what musician / artist / band had the best recorded catalog of the 2000s (i.e. releases between 1/1/00 and 12/31/09)?Don’t know (and don’t really care) about arguing “best” — but The Fiery Furnaces and Neil Michael Hagerty/The Howling Hex were my favorites.

if I limit it to artists with at least three great albums in the decade the my list would be:
GhostfaceJunior BoysLil Wayne (includes mixtapes)Miranda LambertNeko CaseRadioheadSleater-KinneySpoonTed Leo and the PharmacistsThe Fiery Furnaces
I wouldn't consider either to be among my all-time favorites but just in terms of sheer number of very good albums released in this arbitrary timeframe my answer might be Neko or Spoon.

Blonde Redhead, but I think Broadcast is the best answer here.

Nina Nastasia showed up, dropped excellent albums for those ten years exploring and expanding a very distinct style, then stopped.

Deerhoof had a great five-album run from 2002's Reveille to 2007's Friend Opportunity. But they also had 3 other albums in the decade that I think are OK at best.
also, i admit grudgingly, Kanye had his 3 best albums, and 808s was influential, at least.

another vote for hey there's a poll in a week or two, we'll find out then ;)

sorry, i didn't realize there was a poll happening
although i assume it will end up producing a list of albums for the decade, right? which is different than what i'm trying to get at. (granted, what i'm getting at is probably easier considered with those poll results on hand.)
