Best albums (and tracks) of YOUR favourite albums (and tracks) of the ENTIRE NOUGHTIES: 2000-2009 Ballot Poll Nominations + Campaigning Thread

Er imago I think I just accidentally deleted Big Pimpin' from your Spotify playlist but have added it back in its rightful place...

Karda Estra - Eve
Cardiacs - The Special Garage Concerts

I could nominate the run of six noughties Karda Extra albums but so as not to vote split (LOL) Eve (2001) is the most singular and straight up beautiful.

Could probably lend some noms as I can't rmemeeber a fuckin' thing about this decade.

2/30 (Oh is it 50?)

I was thinking not to merge votes for remixes this time tbh but let's see what people say

I think you should merge, so every song with a notable remix doesn’t have a disadvantage.

'Lemon pepper wings and a freeze cup'

forgot about that song

i don't think the ilx 2000-2004 albums list is going to be particularly representative of this one but here's the albums from its top 100 that haven't been nominated yet - a few pretty surprising omissions so far

19. The Rapture - Echoes (554)
23. The White Stripes - Elephant (517)
33. Le Tigre - Le Tigre (436)
