 10 albums that I listened to the most the past decade...

1.Radiohead - Kid A
2.Arcade Fire - Funeral
3.The Strokes - Is This It
4.Spoon - Kill The Moonlight
5.The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
6.Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
7.The National - Boxer
8.Animal Collective - Merriwheter Post Pavillion
9.Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
10.Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker

Yeah, people who make the "but there wasn't a year zero" argument always fail to realize that there wasn't a year one either. The gregorian calendar wasn't adopted until many centuries after the fact and the julian calendar which it was modification of actually began in 45 BC.

No love for Wolf Parade - Apologies to Queen Mary? That might be my favorite album in the past quarter century.

My top 10 of the past ten years:

Wolf Parade - Apologies to Queen Mary
Bad Religion - Process of Belief
Radiohead - Kid A
Stankonia - Outkast
King Khan and the Shrine - What Is?!
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Sunset Rubdown - Dragonslayer
New Pornographers - Twin Cinema
Fugazi - the Argument
Women - Women
Beck - Sea Change

Ok, so it was 11. Whatever.

^^ Agree! Nice to see some love for Dragonslayer, such an amazing album.

I would have to say:

Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Wolf Parade - Apologies to the Queen Mary
The Antlers - Hospice
Postal Service - Give Up
Sunset Rubdown - Dragonslayer
Hey Rosetta! - Into Our Lungs
Iron & Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days
LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise
Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights

God, this list is so approved! Unite Postal Service fans!

Radiohead - Kid A
Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
My Morning Jacket - Z
Sigur Ros - ( )
The Strokes - This Is It
Sufjan Stevens - Iillinoise
Radiohead - In Rainbows
Wilco - Yankee Foxthrot Hotel


nothing too shocking here.

hi.
 

I'm happy to be here and I'm glad to know more regarding on your site.

Haven't seen a mention of any Xiu Xiu album yet.

Paul Weller ~ As Is Now
Emmylou Harris ~ Red Dirt Girl
Tift Merritt ~ Bramble Rose
The Jayhawks ~ Rainy Day Music
Rodney Crowell ~ Fate's Right Hand
Buddy Miller ~ Universal United House Of Prayer
Norah Jones ~ Come Away With Me
Dave Alvin ~ Ashgrove
Alvin Youngblood Hart ~ Motivational Speaker
Ryan Adams ~ Cold Roses
Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings ~ 100 Days 100 Nights
Elvis Costello ~ Secret Profane & Sugarcane
Joshua Redman ~ Compass
Levon Helm ~ Dirt Farmer
Ryan Bingham ~ Mescalito
Bettye LaVette ~ Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook

That band sucks so bad. I went to see them in concert and the only thing good about it was the heckler in the crowd who called it like it was.

I could argue about this, but I would just end up getting a bit flustered. Not to mention musical taste arguments get people virtually nowhere.
