[Gargamel]

Snow Patrol - Final Straw

The Killers - Hot Fuss

[JayKaybi]

King Of Leon - Only By The Night
Green Day - American Idiot
Biffy Clyro - Blackened Sky
The Darkness - Permission To Land


... to name but a few noteworthy inclusions (albeit all for different reasons)

[Floor Tom]

I think that Tool - 10000 Days should be in there somewhere.

[Spokey]

A more damning indictment of the last 10 years in music would be hard to find.

Hardly. At least they're proper bands. If it comprised of s club 7, westlife and all that ste then I'd agree with you.

[pokethepope]

Killers - Hot Fuss

Kings of Leon - OBTN

Foals - Antidotes

[mft]

Hmmm... I usually listen to stuff from well before the noughties.

The Killers - Hot Fuss

+1 - was going to be my first choice!

Damien Rice - O
Live in Gdansk - David Gilmour (bit of a cheat, I know )
Radiohead - Kid A, In Rainbows

[timlongs]

Daisy - Brand New
The Devil and God are raging inside me - Brand New
Final Straw - Snow Patrol
Silent Alarm - Bloc Party
Aha Shake Heartbreak - Kings of Leon
Origin of Symmetry - Muse


ETA - 100% agree with Damien Rice - O too.

I like that album a lot

[central]

Orbital - The Blue Album.

[KaraK]

In no real order:

Snow Patrol - Final Straw
Metallica - S&M (released on the 23rd November 1999 so it JUST fits!)
Feeder - Echo Park
Foo Fighters - In Your Honor
Sunna - One Minute Science
Linkin Park - Meteora
Green Day - American Idiot
Bloc Party - A Weekend in the City
Kings of Leon - Only by the Night
Muse - Black Holes and Revelations

[james_gt3rs]

Megadeth - Endgame
Megadeth - United Abominations
Judas Priest - Angel of Retribution
Metallica - Death Magnetic

Cheating I know...

[qube_TA]

A quick top 10, in no order.

Chroma Key - You Go Now
The Album Leaf - In a Safe Place
God Is An Astronaut - All is Silent, All is Bright
Saxon Shore - Four Months of Darkness
Klaus Schulze - Kontinuum
Ludovico Einaudi - Divenire
Japancakes - If I Could See Dallas
This Will Destroy You - Young Mountain
Oblong - Indicator
Maps + Diagrams - Polytuft-Tech

I think this decade has been very good for music, far better than the 90's. As always though the good stuff has to be searched for.

[KB_S1]

Need to give this some though but in my top 10 that is not included there would have to be:

Ray LaMontagne - Trouble
The Gorillaz - Demon Days

[Dick Dastardly]

Don't have time to make a proper 20 list but it would certainly include some Audioslave, Mogwai, Oceansize, Ryan Adams and Sigur Ros.

[The Hypno-Toad]

All three of The Delays albums.
All three of Lemon Jelly's albums.
Audioslave - Audioslave.
Aimee Mann - The Forgotten Arm.
Aimee Mann - Lost In Space.

[V8mate]

Surely Oracular Spectacular by MGMT should be in the top 20?

One of the best albums I've heard for years.

[Hub]

A top 20 from me would probably include:

Oceansize - Frames
Doves - Lost Souls
Radiohead - Kid A
Death Cab For Cutie - Plans
Boards of Canada - Geogaddi
Ulrich Schnauss - A Strangely Isolated Place
The Music - The Music
Keane - Hopes and Fears
John Mayer - Heavier Things
Sigur Ros - ( )
Snow Patrol - Final Straw
Idlewild - 100 Broken Windows
Daft Punk - Discovery
M83 - Before The Dawn Heals Us
