Audioslave should have been one monster of a supergroup. It just never worked out that way. When Zack de la Rocha quit Rage Against The Machine in 2000, the rest of the band went looking for a new lead singer. Rick Rubin suggested former Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, who was starting work on a solo album. The four musicians clicked immediately, and Audioslave was born. There was a world of anticipation over what this union could be…Rage was a heavier band than Cornell had worked with, and Cornell was a much bigger voice than de la Rocha had ever been. What actually happened on Audioslave was a group of lesser songs given the pristine rock band treatment by Rubin, resulting in an album that felt less heavy, and not nearly as raw and powerful, as either of the member’s previous works had been.
In other words, Audioslave turned out to be yet another disappointing supergroup. Cornell is in fine form…he’s a monster vocalist. His lyrics on the album are disappointing and light, though. And while Tom Morello and the rest of the band are more than capable, nothing jumps out and grabs you by the throat the way you would hope from this band. What Audioslave ultimately ends up being is an average hard rock album with a few ballads, forgettable lyrics, and a great singer. “Cochise” is the real high point: after that, you just won’t remember much. Audioslave made a couple more albums but never really got it right. De la Rocha came back in 2007, and Rage was reborn with Audioslave becoming a thing of the past. Stck with Rage Against The Machine and Soundgarden instead. This stuff doesn’t suck, but it’s also really not exceptional. [First added to this chart: 07/20/2015]

Produced by Josh Homme & Eric Valentine. A road trip from Los Angeles to Joshua Tree via car radio. Most likely late at night. This thrilling album never eases up, and almost eats your face at "No One Knows", a song that would have made mid 70's Jimmy Page proud. Having Dave Grohl on board playing drums doesn't hurt, and having a great set of songs make greatness possible, and greatness happens. Moreso than any other Queens album, this is a keeper, a must have, a monster.

5. Even Song
6. Ruff Stuff

Gomez is a British band that has been around since the late 90’s. Have you never heard of them? Shame. Gomez is kind of like what Journey was to the late 1970’s and early 80’s…the girls really dig Gomez, as they did Journey. And the guys listened to Gomez because they wanted the girls. The difference between Gomez and Journey is that Gomez is a hell of a lot more entertaining and a much better band. They have never made much of an impression (beyond the female audience) in America, which is too bad…Gomez makes terrific music. And they have a very impressive lineup of great songs. And albums. In Our Gun is the third record by Gomez, and while it failed to even dent the US charts, it was a top ten UK album. And for good reason.
Gomez has been fully intact since 1996, with three strong songwriters in Olly Peacock, Ian Ball and Ben Ottewell. In Our Gun features fine writing with “Shot Shot”, “Ping One Down”, “Detroit Swing 66” and “Sound Of Sounds”. Ball and Ottewell have contrasting vocal sounds, which gives each song a welcome variance. In Our Gun gets overlooked as it sits between Liquid Skin and Split The Difference, but it still stands as one of the better Gomez albums. Don’t know who Gomez is? Go take a listen. This is a fine, and very (in the US) underrated band. Tuneful, rocking, interesting, and highly entertaining. The men don’t know…but the girls…they always understand. Gomez is the real deal, and are a worthy discovery. [First added to this chart: 12/04/2011]

3. Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots, Pt. 1
4. Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots, Pt. 2
5. In The Morning Of The Magicians

11. Approaching Pavonis Mons By Balloon (Utopia Planitia)
Attention all musicians my age: Two words. Wayne Coyne. His band, The Flaming Lips, were becoming a hip and cool band in 2002, just as their frontman and founder Coyne was turning 41 years old. At pretty much the exact age when most of us older guys decide we’ve got no chance and decide to turn it in, Coyne’s band, which had been around for twenty years, had their biggest commercial breakthrough with Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots, an album of emotional stories built around a character named Yoshimi, who battles pink robots. It became a huge victory for this trio, which sounds like a twelve piece band, and for old guys in music everywhere.
“Do You Realize??” has become an anthem for a generation that Coyne and his band had no part of growing up with. “Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Pt. 1” is a marvelous journey. “Fight Test” is similar in many ways to “Father And Son” by Cat Stevens. And “Ego Tripping At The Gates Of Hell” is as trippy as the title would suggest. Flaming Lips shows became quite an adventure, and the songs here are a big reason why. Yoshimi has quietly become a true classic. The trio created a run that made them a top live act for many years, and Yoshimi was a huge part of that. This album sounds terrific to this day…layers of great sounds built around great songs. For me, this is the Lips greatest achievement. A truly fine album. [First added to this chart: 08/09/2024]

2002 – CAPITOL
Produced By COLDPLAY & KEN NELSON
1. Politik
2. In My Place
3. God Put A Smile Upon Your Face
4. The Scientist
5. Clocks
6. Daylight
7. Green Eyes
8. Warning Sign
9. A Whisper
10. A Rush Of Blood To The Head
11. Amsterdam
Coldplay gets a lot of heat these days. I’m not getting why, but people turned on them at some point. But in 2002, with their second album (A Rush Of Blood To The Head), this band emerged from that band that did that “Yellow” song to the most likely heir apparent to the throne of Radiohead. And for good reason…this is one powerhouse of an album. You hear not only the lineage of Radiohead, but also the strong influence of bands like R.E.M. and U2. Led by frontman / pianist Chris Martin, Coldplay exploded with an album that was below…but not by a whole lot…the level of OK Computer. Loaded with great hits and layers of great sounding music, this was a band that was truly on the rise.
The best tracks here (“The Scientist”, “God Put A Smile Upon Your Face”, “In My Place”) are as good as anything that came out in the early 2000’s. And “Clocks” is a pure winner. Whatever sins Coldplay
may or may not have committed against the world of music, the truth is, this is one of the best albums of the decade. There is no sophomore slump with this band…they, like Radiohead, got better the second time around. And the third as well…in fact, every single Coldplay album from this one forward has peaked in the top five in both the UK and America…no small feat. This is the album where the band got it together, and it’s a true winner from start to finish. Definitely one to at least give a listen to. [First added to this chart: 06/21/2021]

2002-NONESUCH
Produced By WILCO
1. I Am Trying To Break Your Heart
2. Kamera
3. Radio Cure
4. War On War
5. Jesus, Etc.
6. Ashes Of American Flags
7. Heavy Metal Drummer
8. I'm The Man Who Loves You
9. Pot Kettle Black
10. Poor Places
11. Reservations
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is the album where everything Wilco has ever done came together perfectly in one place. There's (a little) alt country, Jeff Tweedy's acoustic pop vision, the full strength of Wilco as a band, the element of noise that would dominate later recordings, and the acidic war between Tweedy and the now late multi-instrumentalist Jay Bennett, not to mention a fallout with their record company and a mid-album lineup change.
The results are brilliant. Every experiment works perfectly, and the mixture of noise and pop is fantastic. Song after song fits exactly as it should. Easily the best Wilco album, and one of the best of the 2000 decade. [First added to this chart: 12/04/2011]

2002 – MATADOR
Produced By PETER KATIS & GARETH JONES
1. Untitled
2. Obstacle 1
3. NYC
4. PDA
5. Say Hello To The Angels
6. Hands Away
7. Obstacle 2
8. Stella Was A Diver And She Was Always Down

One of the best albums of its decade. It’s always great to see a band hit it out of the park on their first try. Interpol’s debut album, Turn On The Bright Lights, is a truly beautiful work. Picking up where Joy Division had left off with the death of Ian Curtis, the band, led by guitarist/singer Paul Banks, released a debut album that set the tone for guitar rock for the rest of the decade of the 2000’s. The songs are impressive, the mood is dark and moody, and the sound is surprisingly full and mature for a band that was just starting out. They sound very British, but they hail from New York City. The lyrics are sometimes undecipherable, but everything else makes that okay. And even though pretty much everything is gloomy, you still end the album wishing there was more. Not many bands could pull all of this off, but Interpol makes it actually sound easy.
“Untitled” sets the standard, and the band never wavers. In fact, the first four tracks on Turn On The Bright Lights are as good as you will find anywhere. The run of “Untitled”, “Obstacle 1”, “NYC” and “PDA” makes this worth having alone. That the rest of the album is as excellent as it is makes it indispensible. Interpol manages to connect the dots from Joy Division and The Cure and Bauhaus to create a dark document that never gets old. The band has made four albums since, and while each has sold more than Turn On The Bright Lights, Interpol is still trying to recreate the excellence of their debut album. At this point it’s doubtful that they will, but the rest of their discography is worthwhile, and there will always be Turn On The Bright Lights. One of the first great albums of the 2000’s, and always a great listen. [First added to this chart: 02/17/2012]

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 84.0/100, a mean average of 81.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 18.3.

I love this chart for the descriptions as well as the amount of music for me to discover.

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!
