Best of Decade (2000s) Album Lists

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

gut instinct says Animal Collective case they meant a lot to me at the time, but I'm having difficulty getting nostalgic for this decade really. the idea of doing the poll is a bit stomach churning

Queens of the Stone Age

what musician / artist / band had the best recorded catalog of the 2000s (i.e. releases between 1/1/00 and 12/31/09)?

Don’t know (and don’t really care) about arguing “best” — but The Fiery Furnaces and Neil Michael Hagerty/The Howling Hex were my favorites.

Broadcast

if I limit it to artists with at least three great albums in the decade the my list would be:

Ghostface
Junior Boys
Lil Wayne (includes mixtapes)
Miranda Lambert
Neko Case
Radiohead
Sleater-Kinney
Spoon
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
The Fiery Furnaces

I wouldn't consider either to be among my all-time favorites but just in terms of sheer number of very good albums released in this arbitrary timeframe my answer might be Neko or Spoon.

Blonde Redhead, but I think Broadcast is the best answer here.

Nina Nastasia showed up, dropped excellent albums for those ten years exploring and expanding a very distinct style, then stopped.

Deerhoof had a great five-album run from 2002's Reveille to 2007's Friend Opportunity. But they also had 3 other albums in the decade that I think are OK at best.

also, i admit grudgingly, Kanye had his 3 best albums, and 808s was influential, at least.

another vote for hey there's a poll in a week or two, we'll find out then ;)

sorry, i didn't realize there was a poll happening

although i assume it will end up producing a list of albums for the decade, right? which is different than what i'm trying to get at. (granted, what i'm getting at is probably easier considered with those poll results on hand.)

school of seven bells

wrong decade
