Best of Decade (2000s) Album Lists

can't believe you posted a list of norwegian albums that doesn't have ulver on it

John Justen arranged it so that Dan couldn't catch him out again.

Enjoying the Maximum Rocknroll staff decade Top Tens. Aside from the Observers and Dillinger Four, I don't recognize much outside of what eventually went to Matador and Sub Pop--Fucked Up, Jay Reatard, Pissed Jeans (none of which I'm a huge fan of, but I buy the idea that they made better recordings earlier).

:D

i wouldn't argue with your top three at all

Loving these lists, especially to see the intersections and disagreements with my own. Closest so far is Whiney's, kind of surprising I guess but maybe not. All I can think of are the albums that didn't make it onto the list that really really should have.

^ interesting. i'm brazilian living in france, so this might explain, but the inclusion of daniela, itiberê, heloísa mixed with the-dream/cannibal ox/shakira got me pumpin

Yeah and I also put on Cris Aflalo, Virginia Rodrigues, Trio Mocotó, Caetano, Gil, and a bunch of others, just ran out of room for Brazilians. Glad you liked it!

Resident Advisor Top 100 albums of the '00s:

http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature.aspx?1144

Albums per year on the RA list:

2000 : 9
2001 : 12
2002: 14
2003 : 8
2004 : 4
2005 : 7
2006 : 15
2007 : 14
2008 : 13
2009 : 4

Interesting to me, and it seems about right in terms of what I remember about electronic music in those years.

And, obv., in terms of what RA champions. (Not talking about my own tastes here so much.)

not sure i'll ever come round to Alcahofa

pretty dope that they waited until after the decade was over imo

another late entry http://www.cokemachineglow.com/feature/5204/top100albums-2000s?pg=1

looooooool @ Wolf Parade at #5

Flipping through the list... kudos for including Joy Shapes, The Drift, Vocalcity, Laulu Laakson Kukista, Aaliyah, Endless Summer, Berlinette, Pop, Tronic, The Tired Sounds of..., This Bliss, Beauty and the Beat, Saint Dymphna, Lisbon (#26!!), Donuts, New Amerykah... these are all excellent and I'd like to see them more consistently on decade-end lists.

Kid A at #7 sounds about right.

New Amerykah at #4 is excellent, and the top 5 looks really solid... except for, uh, Wolf Parade.

wolf parade at #4 > > > Arcade Fire at #2 on Pitchfork

word

I'm not a big Arcade Fire fan but that's delusional.

I was making carrot cake when I realized that. I put bourbon in my cream cheese icing to make it less cheesy; the Avalanches somehow strike the same balance and avoid a slight half-step left to cheese-stache purgatory.

i guess j0rdan and i are delusional--oh well.

Arcade Fire can lick the right nut.

the my

challenging opinion, that

What can ya do?

New Amerykah at #4 is excellent,

^this

i hate the cannibal ox album (#3)

94 :: Fire Show - Saint the Fire Show (Perishable; 2002)

Awesome, I loved the Fire Show! Saw them open for Dalek and Eleventh Dream Day and one headline gig, then they split.

72 :: OOIOO - Armonico Hewa (Avex/Thrill Jockey; 2009)

Nice one, this album didn't get enough love.

Waiting a few months after the end of the decade was a good idea, one of the more interesting lists, though I don't care for the top 6.

now that we have 10 years of perspective on it, what musician / artist / band had the best recorded catalog of the 2000s (i.e. releases between 1/1/00 and 12/31/09)?

There's a few but I still want to say Oneida
