    this decade of music is still very fresh, which makes it the most difficult to narrow down, and i noticed some people making rap lists for the 90's. i'll do that here to make things easier on myself. it doesn't look like everyone is following the rules anyway.

    1. broken social scene - you forgot it in people
    2. bright eyes - lifted or the story is the soil keep your ear to the ground
    3. arcade fire - funeral
    4. my morning jacket - z
    5. wilco - a ghost is born
    6. neko case - middle cyclone
    7. the shins - chutes too narrow
    8. spoon - kill the moonlight
    9. grizzly bear - vekatimest
    10. m. ward - post war

    hip hop/r&b

    1. common - be
    2. talib kweli & dj hi tek/reflection eternal - train of thought
    3. the roots - phrenology
    4. kanye west - the college dropout
    5. jay-z - the blueprint
    6. atmosphere - when life gives you lemons you paint that shit gold

    THAT'S IT!!! Rules need to be followed in my thread!!! :evil: :lol::lol: 8-) :lol:

    Finally, here is my list, with random comments:

    Coldplay: A Rush of Blood to the Head - This band gets a bad rap, rightfully so with the plagiarism issues and all, but this album is just about perfect.
    Death Cab for Cutie: Plans - Hard choice over Transatlanticism for possibly my favorite band of the 00s
    Foo Fighters: One by One - underrated album with quintessential Foo sound
    Franz Ferdinand: Franz Ferdinand - it made my list even with the homoerotic song Michael
    Kings of Leon: Because of the Times - best combination of the ballsiness of the 1st 2 albums with the polish of their last 2 albums
    Muse: Absolution - stacked collection of awesome rocking songs with a progressive slant
    Pearl Jam: Pearl Jam (Avocado) - underrated album by Pearl Jam fans in general - my favorite 5-song finish on any PJ album
    Queens of the Stone Age: Songs for the Deaf - Album is practically perfect, except for all the stupid radio inserts throughout (which I edited out in iTunes), and features the best drummer of our generation. :D
    Radiohead: Kid A - except it gave them the electronica bug, unfortunately
    Silversun Pickups: Carnavas - there is a woman in the band, but the singer is a man

    The radio inserts in Songs for the Deaf are one of my favorite things about that album!

    No doubt. Make that album stand out.

    I already posted my top 10 but last year I did a top 25. So these will be my honorable mentions.

    11.Lamb of God-As the Palaces Burn
    12.White Stripes - Elephant
    13.Liam Finn-Ill be Lightning
    14.Once-OST
    15.Damien Rice-0
    16.Gorillaz-Demon Days
    17.K-Os-Joyful Rebellion
    18.Mastodon-Crack the Skye
    19.Radiohead-Amnesiac
    20.Pearl Jam-Avocado
    21.John Frusciante-To Record Only Water For 10 Days
    22.High on Fire- Blessed Black Wings
    23.Greenhornes-Dual Mono
    24.John Butler Trio-Sunrise over Sea
    25.Opeth - Blackwater Park



    Also I know it is all personal preference and everything but I am shocked at the amount of people listing In Rainbows over Kid A. I guess it is because it is more accessible, but Kid A is one of the best records of all time, let alone the decade. Seriously, its a trail blazer.

    oh wow...here it goes...

    1. Ryan Adams - Gold (hard to pick just one....Heartbreaker & Cold Roses are great too, but this is the one that first got my attention)
    2. Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (slam-dunk)
    3. Pearl Jam - Riot Act (their best since Vs, IMO)
    4. Steve Earle - Transcendental Blues (again, hard to pick just one, but this one was the soundtrack to my summer of 2000...along with Binaural, of course)
    5. Robert Plant & Allison Krauss - Raising Sand (unlikely pair, and such beautiful music)
    6. Lucinda Williams - World Without Tears (she'll break your heart if you listen too closely)
    7. Widespread Panic - Ball (tasty guitar riffs)
    8. Bob Dylan - Love and Theft (to me, forever associated with its release date of 9-11-01....which is weird because the music here always puts me in a good mood)
    9. Gov't Mule - The Deep End, vol. 1 (recommended to all bass guitarists or bass lovers)
    10. Black Crowes - Lions (love this one...always thought it was underrated)

    Wow, that was hard....already thinking of great stuff left off the list

    I see you found it. We also did 60s, 70s & 80s, which are now buried somewhere...

    Is anyone else more than a little alarmed that Zeitgeist has popped up twice? I know, to each his own and yadda, yadda yadda. But that was such a flaming bag of shit album. . .soulless, uninventive, mailed in. . .I can't possibly imagine someone loving it enough to call it a top 10 album for an entire decade.

    Leaving Wonderland- Marcy Playground (such an underated band)

    They seriously are! They're one of those bands that unfairly gets lumped in with the one-hit wonders, like Blind Melon. I only know the 1st two MP albums... I'll have to check this one out soon... been meaning to.
