Top 50 albums of the noughties...?

[Flapper]

It's a nice list and all...but Dear Science doesn't deserve to be there. Don't you mean Return To Cookie Mountain?

Dear Science is better than Cookie Mountain.

I really should stop sniping and do my list hey? :lol:

[simmo1]

:lol:

i call bullsh*t. most music that is popular is over rated right?

I agree with this. I don't think you can ever really say that a band is overrated. If people rate it, then who are you to say that they shouldn't?

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

Yeah, Lady Gaga etc.

How does someone that listens to Nile listen to Lady Gaga too?

i dont limit myself to any type of music,i used to in the 90s but as i got older i started to listen to other types of music
i mean its just my opnion if you dont agree fine i dont really care

theres also a lot of bands i left out to like parkway drive and fall out boy earlier stuff

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

Probably not accurate, hard to find everything:

39. IN FLAMES - Soundtrack To Your Escape
9. MEATLOAF - Bat Out Of Hell 3 - The Monster Is Loose

i completely forgot those 2 albums esp the meatloaf one ,that was awesome

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

crack?

:lol: i dont even smoke lol ,no chance of me ever being on crack

hahaha
it is like a random list of records from the 00's.

Damien Rice..woo hoo!! sing you high voiced little irishman.

you actually know who he is ?? suppose i could of shoved all guy sabastian songs in might have made a few of u's happy ,maybe shannon noll

You're an idiot. You're trying to depict us as one of those music elitists - "Oh you're popular so you've sold out."

Nobody ever accused Nirvana of that. They just weren't that good in an era when there were a heap of high quality grunge bands around - soundgarden, Mudhoney, Alice in Chains, Mother Love Bone etc.

That's not to say they weren't important - they were easily the most important grunge band - but they definitely were not the best.

Settle down Joel I'm just giving you sh*t. Take it like a man.

Just pointing out that you obviously listen to Nile and recognise the quality, yet can then turn around and listen to the extreme ordinariness of Lady Gaga.

Not judging, just curious.

Good list.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

what a sh*thouse list. LOL at the people who bought oe of those albums haha

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Like any list, it's never going to hit the mark for everyone... but sometimes the discussion they create is worth it.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/nov/17/nme-top-albums-decade-noughties

This is the NME's list for the decade - favours UK and US artists, but we got one Oz album in there at 45. I've put the ones that have made it into my collection in bold... not a lot. :sarcasm:



Thoughts about their list? Comments? Recommendations? Omissions? Other lists as they are published?

ok, i've changed my mind - great list!!

 

[ElectricEelMan]

Nice list Eel Man... I've got a few more of them myself, but there's still plenty of others there that I'll have to check out.

James are very underrated.

James are grossly underrated. Great band.

 

[ElectricEelMan]

It's a nice list and all...but Dear Science doesn't deserve to be there. Don't you mean Return To Cookie Mountain?

In MY opinion Dear Science deserves to be there
In MY opinion Dear Science is better than Return To Cookie Mountain
In MY opinion

Return to Cookie Mountain made me mildly interested in TV on the Radio
Dear, Science made me extremely interested in TV on the Radio

 

[pennywisealfie]

ugh too much indie rock in this thread. Makes me pine for HeavyDevy to make a metal dominated list.

 

[Red Bear]

Albums i own released in 2000 or afterwards
Frenzal Rhomb - Shut Your Mouth, Forever Malcolm Young, Sans Souci
NOFX - Pump Up The Valuum, War On Errorism, Wolves in Wolves Clothing, Coaster
Bad Religion - New Maps Of Hell, Empire Strikes First
TISM - The White Album
The Living End - Roll On, Modern ARTillery, State Of Emergency, White Noise
Rancid - Indestructable
Rise Against - The Unravelling, Revolutions Per Minute, Siren Song, Suffer and the Witness
Strung Out - Live in a Dive
Dropkick Murphys - Sing Loud Sing Proud, Live on St Patricks Day, Warriors Code, State of Massachussets

Ive purchased a sh*tload more albums than that but many of them were from previous decades

Favourite cd's from that period are probably Live on St Patricks Day, Forever Malcolm Young, Revolutions Per Minute, Roll On, Empire Strikes First and Pump up the Valuum

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

lol i cant believe i left out that nofx album pump up the vallum
also the rise against albums :shock:
i think i may have left out the 3rd killswitch album too,which is probley one of my most listen to

Jesus...precious about your opinion much?

Just about everyone else worldwide disagrees with you. There is no song better or more interesting on Dear Science than Wolf Like Me, I Was A Lover or Hours. Dear Science was a nice experiment, but not a patch on Cookie Mountain or Desperate Youth.

But good for you. Hope you and your opinion are happy together. If you are so passionate about your opinion how about discussing and debating it rather than acting like a prat.

So...while we're at it, you have the wrong Spoon and Shins albums there, but Arcade Fire definitely deserve their places.

Dude calm down there. You are the one saying MY opinion is wrong. I am just pointing out it is MY opinion, not yours. Do you understand?

And then you go down the same road again suggesting MY opinion is wrong. You do realize someones opinion on lists such as this can never be wrong cause they ARE THEIR OWN OPINIONS!

You are the very definition of a pretentious wanker!

Btw,

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/tv_on_the_radio

Return to Cookie Mountain 3.74
Dear Science 3.70

Not much difference amongst thousands of voters

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/spoon

Gimme Fiction 3.74
Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga 3.70

Again not much difference amongst thousands of voters

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/the_shins

Look there is a difference here between the albums but I am not a sheep like you and follow the crowds opinions. I can form MY OWN OPINION!

Get over yourself you pretentious wanker!

 

[Alex28]

LOL...don't know much about the art of debate do you?

The Spoon album I was referring to was Kill The Moonlight, not the two mediocre follow-ups. I follow no one's opinions - I have my own and am more than prepared to defend it.

Try defending your opinion rather than lightweight name calling
