Happy to know I made people interested!!!!! 😁

I'm still sad they didn't play this song when I saw them live (otherwise it was absolutely fantastic)

I liked Dear Science more than Cookie Mountain - but alas, haven't listened to Young Liars or Desperate Youth yet. Both are on my to-listen list, though...

I'm a fan, so I can't help but love everything they do, but on albums the after cookie mountain they got rid of most of their noise guitars, further toned down the doo-wop and barbershop influences, its less exciting and reveals that under the cool arrangements they are writing very simple songs, the early stuff on the other hand is so unpredictable. This is one of the greatest songs ever:

That was quite delicious, my curiosity is peaked!

Wow mine too, that is one of those songs that could last 3 hours and I wouldnt get tired, it's just comforting to listen that kindda noise guitar riff in the back.

Return To Cookie Mountain > Dear Science.

I never understood Dear Science to be honest 😐 . Nine Types of Light is also an ok release by them. Young Liars And Desperate Youth is probably a second best for them 😄

Thanks for your post, because my post got slammed and what you said basically backs up what I am trying to say. All of your albums are from the UK- only Hot Fuss is American and is the least best on the list. America has lost its love for Rock/Alternative/Punk and favors electronic/hip-hop/dance music.

LCD Sound System's Sounds of Silver might be in the top ten as well. Especially from bands that are mostly from the 2000s. I think the Foo Fighters and Red Hot Chili Peppers did some great work in the 2000s, but are not bands from the 2000s.

Well I think the following might become classics:
Elephant - The White Stripes
Is This It- The Strokes
I don't know which one - Tv on the Radio

Those three are more alike to become classics than Hot Fuss i think, all of them american.

But, my immaturaties aside, what's so bad about America favouring electronic/hip-hop/dance or indie?

I would agree that the medium of the album has been questioned throughout the 2000s. I think the albums you listed would be on my top 10 of the 2000s. I also think it is great that a rock band like Coldplay can actually sell CDs. I was starting to be afraid that because no one is buying music anymore that anything good would not be that accessible. Not that Coldplay are the saviors of Rock, but it is amazing how many albums they sold in the 2000s, considering so few people buy music now.

For me, if an artist worth their salt, they have to be able to create a holistic album. If not, they are mere one hit wonders. And if they have more than one hit, they are repeat one hit wonders.

Some of the albums mentioned do come to mind as key albums for the 2000s but I guess the personal idea of a classic or iconic album is just that: personal. These are only 5 albums that I believe but I agree with Eminem's Marshall Mathers and White Stripes' Elephant as others alongside my selections (even though I don't listen to much Eminem)

I guess my definition of a classic album is one which all the tracks are memorable, it takes the listener on a journey and it signifies a point in history (eg. Dark Side, Disintegration, OK Computer). To me, Muse's Absolution is one to look back on. Maybe we can't decide since it is only a few years after the release of some of these albums and it may take a decade to cement its place in history.

I think I am blabbling but to me, these are iconic and classic albums that I will always remember. I know Elbow's Seldom Seen Kid is not popular, even well known, but for me it is a signifcant album in British music. I can't pinpoint the reason but it is just a good album.

Others I have thought of:

The Presets - Apocalypso - for Australian music, this is a turningpoint for dance music in the popular spectrum.
Robert Plan & Alison Krauss - Raising Sand - one of the only collaboration albums I have but it didn't win a Grammy and other accolades for nothing.
Gorillaz - Gorillaz - my first real album that I could not stop listening to but this showed a change in how old icons become new again and the first real cartoon band with success!

It is an insult to compare Green Day to Boston or even G'N'R. Those bands hardly changed at all stylistically (Especially Boston, my word they sound the same on every song) I think Green Day will be remembered for their massive breakthrough Dookie, but more so for the amount of ambition they put into their records in a time of commerciality in music. It is clear they are not a speck on the map of music history.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Green is the greatest band EVAR, or even this decade (that is a tie between Eminem and Radiohead), but people seem to think that beacause they fare better than acts like Muse, they ought to be stoned.

Phew, let me get off my soap box now

5. The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place by Explosions in the Sky
4. Funeral by Arcade Fire
3. Is This It by The Strokes
2. Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
1. In Rainbows by Radiohead

I think I have more 2000's music than any other decade to be honest 😲

Arcade Fire-Funeral
TV on the Radio-Dear Science
Eminem-Marshall Mathers LP
The Strokes-Is This It
Radiohead-In Rainbows
Animal Collective-Merriweather Post Pavillion
Nas-Untitled
Animal Collective-Strawberry Jam
Coldplay-Parachuttes
Muse-Absolution
The Libertines-Up the Bracket
Arcade Fire-Neon Bible
White Stripes-Elephant
Coldplay-Viva La Vida
Arctic Monkeys-Whatever People Say I Am...
Muse-Black Holes and Revelations
Radiohead-Kid A
Animal Collective-Water Curses

Green Day is a pop band that will be fairly insignificant in the grand scheme of rock music, like Boston or Guns N' Roses.
