Best/your favourite 21st century albums

[Kiki]

Bruce Springsteen - The Rising is one of the best by an artist who established themselves well before the 21st Century.

[Le_Samurai]

Well, here's a list of what I consider to be the best since 2000

1. Since I Left You The Avalanches
2. Discovery Daft Punk
3. Is This It The Strokes
4. Turn on the Bright Lights Interpol
5. Sound of Silver LCD Soundsystem
6. The Blueprint Jay-Z
7. Original Pirate Material The Streets
8. Silent Shout The Knife
9. Plastic Beach Gorillaz
10.Up the Bracket The Libertines

For best bands/Artists, I would have to say Radiohead, Jay-Z, LCD Soundsystem, and Spoon.
