13. Saul Williams - The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust
That's got to be the worst album title I've ever seen.

ill selection, snrub
― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 17:52 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

White Stripes are awful - Black Keys all the way!
― liamail, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 18:00 (sixteen years ago) link
3 LPs? That'd discriminate against SOOOOO many bands with obvious talent that have jus started (and even some going for a while, like franz).

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 18:02 (sixteen years ago) link
What about - the 3 LP's or the Black Keys?
― liamail, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 18:03 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

Three of the original four band members, bassist Jamie Krents, vocalist/drummer Nick Stumpf, and vocalist/guitarist Matthew Stinchcomb, are from Washington, D.C. They were heavily influenced by the hardcore scene that flourished during their youth in the D.C. area. They began playing together in a series of bands while in their teens and then all attended Oberlin College in Ohio, where they continued to play together. The three friends then moved to Brooklyn, New York after college, where the French Kicks were formed with vocalist/guitarist Josh Wise, a Princeton grad who originally hailed from Huntsville, Alabama.
In 1999 they released a self titled EP The French Kicks under the label My Pal God. Soon, after a lot of touring, the band signed to Startime International. They soon released the Young Lawyer EP in 2001. The group then embarked on a tour with fellow garage rockers The Vue and The Walkmen. In 2002 they released their first full length album, One Time Bells. Jamie Krents departed the band the next year, and was replaced on bass by Lawrence Stumpf, Nick's younger brother. In 2004, their next album, The Trial of the Century was released. Another personnel change occurred when Nick stopped playing drums at live shows to concentrate on his lead singing. A series of temporary drummers filled his spot until the band settled on Aaron Thurston, a Massachusetts native.
In late 2005, Stinchcomb announced that he was leaving the band. A new album was released on July 18, 2006 titled Two Thousand.
Their video for their single "So Far We Are" also features actress Olivia Wilde.

Okay, here's my top 20 for the 00's:
Cee-Lo: Cee-Lo Green and His Perfect Imperfections Cee-Lo: Cee-Lo Green... Is the Soul Machine Pole: Steingarten AZ: Aziatic Eve: Eve-olution M.O.P.: Warriorz Dead Prez: Let's Get Free Cannibal Ox: The Cold Vein Two Lone Swordsmen: Tiny Reminders Readymade: Bold Allou: Allou Burnt Friedman & The Nu Dub Players: Can't Cool Cheikha Rimitti: N'ta Goudami Readymade: Bold Asa: Terveisiä kaaoksesta 310: After All Nas: God's Son Monolake: Cinemascope Wu-Tang Clan: The W S.I. Futures: The Mission Statement
Generally I wanted to include only one album per artist, but I just couldn't choose between the two great Cee-Lo LPs, so I had to include them both.

Wow, I didn't actually expect a top 100 list, thanks blueski. Did you compile it just now? I hadn't thought about Senor Coconut in years, will have to dig some up. Need to re-listen to Mylo again, as I don't remember anything from the album. Tuomas, you may be the one who I learned about Asa from, it was one of my favorites that year.
At least there's now a few posts with substance amidst the 2kool4skool posturing. Nothing wrong with questioning people's picks, but to do it so snidely without laying your own out for scrutiny seems a bit weaselish. Care to share, J0rdan and Rev?

That's because you are what 12 years old. It's snide. If you wanted to be snide, good on you, but pretending it's not is naive.

okay I dunno about a hundred, or even a twenty (honestly I feel like there must be so many 'best' albums I just haven't heard, in other genres, or circles of influence still to be involved in... still to discover, despite all I have heard & liked, but loved? really, really loved? hmmm.
without hesitation I would save in a housefire...
Kate Bush - Aerial Björk - Vespertine Ellen Allien - Berlinette Ricardo Villalobos - Alcachofa Melt-Banana - Cell-scape
