Good call on Fever to Tell, I was going to shove that in near the end but was just nudged out.

Best thing was Karen O broke her leg before a gig I was meant to go to on that tour from falling off stage, yet about 2 months later they had it rescheduled. RESPECT FOR HER.

ALSO, just noticed No Wow by the Kills, I used to love that album a few years ago, Rodeo Town, Love is a Deserter, Good Ones are all amazing tracks.

....I don't have a large enough personal music collection to even be able to discern favorite albums by eras. But...I DO know of a few specific albums that did kick me out of my teenybopping rut that were from the aughts (in no particular order):

The Strokes - Is This It
Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights
The White Stripes - Elephant
BRMC - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
The Futureheads - The Futureheads
Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand
Tahiti 80 - Wallpaper For The Soul
Cornelius - Point
Bright Eyes - Lifted or The Story is in The Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground

There are more, duhh, but those are about ten personally significant albums to me. They all were real level-ups, if you know what I mean.

Relevant to the topic at hand, I somehow managed to pick a top 15 for each year of the 2000s over yonder at my music blog!: www.afutureinnoise.com/2009/12/favorite-albums-of-2000s.html

And, less lengthy, just the #1 for each year:
2009 The Horrors - Primary Colours
2008 thenewno2 - You Are Here
2007 Chromatics - Night Drive
2006 Adam Green - Jacket Full of Danger
2005 Gorillaz - Demon Days
2004 Death From Above 1979 - You're a Woman, I'm a Machine
2003 Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever to Tell
2002 The Libertines - Up the Bracket
2001 The Strokes - Is This It
2000 The White Stripes - De Stijl

[subrosa]

That's a good list! Though...I can't say I've heard all of Adam Green nor the Gorillaz albums and I've no idea who Chromatics are (should I know them??)...but yeah!

And you totally put Dhani Harrison's band there...*hoomayfurghingawd* I should turn in my Harrison Whore membership card, because I've only heard two songs from them--tops. It's shameful.

As for my list...I should probably swap out Tahiti 80's Wallpaper For The Soul w/ Puzzle. THAT one was the album that really kicked me into them (but I won't 'cos I'm not exactly sure when that was released...I'm too lazy to look right now.)

[differentclass]

First ten albums released in the past decade that came to mind. I could never pick an order, so alphabetical (according to band);

Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not
Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare
Babyshambles - Down In Albion
The Courteeners - St Jude
Gorillaz - Demon Days
Jarvis Cocker - Jarvis
The King Blues - Under The Fog
The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age Of The Understatement
The Libertines - The Libertines
Pulp - We Love Life

[Kailey]

Ooh I'm glad to see We Love Life on your list - I thought that album was really good and it seems most people just dismiss it ;_;
