    Please.....

    Vitalogy would have it's way with Binarual while Backspacer sat on the bed crying.

    yeah..ahh...first of all...Vitalogy is from the fucking '90s...so that's not this decade..2nd...Binaural beats Vitalogy like Bruce Lee beat Chuck Norris in Return of the dragon....Chuck gets in some good licks at first and it looks like he might even win the match at one point...till Bruce changes up styles, kicks his ass....and then snaps his fucking neck!!! BINAURAL IS VICTORIOUS!!!!!

    I say this without having heard the album:

    Björk beating out Backspacer is funny to me.

    Also, I'm surprised there isn't more Kings of Overplayed on the list.

    Also good to see some nice 1-hit-wonders like Vampire Weekend floating around on there. :)

    i think they get unjust flak because some think their are too worried about the appearence of being cool or the fashion rock thing, or all the publicity they got before they even played live,but in the end all three albums are rock solid. short to the point rock songs. good stuff

    but wait... i was told Backspacer is a total masterpiece!!!
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    That list aint to my taste really. A couple would probably make my top 20. Seems like more a fad list but each to his own. A few that should make a top 20:

    QOTSA: Songs for The Deaf
    Radiohead: Hail to the Thief
    Pearl Jam: Riot Act
    Coldplay: Parachutes
    The Cure: The Cure
    Death Cab For Cutie: Plans
    Idiot Pilot: Wolves
    The Mars Volta: De=Loused in the Comatorium
    Nine inch Nails: Year Zero

    Kate Bush - Aerial

    It's gotta be top ten. Amazing album. Feels like the culmination of a decade's thought.
    we're all going to the same place...

    Hard to believe "Parachutes" came out in the 2000s but, you're right, it did. You've jogged my memory such that I can add two other contenders to the Radiohead and Wilco albums I mentioned yesterday: Coldplay's "X & Y" (yes, I realize I'm the only person who considers this his favorite Coldplay album) and U2's "All That You Can't Leave Behind."
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Hrm. And here, I thought "X & Y" was just the 5th Anniversary reissue of Parachutes. You know, since they named their 2nd anniversary reissue "A Rush of Blood to the Head". ;)

    I don't get that at all. Coldplay's third and fourth albums don't sound much like their first or second albums.
