So far - what has been the best album of this decade (2000-2005)

[LynneSin]

Hands down it has to be "American Idiot" by Green Day. Our children will be listening to that album the way I still listen to Led Zeppelin 2 even though I was only 3 when the album was first released

[puerco-bellies]

1. Green Day American Idiot

Rock Opera's Not just for the Who anymore.

[Guaranteed]

16. I gotta agree. It's great. nt

[Edgewater_Joe]

2. YANKEE HOTEL FOXTROT, Wilco

It captures this decade's sadness and unsettled nature with a hint of hope.

Green Day is in the top five but doesn't have quite the emotional hooks that Wilco has.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

3. Not exactly music for the masses...

but I can't get enuff of The Decemberists' "Picaresque." "American Idiot" is perfect for when I'm at the gym - there's actually a guy who wears an "I Miss Reagan" t-shirt. American Idiot!

[ghostsofgiants]

14. Maybe he's wearing it in an ironic sense...

Bush is so bad that he actually makes people miss Reagan. Then again, maybe not.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

18. Nah...he's one of those Ken Dolls who struts around...

like cock of the walk, reads the Washington Times, and changes the TVs to Faux "News." I'd say "what a cliche," but I guess I'm just as bad in my MoveOn t-shirt and latest copy of The Nation. LOL

[StopTheMorans]

4. are you Billy Joe?

:shrug:

[Fenris]

5. "White Blood Cells" by the White Stripes

[Tempest]

6. The Shins: Oh, Inverted World

And U2's How To Build An Atomic Bomb

[sundog]

7. LynneSin's Greatest Hits Live from Latvia

[LynneSin]

13. Squid and the dead fish Bait's "I'm Sunning for Sundog"

:crazy:

[sundog]

17. Lynne Sinppelin's "I'm Really Mean to Living Squids"

[Spider Jerusalem]

8. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, "Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus".

And Sigur Ros, "Ágætis Byrjun". Compared to these two (or to about ten others I can think of), Green Day aren't in it.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

9. "Lateralus" by Tool

[slutticus]

11. I concur.

And it was Aenima for the 90's.

Hands down.

[dbt]

10. "Doll Revolution" by The Bangles.

tear off your own head...

:loveya:

[ghostsofgiants]

12. The Mars Volta - "De-Loused In The Comatorium"

Or, if you want something a little less experimental, Bright Eyes' "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning". Indie folk and songwriting at its finest.

[warrens]

15. The Real New Fall Album

Followed by Hobosapiens by John Cale and Tepid Peppermint Wonderland by Brian Jonestown Massacre (even if it is greatest hits, sort of).

Edited to get the name RIGHT

[Clintmax]

19. What about Hoobastanks "The Reason"?

:hi:

[Initech]

20. System Of A Down's "Toxicity" gets my vote

I was having a hard time deciding between that, Lateralus, Frances The Mute, and a bunch of others, but I think this is easily the best album from the MTV "nu metal" scene.
