Post subject: Best Year For Music- Round 1-Part 5: The 2000's
We only have one more full decade to debate. We'll be doing the 2010's but only up through 2017 of course. The poll for the 90's was a lot of fun and of course featured phenomenal discussion. The top 3 in the poll were 1991, 1994, and 1997.
Just A Reminder
I started this series of polls for a couple reasons, one being to of course continue to receive quality recommendations for artists and years I'm not as familiar with. The other to get a more concrete way to view the greatest years through a collective vote. After this poll and the 2010's poll, all of the top vote getters will move to one poll, and then possibly a final poll after that for the top 3 or 5. I want to see how many votes 1967 will get when pit against 1971 or 1994, just for example. Overall, I aimed for this to be a fun and interactive thread and it has been. Thanks to you all once again for participating! I'm continually amazed by all of your knowledge and insight.

Will three years from the current decade also move on? Should it be two?
Anyway, the 2000s. This is the only poll I can claim to be to have been there and experienced the music firsthand. Yeah I was alive in the 90s, but too young to care about the music scene.
Easily 2001 for me. White Blood Cells, Toxicity, Bleed American, The Green Album, Morning View, Amnesiac, Shangri-La Dee Da, Origin of Symmetry, Is This It. I love 2001.
This masterpiece appears on only 17 charts on the whole web site. Too bad Pete Yorn's career never reached a wide audience. Nevertheless, his debut album helped make 2001 such a great year for music.

Can't argue with 2001, haven't voted yet, but that was probably going to get my vote, although there are some immaculate records from 2004 as well.
Yes, was thinking that only two from the current decade will move on. _________________ Attention all planets of the solar federation: We have assumed control.
Just as the latter half of the '90s was a down period for me, so that continued through the first part of toe '00s. Some very weak years there. Things started to recover a bit in '04, a bit more in '05, and '06 ended up being my choice for the decade with '09 being a close second.
Here's my top 5, few if any of which are unlikely to overlap with anybody else's.
1. Karmacode - Lacuna Coil; In 2006, the Italian sextet released what is far and away their best effort before or since, perfectly blending alt-metal, nu-metal, progressive metal, and their trademark twin vocals and occasional classical overtones into a seamless masterpiece of many genres. Over a decade later, it still stands as the pinnacle of their catalog and the blending of related musical styles.
2. Metheny/Mehldau - Pat Metheny and Brad Mehldau; Two great masters of modern jazz come together to create a glorious synthesis of melody, harmony, rhythm, and intellectual but also elegant and emotive beauty.
3. Out Louder - Medeski/Martin/Scofield/Wod: Another stellar collaboration of modern jazz giants.
4. Delta Hardware - Charlie Musselwhite; The eclectic blues master digs hardest into his delta blues roots here and totally rips the joint.
5. The Carnegie Hall Concert - The highly regarded modern Jazz pianist rather reinvents himself in this double disc solo set, which ends up being quite compelling.

Like StreetSpirit, the 2000's was when I conciously started listening to music, in my case I would even say mid 2000's, before I was just a teen who listened to pop songs on the radio.
Anyway, 2001 and 2004 are great years, I can understand why people are going for them. I think 2002 is also interesting, combining Coldplay's piano rock, SOAD's nu metal and Springsteen's Rising after 11-S but, in the last moment, I have decided to vote 2007. In my chart, my top 10 albums from the 2000's have 3 from 2007, and though they are all in the prog scene and didn't go mainstream (they are Doomsday Afternoon, Fear of a Blank Planet and Blackfield II) I enjoy them very much, so there goes my vote.
As of now. It's 2001. Probably my favorite year of this decade. Even though my top 5 from this decade never came that year, it's has the most I have heard from.
My favourite album of this decade is Radiohead's In Rainbows from 2007. But I cannot vote for a year dependent on just one album so I've gone for 2004, which had many great albums, most of the ones mentioned in the top 10 of 2004 I love. Plus I began volunteering as a DJ on a community radio station that year so music from that year and the 2 years following it brings back wonderful memories. Plus it was a fecund year for music.
My other fave year from this decade is 2000. I would like to see 2004, 2007 and 2000 go through to the next stage.
