  • Lateralus isn't as good as Aenima, but its still a good record. A bit dull at times, and I could really have done without every song being 9 minutes long... but still its fucking Tool and even an average Tool record is better than most peoples best.

    . It's been one of my favorites.

    i am going to agree also Boroff. i dont know why people see thia decade as being poor. it might be a little more spread apart than the 90's but i think its filled with great music. the thing that is different in the 00's is that there has been a big movement yet as compared to the 90's. and people are too lazy to go out and find the good music , they want it to be placed in their lap. and as i remember correctly 1996-1999 did not offer much that can be considered great

    not too much :)


    96- Tool- Aneimia
    96- Pearl Jam- No Code
    97- Built To Spill-Perfect From Now On
    97- Radiohead- Ok Computer
    97- Modest Mouse- The Oh Lonesome Crowded West
    98- Neutral Milk Hotel- In an aeroplane over the sea
    98- Pearl Jam- Yield
    99- Built to spill- Keep it like a secret

    Just busting your balls. I know what you mean music from about 97 onward to me has made it more difficult to find good music. I think that is when you had to begin digging alittle harder to find the good stuff

    So i agree with you i just had to give you a hard time becasue all the albums i just listed off the top of my head above i LOVE!

    Well, I guess it's just all opinion, but I prefer Lateralus more than Ænima.

    Sure thing Viggs. I wish more people would vote. I know it's a tough task to narrow things down to 10 (for most of us, anyway), but a more represntative sample would be nice.

    I'm becoming rather known for my notorious Wilco posts. haha. This list is subject to change, but here goes nothing: In no particular order, my top ten of the 2000's.

    1) Yankee Hotel Foxtrot - Wilco (an unparalleled classic!)

    2) Guided by Voices - Half Smiles of the Decomposed (the victory lap for this legendary indie band - one of my favorite GBV records)

    3) Arcade Fire - Funeral (an outstanding debut album. Not a bad song in sight.)

    4) Modest Mouse - The Moon and Antarctica (really melancholy MM album. Brilliant.)

    5) Ryan Adams - Love is Hell (one of the saddest records ever recorded, got me through some hard times.)

    6) The Wrens - The Meadowlands (could be the best album so far, one of the best albums of the past decade, along with YHF of course!)

    7) Circus Devils - The Harold Pig Memorial (call me crazy, but I really dig this Pollard side project. It's scary.)

    8) Wilco - A Ghost is Born (some of the best guitar work ever recorded. Could be even better than YHF. Depends on my mood)

    9) David Gray - Life In Slow Motion (Even though this is a fairly recent record, I'm real into it right now. Beautiful.)

    10) Paul Westerberg - Stereo/Mono ( I want "Let the bad times Roll" played at my funeral.)

    Haha. It does fucking rock, for sure. And had it met the qualifications, it probably would have been in my top ten. Sorry. But feel free to replace it with another.
