lol ....... wow ! ....... this list doesn't look like an oughties one, it's more a 90's nostalgic list. Now it's clear , you aren't really found of the 2000s music !!
Now, whereas there IS some 2000s music I like quite a lot, the decade on the whole doesn't hold a candle to the 90s. It was the most diverse decade for rock music in the last 30 years thanks to the brief wave of popularity of "alternative" rock. To be honest, a lot of the bands I see mentioned again and again as the "great" bands of the 2000s by some of you I find to be pretty mediocre (at best). There's exceptions, but on the whole... _________________ <(: @ >
1. Huey Lewis & The News - Walking On A Thin Line
2. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Carry On
3. Journey - Anyway You Want It
4. Gino Vannelli - Sally (She Says The Sweetest Things)

6. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
7. Pink Floyd - Speak To Me (Breathe)

i agree that the 90s was a great era, actually my favorite after the 2000s... i'm not pretending that the 2000s is the best decade, it's just the decade from where i've listened to more music.
but when i see what you consider the best of the 2000s (from your chart), i understand that the 2000s aren't that great for you. Keane - Hopes And Fears, the best album of the 2000s... i've a serious doubt about that .... .
Placebo better than all what produced Radiohead, the strokes, white stripes, arcade fire, animal collective, LCD Soundsystem in the 2000s, i just can't conceive that.

To each his own...I just can't conceive of what people consider "good" these days. The lyrics to me seem insipid and the music not all that well arranged/composed. As I said, there's been exceptions.
And yeah, I think Keane has done it best (and just that one album) in the 2000's. I love Franz Ferdinand's music, but consider it "fun" music. Same with Kaiser Chiefs. Placebo certainly has been better than Radiohead's releases in this decade with far more cohesive albums. It took me a long time to like Kid A at all, and parts of it I still consider garbage - I haven't heard Hail To the Thief, but In Rainbows I consider just so much noise. Indeed, went to a Radiohead show when they were promoting In Rainbows, and at least half of the songs they played were ones from later albums that I didn't know, and I really just did not like any of them. By contrast I liked The Bends and most of OK Computer on the first listen - and mind you, Radiohead wasn't the "it" band back then. Smashing Pumpkins was, but I also liked them before that, and when they started experimenting with electronic music to cover up Chamberlain's departure for Adore and Machina, I really didn't like those albums much. There's a few songs on each that are okay, and some very good ones on Adore, but there's also a lot of "blablablabla".
Anyway, I'm not trying to change your opinion, just pointing out that some of us are as opinionated about your music as you are about 1234567890's and mine, so please stop trying to act superior and pretentious. Now excuse me, I see that I have a new comment and rating on my chart, and I imagine it's you dissing my choices, so I'm going to check on that
EDIT: Why don't you come up with a list of must-listen 2000s albums for me and shoot me a PM. I've been using grooveshark to listen to a lot of albums lately and am willing to "hear" your arguments Just no White Stripes or Strokes or any of those type bands. I hated their style and their singers. And despite the overall 2000s list, I'm not going to consider Kid A as anything more than a "good" album and not top-50 material, and In Rainbows I've listened to and don't want to again. _________________ <(: @ >
