Best album of the 00's

[Karl_b]

So what are they?

 

Some nominations:

 

Bloc Party - Silent Alarm

 

A fantastic album. Brilliant musicians with fantastic lyrics, playing original and wonderful music.

 

Death From Above 1979 - Youre a Woman Im A Machine

 

Dirty, punky, grungy anthems made with a bass, drums and synth. Innovative and brilliant.

 

Up the Bracket - Libertines

 

Once upon a time Doherty and Barat made great music. Raw, loud and clever.

 

 

With more time I could write dozens.

Nominations or albums?!

 

The Zutons - Who Killed The Zutons

Kasabian - Kasabian

[Stu Monty]

Very good call on Bloc Party.

 

I'd add these nominations for the top ten:

 

Turn on the bright lights and Antics by Interpol

Funeral by The Arcade Fire

Never, Never Land by UNKLE

All three recent Sigur Ros albums: Agaetis Byrjun, Untitled, and Takk.

Finally, the Arctic Monkeys debut album.

 

But for me it has to be between 'Kid A' and 'Amnesiac'. When judged independently and not based on how good the previous Radiohead stuff was I think they stand out above anything from the last six years. I also think that in thirty years time Kid A in particular will be still seen to be an outstanding piece of work.

[Michael Howard]

I think the "Best 00's Album in the World Ever" album* will probably be the best

 

 

 

* available for £8.99 for limited period only at selected Tesco stores in time for Christmas 2009

Excellent choices.

 

I'd also nominate The Features - Exhibit A. A great album of poppy-rock tunes, very upbeat and some real gems on there.

[Eldrich]

Arcade Fire - Funeral for me is up there with the best

[Guest TK-421]

I'm still stuck in the 90's.

[Karl_b]

I also think The Strokes - Is This It? has to be in there. It was a huge influence on the changing of the modern rock/pop scene.

[Juniper]

I would have to go for 'Kid A', cracking album, 'Funeral' by Arcade Fire, another cracking album..........and 'Untitled' by Sigur Ros..........................Honest ones for me, not copying Mr Monty.

 

Bloc Party still suck

 

..................And The Lucky Pennies 'Champagne Dreams in Cider Pockets' just because I played on it and it took 3 years to make and cost a few bob and those Monkey attacks at the studio were a bitch.

 

Oh and by the way you can listen to their songs Here :whistle:

[Juniper]

Never got into the hype about that album

 

Lot of filler on it

[Guest TK-421]

The Shins' "Chutes too Narrow" is a good 'un. New LP in January '07, pop pickers.

[Remmie]

Agreed, theirs and Kings of Leon's album seem to have a new style. I know they are top of the pops and fashionable, but they still make excellent music nonetheless. I can't think of anything I have enjoyed more then is this it, hmm was Californications 00s?

Their drummer still pisses all over you Pritchard! ;)

 

There's loads of stuff I really like that I left out because to be the single best album for the last six years is a tough competition. One I just left out of the nominations was Nick Cave with 'Abattoir blues/The lyre of Orpheus'; awesome double album but I just didn't think it had enough to beat a few other albums.

 

Queens of the Stone age would be scrapping to get into the top ten also.

 

Great shout by Remmie on Kings of Leon; thier first album is one of my very favourites.

How did you find that out????? thought only me, him and my local laundrette knew we were........oh right you mean drumming, nah hes mega rubbish (that bad I highlighted it!)

 

Moving on........

[Paco]

[Eldrich]

Almost forgot. Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots - Flaming Lips. Great Album. Great band. Cant wait to see them in Manchester in November.

[Stu Monty]

Keep the thread alive for a few days getting suggestions and then lets get a poll up.

Is this it by the Strokes- end of thread.

 

Anyone who says anything else is just plain wrong.

I'll do the poll Monday lunch time.

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory.

 

Before anyone laughs, I thought it was pretty groundbreaking at the time. Much like The Strokes, they changed a lot of people's thoughts on 'pop' music.

It's a good album, and I own it, but it's not at the same level of quality as a lot of the stuff already mentioned.

[Remmie]

Oh shit the Doves great shout. Don't think any particular 1 stands out though, but easily one of my favourite bands and fantastic live

[Uncle_Meat]

I'm almost embarrassed to admit I cannot think of any really good "mainstream(ish)" albums for this list. However..

 

System of a Down - Hypnotize

The Cure - The Cure

Rammstein - Rosenrot

Radiohead - Hail to the Thief

Ian Brown - Solarized

 

being just few of the more recent albums I've enjoyed.
