1. The Killer's - Sam's Town
2. Oasis - Dont believe the truth

My 2 fav albums of the decade.

 

[GC_Gladiator]

My first thought was Coheed and Cambria- Good Apollo I'm burning star iv, Volume 1: From Fear through the eyes of madness. Also could nominate imo Brand New- The Devil and God are Raging inside of me, and Protest the Hero- Fortress. Just the albums i like in my tastes.

My favourite aussie album of the decade would be Karnivool- Themata.

[perverse]

My pick would be between -

Dream Theater - Train of Thought
Opeth - Blackwater Park
In Flames - Reroute to Remain

those 3 were the highlight of the decade for me i think.

 

[DB]

probably will get very flamed for this, but one for me is Get Born by Jet.... just a brilliant rock album, and one that the band are still living in the shadows of.

Some interesting choices there.

You Am I's Dress Me Slowly is a really good record, it's pretty underrated IMO, probably because it's no Hi Fi Way or Hourly Daily. Still, it's got some great songs.

Interesting Ryan Adams choices as well. Gold is great, but Love is Hell? I dunno. I reckon he has done a lot better than that album with a couple of the albums he did with The Cardinals.
