Top 100 Music Albums of the 2000s
by Torchlin

Ah good ol' 00s, nothing beats it.
The decade I started following online publications and online sites to discover new music. At the same time I really started getting into different styles of electronic dance music, subsequently it shouldn't be suppressing to see a lot of mix albums and label compilations.
Also nostalgia is a bitch so this list will include some albums I loved when I was younger and still love. Besides there should be no reason to be ashamed of our music past.

Some things I like to point out!
Shiina Ringo > your favourite band or artist, whoever that is.
No, I didn't forget Funeral, but thanks for reminding me! ;-)

So according to Ms Shiina, semen smells like chlorine and chestnut flowers. I don't know, you have to be quite desperate to do it with a chestnut flower but hey, to each their own. [First added to this chart: 04/11/2013]

Damn these youngsters with their blips and blops and whatever. Back in my day, music used to have hummable melodies and guitar solos and that all we really needed. That and the hookers! [First added to this chart: 03/02/2014]
