So the 2000's are about to end, what were the top 10 best albums of the decade?

The decade is about to end, a very awkward decade in music I will say, there was some good but a lot of bad. New trends, new ways to play, new insight on what is good but I suppose you can't dwell in nostalgia forever.... Lots have changed... With that said, whats your opinion on the top 10 best albums from 2000-2009? Here's what I think. I wouldn't mind getting insight on my thoughts either. :P

10) Portishead-Third (released 2008 )

9) SilverSun Pickups- Carnavas (Released 2006)

8 )The Strokes-Is This It 2001

7)Interpol-Turn on the Bright Lights (released 2001)

6) Modest Mouse-The Moon & Antarctica (released 2000)

5) Radiohead- In Rainbows (released 2007)

4) Arcade Fire-Funeral (released 2005)

3)Mars Volta- De-Loused in the Comatorium (released 2003)

2)Sigur Ros-Agaetis (released 1999/2000)

1) Bjork-Vespertine (released 2001)

Your thoughts? What is your list? Agreed/disagree?

Yeah! It's good to see The Strokes up there! Imo, Is This It revitalized the rock scene in the 2000s at a time when Nickelback was "rock".goth_bacon

It would take me a while to compose that list..sammyjenkis898

No real order (though Kid A is #1)

Is This It - The Strokes

Kid A - Radiohead

In Rainbows - Radiohead

Funeral - Arcade Fire

The Moon & Antarctica - Modest Mouse

Dear Science - TV on the Radio

Hail to the Thief - Radiohead

Strawberry Jam - Animal Collective

White Blood Cell - The White Stripes

This decade sucked in music. I wish I could have experienced the 70's or 80's, nothing compares to those days. Still I did like Velvet Revolvers 2 CD's, Chinese Democracy and the Foo Fighters stuff. That is about it. TheColbert

Kid A is just a good album, its not gods musical decent to the world. I just disagree completely, and I know Im part of the minority since everyone just loves Kid A. And to call In Rainbows a rushed "here you go" album is very disappointing. If anything, its light years ahead of anything they have ever done.

[QUOTE="mexicangordo"]

[QUOTE="battlefront23"] I would! There needs to be moar blink love on this God-forsaken forum. :Psammyjenkis898

Oh, wow, so many... I don't wanna list them.

Everything put out by Porcupine Tree, Muse (except The Resistance), Radiohead, Riverside, Dredg, Frost*, Pure Reason Revolution, Opeth, Bloodbath, ect.... I don't even want to list all the bands let alone the albums. :P

I can say that this would end up on my list, possibly in the top five. I've been listening to this thing constantly over the past month.

Hell, my top ten albums of the decade would be pretty close to my top ten favorite albums..

As for In Rainbows, I can easily see how someone might think it might not stand out. The album isn't instant sugar like The Bends was, it does take dedication. Its one of those albums that when you listen to it more than a few times to finally reach a revelation of , "O I understand what their doing now"

The ones that come to mind are:

10. Angra - Rebirth
9. Draconian - Where Lovers Mourn
8. Amon Amarth - With Oden On Our Side
7. Ensiferum - Ensiferum
6. Bolt Thrower - Those Once Loyal
5. Amon Amarth - Versus the World
4. Symphony X - Paradise Lost
3. Edenbridge - MyEarthDream
2. Falconer - Falconer
1. Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God

Oh, wow, so many... I don't wanna list them.

I'm only going to do a top 5 because, in all reality, I'm listening to so much new music all the time, and constantly discovering new stuff I can't really say for sure how I feel about a top 10( and I'm lacking many many albums)

In no order:

(Colors and Alaska are really tied for me, though)

Okay I got it :D. No particular order cause that'll be more hard work :x.

Paul Mccartney-Chaos and Creation in the Backyard

George Harrison-Brainwashed(RIP)

Radiohead-Kid A

Muse-Origin of Symmetry

Jay-Z-The Blueprint

John Mayer-Room for Squares(That album was my childhood)

System of a Down-Toxicity

Interpol-Turn on the Bright Lights

Blu & Exile-Below the heavens

Beck-Sea Changes.

There we go :D

"Hot Fuss" The Killers

"Kid A" Radiohead

"The Sun and the Moon" The Bravery

"Franz Ferdinand" Franz Ferdinand

"Hopes and Fears" Keane

were my favorites.

I can say that this would end up on my list, possibly in the top five. I've been listening to this thing constantly over the past month.

Hell, my top ten albums of the decade would be pretty close to my top ten favorite albums..

sammyjenkis898

10. Poets and Madmen - Savatage

9. Chickenfoot - Chickenfoot

Embrace is a great song, but my two favorites are the title track and Live for the Kill.
