[OssMan]

Don't know if I'd pick 10 and I hate this cause there's still 2009. But #1 is Modest Mouse's The Moon and Antarctica

[Indifferent Clox]

That is clearly number 14

[Triple A]

I don't know. This is mad hard. But these are 10 albums I really like.

Arcade Fire - Funeral
Bright Eyes - Lifted Or The Story Is In The Soil, Keep Your Ear To The Ground
Of Montreal - Aldhils Arboretum
The Postal Service - Give Up
Rilo Kiley - The Execution Of All Things
Saves the Day - In Reverie
Say Anything - ...Is A Real Boy
The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
The Strokes - Is This It
The Unicorns - Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone

[Kane86]

Artsy rock bullshit

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

If Tool's "Lateralus" isn't on your list, then that list is void.

Anyways, I don't think there has been 10 albums this decade that have really impressed me. Maybe 4-5...stretching to six, but 10, nah.

[Requiem]

NIN - Year Zero
NIN - With Teeth
Tool - Lateralus
Modest Mouse - Moon & Antarctica
Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank
Muse - Origin of Symmetry
Radiohead - Kid A

Past that, I don't know.. Those are the major albums that stood out for me, but I know there are more albums from 00+ that I definitely thought were amazing.

[ron the dial]

the appleseed cast - low level owl, vols. 1 & 2
brand new - deja entendu
broken social scene - you forgot it in people
cursive - the ugly organ
HORSE the band - the mechanical hand
radiohead - in rainbows
sonic youth - rather ripped (got another one coming out this year!)
marnie stern - this is it and i am it and you are it and so is that and he is it and she is it and it is it and that is that (my wildcard)
sufjan stevens - illinois
xiu xiu - fabulous muscles

somthing like that. it's just so hard to narrow down.

[CSL]

cKy - Volume One (Released in '99 but it's 2009 so fuck it)
cKy - Infiltrate. Destroy. Rebuild.
Fightstar - They Liked You Better When You Were Dead (US Album version)
HIM - Razorblade Romance
Raine Maida - The Hunters Lullaby
Turbonegro - Scandinavian Leather

There's probably some greatest hits/compilation albums that were released that could fill the rest

[IC Champion]

No Jay-Z's Blueprint? FTW. You queers no nothing of good music.

[Requiem]

actually yeah, I would put In Rainbows on that list. It was pretty amazing.

[WestNZ]

to be honest, nothing since about 1995 or so has impressed me, so i cant get 10. only one i could think of really would be maybe Iron Maiden's CD Brave New World.

[Kapoutman]

IAM - Revoir Un Printemps
The Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
Sage Francis - A Healthy Distrust
MC Solaar - Cinquième As
Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul

+ many others

[MVP]

I'll get back to this

[Fox]

Agreed with all posted above. Believe that Dr. Dre's "2001" as well as Eminem's "The Marshall Mathers LP" should be included also.

[Tazz Dan]

How the fuck has Green Days American Idiot not made anyones lists???

[Fabien Barthez]

Because it's fucking shite.



De-Loused and Goliath by Mars Volta are probably my 2 favourite albums of the last 10 years.

Dre 2001 is deffinately my favourite hip hop album for sure. The second KOL record is awesome. Up The Bracket by the Libertines is a favourite of mine. Songs For The Deaf by QOTSA. Elephant by White Stripes.

Thats 7. So I am well on the way.

[Cooler Tom Schuler]

Bob Dylan - Modern Times
Paul McCartney - Chaos and Creation in the Back Yard
Gorrilaz - Demon Days

[Tazz Dan]

Really Assman, a neg rep for that?

Is the cool thing around here still to like obscure bands that limited people have heard of? Keep in mind I'm talking world wide here, I could easily pick a bunch of Australian Indy bands and think I'm cool because I've heard of them too. I think I'll just make my way out of the music forum again.... :nono:

[Requiem]

Assman negs people who like things he doesn't, or dislike things he does. Just reference anyone who's ever dissed his precious Nintendo Wii (which is a piece of shit system). He'll get over it.

But seriously, Green Day is crap now. :shifty:

[ron the dial]

even if i were attempting to make a more mainstream friendly top 10, american idiot wouldn't touch it. not because it's bad, but because it's not that good. hell, green day have put out better albums than that one.

[Tazz Dan]

Nah that's cool guys, thanks for the heads up. I'll just make sure next time I do a top whatever list I'll PM you all to get approval so I don't make the silly mistake of posting something I personally enjoyed. :y:

Oh, and WeX, I know they've realeased some great shit over the years, but not during the 00 period.

[Tazz Dan]

And before anybody jumps down my throat, I'm not critisizing anyones choices here. We're all entitled to our personal favourites aren't we?

[Juan]

AFI - The Art of Drowning
Daft Punk - Discovery
No Doubt - Return of Saturn
Son of Sam - Songs from the Earth
Atreyu - Suicide Notes And Butterfly Kisses
Thrice - The Illusion of Safety
Avenged Sevenfold - Waking the Fallen
Bayside - Sirens and Condolences
Bullet for My Valentine - The Poison
Killswitch Engage - The End of Heartache
Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends

I went over 10 and I still left out out some great albums :-\

[Vastardikai]

At the Drive-in: Relationship of Command
Down: II
The Melvins: Hostile Ambient Takeover
Clutch: Robot Hive/Exodus
Corrosion of Conformity: In the Arms of God
Jack Johnson: In Between Dreams
Kreator: Violent Revolution

[OssMan]

You like bad music so I negative reputationed you for it, because I think people who like bad music should have a negative reputation

[IC Champion]

You don't think often, do you?

[OssMan]

I see you are BigDaddyCool Approved. I would love to be BigDaddyCool Approved.

[Tazz Dan]

So wait. You're saying I can neg rep you back because I think you like bad music? Not that I would becuase I'm not a cunt like some people, obviously :D

That's a terrible fucking list you piece of shit

[Triple A]

Why would anyone even try to post a "top 10 albums" objectively? That is a retarded concept. Everyone is just posting their favorite 10 albums, as they should. Saying things like "I can't believe ____ is not on your lists!" is COME ON

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Tool - Lateralus
Deftones - Deftones
Down - Down II
Regina Spektor - Soviet Kitsch
Rilo Kiley - More Adventurous
Sufjan Stevens - Seven Swans
Whiskeytown - Pneumonia
Nickel Creek - This Side

I'll add two more when others come to mind.

It was more of a suprise thing. The album I mentioned was pretty fucking huge over here, I just assumed it must of been in America also.

I think it was another case of people over analyzing a comment.
