Produced by Jason Isbell & Patterson Hood. Drive-By Truckers were just a stepping stone for Jason Isbell, and everyone pretty much knew it. You can't keep a songwriter as prolific and as good as Isbell to 3 songs per album for long. Sirens is his solo debut, and it's bursting with an "I'm free" attitude. Isbell is all about great songs, and this album is loaded with them. If country music used Jason Isbell as its career model instead of trucks and beer and basic redneckery, we'd all be living in a better place...and we'd all like country music a lot more.

Produced by Jay Farrar. Unfairly rated as average by many critics, and ignored unfairly by many listeners. Okemah is Son Volt regrouping and going back to what made Trace so great. Songs like the burning "Bandages And Scars", "Afterglow 61", and "Ipecac" show that Farrar was still a formidable songwriter, and that Son Volt still had plenty of greatness in them. The best moments from a Son Volt show are from this album. That's because it's a great album. Period.

Produced by Them Crooked Vultures. A power trio supergroup like we haven't seen since Cream, Them Crooked Vultures (Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones)play heavy and exciting music on their only album to date. Their pedigree suggests that they have a lot to live up to, and from the opening notes of "Mind Eraser, No Chaser", the truth is out that they succeed. I believe this album deserves a lot more recognition than it gets. Maybe that will happen if and when they decide to make another one.

Produced by Karina Benznicki & Eli Cane. Recorded live in Chicago in 2005, this is a great document of everything that makes Wilco a great band. So many great songs from so many great albums...this two disc album could have easily been stretched to four without ever getting dull. The audience is stoked, particularly for winning tracks like "Via Chicago", "Jesus, Etc.", and "Misunderstood". A positively great performance by one of the greatest bands of our time. A must have live album.

Produced by Jim Abbiss. This is supposed to be the kind of album I don't like. But I was hooked from the first listen to "Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured". The pace of this album is furious, and the energy is endless. The album is almost flawless...its flaws make it even better. In 2006, I thought music was dying. This album changed my mind about that. This album makes me want to celebrate whatever I'm doing, which, to me, is the mark of a truly successful recording.

Produced by David Briggs & Neil Young. Yeah, this was recorded in 1971. Yeah, you can say that this is not viable as a 2007 entry. Bottom line: this is solo Neil Young in the most intimate of setting, playing his early material, still not completely at home being a star. People are hearing songs from Harvest for the very first time, and material from his early career still fresh. The greatest of all of Neil's live albums, it's the best way to hear this stuff...live and intimate. This album is a treasure.

Produced by Jack White III & Brendan Benson. Anyone who thought that Jack White would flounder outside of The White Stripes were proven wrong with this album. "Steady As She Goes" was an immediate hit, and the rest is more than solid. The Raconteurs are sometimes referred to as a supergroup, but only White was a widely known entity beforehand. They made another, just as good album, but this is the one that really has the punch. Powerful and solid from start to finish, this shows that White just may be the great rock hope.

Produced by Billy Bragg and Wilco. The second in a series of albums with lyrics written by the legendary Woody Guthrie, Bragg and Wilco continue the great revival of Guthrie's work they started with Volume 1. This edition is a bit darker, which is what makes it so endearing. It's still just as much fun, with Natalie Merchant singing "I Was Born" and the timelessness of songs like "Joe DiMaggio's Done It Again" and "Airline To Heaven". Bragg and Wilco, it turns out, work exceptionally well together.

Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 83.7/100, a mean average of 80.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 18.3.

When I think of the 2000s, I think of punk, post-grunge, and alternative rock. That's almost nonexistent here, or at least ones that I like. I hate country, so we clearly have very different tastes but I don't care. There are some good ones like Green Day, The Killers, Weezer, Modest Mouse, Gorillaz etc., but that's few and far between. Overall, pretty boring and flat.

I couldn't agree more with your decision to list Cold Roses at #1, as it's definitely the album from the 2000s that has meant the most to me. Just a fantastic rock album, bringing together elements that remind me of much of the rock that I loved in the seventies: Grateful Dead and the Rolling Stones especially. I also love Funeral (I know everyone does, but it's for good reason), The Dirty South, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and many others from your list. Tons of great Americana here--a fantastic list.

Great chart, love the alt-country feel. Ryan Adams' catalogue is very underrated so good to see the representation here.

I haven't listened to many of the albums so I can't judge completely. However your comments are great, you are a Jayhawks fan like me (I wish we lived in that world where everyone loved RDM), you include other artists and bands I like like Wilco (Being There is great), Muse (you must include OOS!) or The Shins and I see no album I dislike so congrats for the chart.

Man this chart is awesome. 23 albums in common with mine, but i love more than half of the albums on this chart. Never could quite get in to Gomez, maybe hes due for an other listen. Also, havent listened to most of the later stuff by older artists. Anyway, great list!

Good chart mostly, but missing Kid A for certain and In Rainbows at 56? It's better than that for sure.
