Right, right.

This won't be the first thread or the last you read about this but I think this is something well worth banging on about. I though if I started this thread now then I'd have one less thing to worry about.

Or is that one fewer thing?

Less.. must be. Anyway, here are some possibles for the best albums from Jan 2000 to Dec 2009, subject to brilliant late releases this year. And there are bound to be some more.

Some early thoughts from me

Midlake - the Trials of van Occupanther
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
The National - Boxer.
Shins - Chutes Too Narrow


And I clearly need to go away and think about this some more because all of those are American. You can suggest as many as you like, and post as many times as you like. I'm just hoping for a big long list that maybe we can work into some shows towards the end of the year.

Please don't forget that Wierd Al Yankovic released records in this decade.

hmmm...

Off the top of my head

Joe Henry - Tiny Voices
Guillemots - Through the Windowpane
Robyn Hitchcock and the Venus 3 - Ole Tarantula

i need to dredge my memory as it's silted up with layers of memories from the mid 00s.

There's plenty of time. No rush

Damian Jurado - Ghost of David

now, what about the tricky problem of differing release dates? I'd like to nominate...

Calliope - (in)organics

but it was released in 1999 (in the USA) although it didn't hit these shores until 2000.

oops, delete Boards of Canada, Jayhawks and Red House Painters - how time flies! More than 10 years old

I need more time for questions like this, but I feel we need to know what the next decade will be called. The Teenies?

This is hard ... I can remember the 80s quite well, and the 90s definately left an impression, but the last 9.75 years?

Anyway, with help from some 21st century senility-beating technology, some candidates ...

Delgados - The Great Eastern (2000)
Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain (2000)
Joy Zipper - American Whip (2003)
The Cardigans - Super Extra Gravity (2005)
Lemon Jelly - '64 - '95 [2005]
Spoon - Gimme Fiction (2005)
Lambchop - Damaged [2006]
The Besnard Lakes - The Besnard Lakes Are The Dark Horse (2007)
Robert Wyatt - Comicopera (2007)
Goldfrapp - Seventh Tree [2008]

This is Uncut Magazine's T20, in reverse order:-

Back To Black - Amy Winehouse
The Rising - Bruce Springsteen
Aerial - Kate Bush
Elephant - The White Stripes
Sound Of Silver - LCD Soundsystem
In Rainbows - Radiohead
XTRMNTR - Primal Scream
Time (The Revelator) - Gillian Welch
Third - Portishead
Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots - The Flaming Lips
Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
Heartbreaker - Ryan Adams
Modern Times - Bob Dylan
Funeral - Arcade Fire
Raising Sand - Robert Plant and Alison Krauss
Is This It - The Strokes
Smile - Brian Wilson
A Ghost Is Born - Wilco
Love and Theft - Bob Dylan
White Blood Cells - The White Stripes

This is my list and I'm sure I'll change my mind about some as I go along and there's probably plenty more I could add as well


Gutter Twins - Saturnalia
Howling Bells – Howling Bells
Porcupine Tree – In Absentia
Skinny – Taller
Sneaker Pimps- Bloodsport
I AM X – Kiss and Swallow
Elbow – Leaders of the Free World
Jose Gonzales – Veneer
Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise
Satellite Party – Ultra Payloaded
Unkle – War Stories

Hummm - Rush albums from this decade! I'll have to check Myspace out for them..........

I really liked the new one by Echo and the Bunnymen, but am otherwise racking my brains as to what montages I have liked on Round Table...

If I say Dinosaur Junior, I need to add that, if I heard something by a young band that I really liked and remembered, I'd say that...
