Albums of the 00's

[rockinthecasbah]

Seeing as it's pretty quiet on here at the moment, thought I'd steal this idea from the V fest forums. Just name your favourite two albums from every year from 2000-2009. Easy as that. I'd imagine there should be a pretty diverse mix amongst the posters on here. Here's mine:

2000

Idlewild- 100 Broken Windows

Elliott Smith- Figure 8

2001

Daft Punk- Discovery

Muse- Origin of Symmetry

2002- Couldn't eliminate any of these.

Patrick Wolf- Lycanthropy

2004

2005

I can't be arsed to come up with albums for everyear, there are to many! however,

IN MY OPINION, so don't get all offended!

There hasn't been anything better than KID A since 2001. not even close!

Edited October 16, 2009 by JameSemajj

[thetime]

Are you saying radiohead have been making not very good albums for the best part of a decade?

[JameSemajj]

not at all... Hail To The Theif, Amnesic and In Rainbows, and not to mention the legendary 'The Eraser' are in my top 10 of all time, fantastic albums (play them everyday!)... It's just KID A for me is just better than everything!

+ I had to rush, so I didn't have time to do the whole thing!
