To "rock fans", what is meant to be the canonical, everyone can agree on, album of the decade?

yeah, there's tons of stuff i should have included but spaced on, both shit and shine. 00s decade of rock

whats that coheed song that actually charted a while back?...it sounded kind of like "kashmir", and actually managed to cop some of that song's grandeur, without being crushed by its colossal weight...so thats an accomplishment...

Dave Matthews Band had their big album this decade (Everyday), and if I remember correctly, Dispatch had their big album in 2000? Also, has The Rising been mentioned yet? That seems like a shoe-in for a certain kind of critical rock album list.

Hot Fuss, maybe?

Dave Matthews Band had their big album this decade (Everyday)

What? Under the Table and Dreaming and Crash both sold upwards of 6 million; Everyday sold half that.

Also, I certainly don't travel in jam-band circles, but you're only the second person I've ever heard mention the band Dispatch.

I don't travel in big jam-band circles, but among college-stoners Dispatch has always seemed huge. And you're right. For some reason I blocked out those other DMB albums. I'll admit -- not the hugest college-rock fan.

i skipped the screamo stuff cuz i'm so unfamiliar -- i dunno what's worth a mention. thursday, thrice, taking back sunday? WTF? was kinda into the braid, promise ring, get up kids & hot water music type stuff, but that was late 90s. jimmy eat world bleed american shoulda been on there. maybe cave-in's jupiter. dillinger four? different kinda thing, smaller scale...

and what about coheed? i always wrote em off cuz the whole premise seemed so goofy, but i was listening to some tracks tonight and kinda dug em. goofy as hell, but in a way that reminds me of the rush/BOC sci-fi stuff i used to dork out on as a kid. singer even sounds like geddy. what's the best place to start?

Sadly, the answer is teh chilly pepperz.

sadly, that is some bullshit

If it's RHCP, it's By the Way. Wasn't Californication in the late 90s?

nah

well yeah

but 1999, impact was in the 00s

if yr gonna rope in the late 90s (which seems reasonable), you might as well say the soft bulletin

Or Play? That seems like a precursor for a lot of 00's music (though maybe not 00's "rock" music).

Let's just throw in the first Gay Dad album and be done with it.

The more I think about it, the more I think All That You Can't Leave Behind might take this. Or The Rising. Betcha they both show up top 10 on any RS top albums of the decade list.

God, what got worse? ILM or music?

Both are FANT!

^^^ all that you can't leave behind is another that i meant, somewhere in the back of my mind, to include in that decade list, but spaced on. and play's a good 99 suggestion, though more for crossover-to-rock (influence on rock?) than as a rock record. shit, "southside" alone. though it's lower-level, commercially speaking, the self-titled le tigre record is another that seems to have cast a long shadow.

what's the deal with californication though? massive hit, "substantial" in the sense rolling stone likes, but how did it define the 00s of rock?

all i know is that coldplay's ass is still cashing checks that all you can't leave behind wrote...

The more I think about it, the more I think All That You Can't Leave Behind might take this. Or The Rising.

No way. Wrong decade.

^lol

the Coheed song was "welcome Home": great song.

that girl on the strokes cover has a nice side butt

are you so sure it's a girl

The July and August 2001 cover art of Is This It is by Colin Lane and features a photograph of a woman's nude bottom and hip, with a leather-gloved hand suggestively resting on it.[21] The model was later revealed to be Lane's then-girlfriend, who explained that the photoshoot was spontaneous and happened after she came out of the shower naked. Lane recalled that a stylist had left the glove in his apartment and noted, "We did about 10 shots. There was no real inspiration, I was just trying to take a sexy picture."[22] The result was included in the book The Greatest Album Covers of All Time, in which Grant Scott, one of the editors, noted influences from the daring works of Helmut Newton and Guy Bordin in its design. Scott concludes, "It’s either a stylish or graphically strong cover or a sexist Smell the Glove travesty." Although British retail chains HMV and Woolworths objected to the photograph's controversial nature, they stocked the album without amendment.[21]

The group deliberately left out the grammatically correct question mark from the album title because aesthetically, "it did not look right".[23] The booklet insert contains stylized separate portraits of The Strokes, Raphael, Gentles, and Bowersock, all photographed by Lane.[7] For the American market and the October 2001 release, the cover art of Is This It was changed to a microscopic close-up of particle collisions. RCA product manager Dave Gottlieb commented that "it was straight up a band decision", while Gentles indicated that Casablancas had wanted it to appear globally. According to the band's manager, the frontman phoned him before the Japan and Europe release and said, "I found something even cooler than the a ... picture." At the time, the Lane photograph was already at the presses and was included in the July and August 2001 versions.[24] The Strokes' 2003 biography mentions the fear of objections from America's conservative retail industry and right-wing lobby as reasons for the artwork's alteration.[23]

someone played last nite at a wedding reception i was at 30 mins ago.
sounded like it will probably get played at wedding receptions forever. unlike anything on Kid A.

chicken dance: song of the millenium

after she came out of the shower naked.

Ok, yeah it'd been weird if she came out of the shower with those gloves on.

Strong point Jamie. I also think that for any album to be canonical it should withold the test of wedding receptions. Celine Dion is the biggest thing since sliced bread.

But when you touch me like this And you hold me like that I just have to admit that it's all coming back to me

i wrote a lot of things in this thread

precisely the reason why at my wedding I only want songs from Nevermind and OK Computer being played.

But nothing from Loveless! My wedding will be loveful!

If we're talking about "Clear Channel Rock Fan," it's going to be Nickelback. :(

Or probably Dave Matthews...

what a stupid thread

the strokes are useless reactionaries but their choice to change the album cover was a laudable decision.

I didn't even know Americans got a diff'rent strokes cover.

Theres that running Tapes n' Tapes gag! Its like your git-r-done, markers.

sorta, but sorta maybe kick back a bit with that shit dude

got any youtubes about how the gov't is concealing the best ILX threads?

All rock fans like "OK Computer" but that was not an 00s album, and "Kid A" is considerably more controversial amongst rock fans. Dance/electronica fans may prefer "Kid A" though, but they would never list it as their favourite album of the 00s nevertheless.

All rock fans like "OK Computer"

That's not opinion, it's science.

i think 'funeral' is the only canonical agreed-upon album from the 00s that i still like

rock album i mean

actually the real answer to this thread is
