2000-2009 - The Lost Decade?

TWO Bob Dylan albums in their top 10? That pretty much destroys any intelligent analysis I may have given the list.

I know what you mean, the Christmas album should've gotten in there too.

Being honest though, they're two excellent albums. IMO Modern Times is the best in the top ten. But my top ten would be completely different.

Anyone know how this list was made? Did a group of the magazines contributors just vote for albums? The top twenty could definitely do with a re-hash; in particular Amy Wino, LCD Soundsystem and Kate Bush should be out.

Any key?

Kasabian....we're not worthy.

Ray La Montagne

both have kept me very musically satisfied. Therefore 00-09 was anything but a waste.

Oh, the two Dylan albums are indeed great, but it's a bit much to include them both in the TOP 10. It seems to suggest that Dylan was towering over everything this decade with not one, but TWO albums that bested everything outside their top 10

Fair point, my friend. I don't know why, but I'm always curious to see how these lists pan out, even though usually they're a load of balls.

Although i believe their has been some amazing music this decade, so much of it has been from pre-noughties bands.

In the top 20 of that list 15 of the albums' artists were formed in the 20th century, which i think was the OP's point.

Not mad on this 80's revival as much of the poorer articles from that decade's pop, hip-hop, rock & metal is being used. I hope i don't remember this when i look back on the decade, i having a feeling though, i will remember the sheer volume of music and bands around (thank you internet)

My best things to come from 00's;

Pantera's "Reinventing The Steel"
Lamb Of God
Faith No More reunion
Mastodon
Some very good In Flames albums
Damageplan (albeit in sad circumstances, short lived)
Down II: A Bustle In Your Hedgerow/Down III: Over The Under
Couple of Tool albums
Queens Of The Stone Age

But not alot else... The 80's and 90's were full of excellence though, same goes for the 60's and 70's.

a lot of the best stuff i know from the 70/80's was by all accounts a lot harder to come by at the time, john peel and probably somebody else dug through the s***e (and there was as much then as now) in the 70's/80's to find the classics later eulogised in various compilations that people listen to now. do the same in your own time. you lazy etc..

*currently listening to Future of the Left - Travels With Myself and Another* the 00's sound fine to me.
