Best albums of our decade?

this is my top 3:D

1. Rings around the world- Super Furry Animals

This album is sorta like the white album of our generation, it mixes so many genres together in one album. The rest of the albums by the super furry animals are all great but this one is the best of them all.

2. In Absentia- Porcupine Tree

Porcupine tree's best album by far, it mixes in many different themes and emotions that might be a little disturbing at times.

3. Leaders of the free world- Elbow

Elbow is a very underrated band, they sound like a mixture of coldplay and radiohead only their lead singer sounds like a bit like Peter Gabriel.

thats your best 3 of the decade? :?

Sometimes I think people pick these off the wall groups just so they feel cultured.

Or maybe its because I like the bands:| What is your top 3?

Never heard of those bands but my favorite are.

1. Toxicity by System of a down.

2. City of evil by Avenged Sevenfold

3. 10,000 fist by Disturbed

muse-Origin of symmetry. or anything with muse, just my opinion...

that's about it, not many good bands these day unfortunately. I would have said OK computer but I just remembered that came out by the turn of the decade.

1. The National- Boxer

Simply put, I've listened to it every day for the past 6 or so months. It's that good.

2. Arcade Fire- Funeral

I know it's cool to hate on the Arcade Fire these days, but they're the indie-rock darlings they are for a reason.

3. LCD Soundsystem- Sound of Silver

It's like the Reese's of music; who knew dance and rock would go together so well?

Honourable Mentions: Holy ****- (Self Titled); K'naan- The Dusty Foot Philosopher; Radiohead- Kid A; The White Stripes- White Blood Cells; TV on the Radio- Return to Cookie Mountain; DFA 1979- You're a Woman, I'm a Machine

Ooh, this is hard.

One of Kanye and Jay-Z's album for sure.

Of what I can remember that are of this decade:

1. Stadium Arcadium - RHCP

2. As Daylight Dies - KsE

3. Untouchables - KoRn

I dunno...

What's so "off-the-wall" about these bands?

Advance And Vanguish - 3 Inches of Blood

1. The National- Boxer

Boxer is an incredible album.It's quickly risen in my rankings. So has "Alligator", an their earlier effort from them(which is just a bit off Boxer's pace, if only because of awkward sequencing in Alligator).

Let's see, here's my top 3:

( ) - Sigur Ros

Yanqui U.X.O. - Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Sonic Nurse - Sonic Youth

I don't know, they just came to mind.

Good choices, Kid A is very underrated. Its one of my favorite Radiohead albums. The Bends and Hail to the thief are my other favorites. Amnesiac is good too but I wasnt big on In Rainbows for some reason, it really didnt click with me.

I can kinda see why Super furry animals would be a bit off the wall but not the others.

Actually, I never really got much into The National, but they gave a show earlier this year opening for Broken Social Scene and I have to say it was an amazing show, and now I really like them and listen to them regularly.

Lockedge, will you marry me? :oops:PBSnipes

I always wondered what song I'd want played at a wedding. I'd imagine"Oh Comely" wouldn't go over well....:P

[QUOTE="PBSnipes"]Lockedge, will you marry me? :oops:Lockedge

I would certainly use "Magic Hours" by Explosions in the Sky.

By the Wayby Red Hot Chili Peppers, but then again . . .

*looks at avatar and signature*

. . . I may have a tiny obsession with them. :P

probably QotSA's Songs for the Deaf, it came out in 2002 and it still is amazingkayn83

That is hands down the best album released so far this millennium.

In Rainbows had a few iffy tracks in "House of Cards" and "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi", but what really sets the album in a positive spin were "Videotape", "Reckoner", "Nude", and "All I need". In fact, Videotape is IMHO among the best album finishers ever...likely up there in the second tier with 'Colorado" by Grizzly Bear, and "Darkness on the Edge of Town" by Bruce Springsteen.

People tend to hate on HTTT way too much, from what I've heard. it was a very consistent, solid album.

I know I'd certainly enjoy "Your Hand in Mine"(as I feel it's probably the most beautiful piece of music recorded that I've heard), but I like tossing a wrench in tradition. :P "Magic Hours" is an excellent piece. I like "Glittering Blackness" a tiny bit more off that album, but...really, EitS don't make bad music. Even their semi-improvisational "The Rescue" was excellent.

Funky, funky song. Good selection :D

I don't believe I've purchased an album this decade.
famicommander

You really should. This decade has been incredible in terms of quality if you look for it. I'd wager better than the 90's, certainly better than the 80's(even though I dearly love new-wave), and probably only a little bit off the 70's.

Stillmatic - Nas

The Blueprint - Jay-Z

The College Dropout - Kanye West

The Cool - Lupe Fiasco

The Black Album - Jay-Z

You should get the album Schoolyard ghosts by No Man, that has some really beautiful music on it. No Man is Steven Wilson from porcupine tree's spin off band. One of his many.

Porcupine Tree? Seriously? I think it's pretty well known that Queensryche blows them out of the water even now, without Chris DeGarmo. As for my top 3,

1. Tempest - Balance

Kezia - Protest The Hero

I have a 6 disc CD changer in my car and SFTD hasnt left it since I got the car nearly 2 years ago.

Radiohead - In Rainbows

Modest Mouse - The Moon and Antarctica

Of Montreal - The Sunlandic Twins

IDK I don't listen to very much music from this decade. The 90's is where its at.

You know, Parachutes was a really good album. I don't know what went wrong.

Oh yeah, their egos blew up and they decided to lose that sincerity that shone in their debut. At least Viva la Vida is eons better than X&Y, although they've got a bit to go before getting back to Parachutes level.

well you have No One Knows, Go With the Flow and First it Giveth (the singles) that put the album on the map. But also Millionaire is so flipping heavy and Song for the Dead with that awesome drum opening. Plus solid songs like Do it Again and Gonna Leave You. Hell, the whole album blows me away lmao

Their early stuff is so different, very trippy at times. I really liked Fear of a blank planet though, it was shorter but it was like Wish you were here by pink floyd in how it didnt have many tracks but it was still great.
