    for me, pearl jam is in a class by itself, I dont put them in "best of lists"

    But any such list must include the albums I could not put down when they came out

    1. Wilco-Yankee hotel foxtrot
    2. Arctic monkeys-whatever people say I am......
    3. Coldplay-parachutes
    4. Supergrass-life on other planets

    Thats all I can think of now

    *Okay, okay, the S/T was from '98. Big deal.

    I can't even name any great albums from this decade. Even the bands that are still around from the 90's made their best albums in the 90's. Now don't get me wrong, I like the last Pearl Jam album, but to say it's in the same league as the first 3 Pearl Jam albums, now that would be a lie.
  • 1. Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf (a must have)
    2. Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam (I hope this album ages well)
    3. White Stripes - Elephant (Meg White is Hot)
    4. Beck - Sea Change (Why don't more people talk about this album?)
    5. Green Day - American Idiot (I don't care if i get flamed, I fucking love it - bite me)
    6. The Strokes - Is this It (I want them to keep pushing themselves)
    7. Queens of the Stone Age - Rated R ('nuff said)
    8. Tool - Lateralus (not my cup of tea, but this bands influence speaks for itself)
    9. System of a Down - Toxicity (actually, all of their albums are consistenly sweet, but I went with the popular choice)
    10. Wolfmother - Wolfmother (I guess I get why some people don't like them, but I can't get enough of it. Really regret not seeing them live - heard they were fucking monsters)

    Also, on a side note, I really enjoyed the first Velvet Revolver album when it first came out, but I wouldn't put it in the same class as the rest of these...

    1. Fugazi - The Argument

    6. Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf

    Haha yeah as an album, Is This It is one of the best albums released in along time. Are the strokes better than Pearl Jam....Hell no, Pearl Jam is my absolute favorite band, but if i posted every pearl jam album as my top ten then i would get ripped for not liking other music. This is a question asking what you thik the ten best are not your favorites. Cause i like Velvet Revolver more than i like TV on the Radio, but i think that TV made a really great album. If it was my favorite albums of the 2000's then i would include alot of different material. So I'm sorry i did not meet your expectations with "MY" picks.

    Great decade for music. Leaving Pearl Jam out of this:

    1. Arcade Fire- Neon Bible
    2. The Shins- Chutes Too Narrow
    3. Green Day- American Idiot
    4. Modest Mouse- The Moon and Antarctica
    5. The Mars Volta- Frances the Mute
    6. Arcade Fire- Funeral
    7. Beck- Sea Change
    8. Incubus- Morning View
    9. Wilco- Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
    10. Radiohead- Kid A

    Lots of others could have been here. Even with Pearl Jam included, I wouldn't have Binaural anywhere near the top ten. They will always be my favorite band, but Binaural, in my opinion, is the worst thing they've ever done. I also would not have Tool's Lateralus anywhere near the top ten. When we did this thread as a poll one time before (which I ran), it got an outrageous number of votes. I like Tool, but Lateralus is not a great album.
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.
