In less than two years this decade will be over. It's hard to believe, as most of us still haven't decided what to call it (the "oughts", the "naughties"?) let alone get a grip on what it means (defining the 00s). It's been a blur of stolen elections, downspiraling economies, mounting debt, and a paranoid entertainment industry relentlessly jerking their customers around. Despite all the BS, some people still managed to release some good albums. The era of blockbusters are over, because the industry no longer has a stranglehold on bottlenecking the variety of what we choose to listen to. As much as they'd like twenty million people to all buy the same ten albums at Walmart, we have a far wider variety of choices than ever before. There is no longer much consensus, and canons are always questionable. That may sound strange coming from a compulsive listmaker, but I'm all for supporting a variety of opinions. Lists aren't very interesting if they're all alike.
Too many choices to make this a poll. Give us your top 1, 5, 10, 20, 100 artists and albums. Which artists do you think will move up the ranks this year and '09?

I have a far better idea of how the current decade will be seen retrospectively, than I had at the end of the 90's. I don't know what that means though.

Great, BUH-BYE my dirty lil' ballwasher, the family jewels miss ya already.
Back to topic, then. Don't let the trolls scare you. Every year there are threads discussing best of year so far, usually before the year is half over. The decade is over 80% over. There's no reason to wait 'til the glossies have their end of decade features put to bed to talk about it first. A good majority of the people here participate in the year end polls.
It's harder to address an entire decade, for sure. It feels like a bigger commitment to state your favorite of the decade so far. It's certainly more difficult. But we do have one year and 11 months to change our minds. Is anyone feeling secure enough to give an honest answer?

Let us say that one would need 3 great LPs released in the decade to qualify for our project.
With that in mind, we hereby nominate:
Drive-By Truckers White Stripes
MIA and Bob Dyaln both need one more to qualify, then they'll top the list.

The Black Keys are #64 for me, would have been higher if it weren't for Magic Potion. Super Furry Animals had a good run, but I couldn't get into Love Kraft and Hey Venus!.
― Fastnbulbous, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 18:07 (sixteen years ago) link
I excluded artists who had only one album from my list, and I did give more weight to those who had three to five consistently great albums. Technically going just by points Radiohead would have topped it, but I also consider the fact that they're more on an artistic downswing, while I'm betting that TVOTR have yet to peak. Hopefully I'll find out later this year. I counted their EPs too.

One notable critic who did not like the album was Richard Goldstein, a critic for The New York Times, who wrote, "Like an over-attended child, "Sergeant Pepper" is spoiled. It reeks of horns and harps, harmonica quartets, assorted animal noises, and a 41-piece orchestra," and added that it was an "album of special effects, dazzling but ultimately fraudulent" [5]. On the other hand, Goldstein called "A Day in the Life" "a deadly earnest excursion in emotive music with a chilling lyric," and that "it stands as one of the most important Lennon-McCartney compositions, and it is a historic Pop event."[6]

I'm just going to list some artists I think deserve consideration. I'm sure all of them have been mentioned above, but nevertheless . . . These are in no particular order. The list is heavily-weighted toward indie rock, since it's what I know and like best. There are a ton of pop acts I also like, but I tend to experience those as individual songs, making it harder to assess those acts' historical significance.
Okay, enough qualifiers. Here's my list:
• Radiohead • My Morning Jacket • New Pornographers • Justin Timberlake • Timberland • M.I.A. • Arcade Fire • Burial • Dizzie Rascal • Ellen Allien • Ghostface Killa • Junior Boys • Wilco • J Dilla • LCD Soundsystem • Lindstrom • Low • Spoon • OutKast • The Clientele • The Knife • The Shins • Amadou Et Mariam • Manu Chao • Animal Collective • White Stripes • Iron & Wine • Drive-By Truckers • Hold Steady • TV On The Radio • Sufjan Stevens • Kanye West • The Books • Broken Social Scene • Britney Spears • Eminem • The Streets
Anyway, I suppose it's a bit premature to make pronouncements on the decade, but I think this kind of thread is totally worthwhile and an enjoyable read.

I love lots of what's unfairly labelled "world music," too, but I don't think much of it is from the oughts, and those that are I tend to experience like pop songs (i.e., as individual songs). Rachid Taha has been dynamite, with his 2006 disc Diwan 2, so maybe I should have listed him.

Sussan Deyhim - Madman Of God: Divine Love Songs of the Persian Sufi Masters
Pleasantly surprised to see that I wasn't the only person to name this. A fusion of a traditional non-Western music style, modern technology, and avant-garde sensibility that works.

I thought it fell short. (Of something. I forget what exactly, since I sold my copy.)

(Not that getting rid of a CD automatically wipes out my memory of it, but the point is I don't have it to listen to any more, to refresh my memory.)
