Oh, and for my final 2-
Audioslave-Audioslave
Audioslave-Out Of Exile
I knew I was forgetting some band!
Just a suggestion...should we include the PJ albums?? They will probably win...
I am fine with PJ being included. This isn't about a "winning" album as much as it's about establishing a list of highly regarded albums amongst the Synergy crew.
It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.
The Warmth is fantastic, favorite Incubus song of all, ok tied with Glass then. lol
HONESTLY i can listen to that album right through without skipping a beat! its so good.... fav songs from that album off the top of my head... pardon me, make yourself... and the warmth- definately awesome!

Have we lost our way tonight?
Have we lost our hope to sorrow?
Feels like were all alone
Running further from what’s right
And there are no more heroes to follow
I'm surprised that Out of Exile only has one vote...seeing as there are 5 Audioslave threads made every other minute.
That's what is nice about polls like this. It helps to contextualize things. I am going to try to neaten the list up later tonight. Maybe alphabatize them. The one vote CDs are getting messy.
It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.
Me and you will probably be the only people voting for those haha!
LOL although i think boroff gave it one vote (along with about 5 million others haha). second skin is an awesome album.......SICK AND WRONG!
to go through all these votes is a full-time job in itself......

This was harder than I imagined it would be, I think its because the last 5 years have been kind of crappy, which has forced my seeking out of new music to shift more towards looking to the past rather than seeking out current bands. But honestly, if I were making the proverbial desert island list of CDs to bring with me, I don't know if any of these would make the top 10 or even 20.

Not a great decade, and two of those are comedy albums. Perhaps if I'd actually heard Process of Belief or The Empire Strikes First by Bad Religion, my answer might be different.
*I like MB20, they make good albums, but if this were any other decade, there would be no way they would even get on this list.

I am going to veto the comedy albums. This poll is about music. If you want to replace them, feel free. It's interesting that people keep commenting that this has been a poor decade. It's been one of my favorites.

In addition to the Sigur Ros album being from 1999, Ray Wilson's is a live album, so that won't work.

mine too. A little more difficult to get to the good stuff but the rewards for me so far have been incredible.
I agree too. I think if you keep your ear only to main stream radio it has been horrible since about 97, but there is a lot of good stuff out there you just have to look a little harder for.
