Top 100 Music Albums of the 2000s by PeterSmith

After dropping out of music in the 90's I found the tunes in 2000's on the radio quite refreshing without really picking up new bands and renewing my interest in albums.
Coldplay, Keane, The Feeling, Travis, Kasabian and Amy MacDonald amongst exceptions. And by mid decade I finally got into Radiohead. Yahoo. Late but got there.
I heard singles from MGMT, Snow Patrol, The Strokes, White Stripes, Frans Ferdinand, Placebo, Jay Z, 50 Cents, Eminem, Daft Punk, Gorillaz, Air, Killers, The Script, Lily Allan, Moby, Libertines, Florence & The Machine, Artic Monkeys amongst many others all peaking my interest without any follow up.

But it did mean that I missed some great stuff that I am only catching up from mid 2010's onwards including Muse, Bon Iver, Kayne West, Grandaddy, Arcade Fire, The XX, Green Day, Sigur Ros, Interpol, Fleet Foxes, Modest Mouse, The National amongst others.

Probably I now think the 00's might now have the best music after the 70's previously being my go-to era. But I am light on 60's and 2010's era's so more to explore in those decades.

As at July 22 (June 2019) this chart has:
18 (10) big classics - appear in >1000 charts
23 (25) mid level classics - appear in >500 - 1000 charts
18 (14) low level classics - appear in >250 - 500 charts
21 (23) minor - appear in >100 - 250 charts
18 (24) rare - appear >10 - 100 charts
2 (4) super rare - appear in <10 charts
Just thought I'd share that! - My Chart picks are moving towards more recognised albums or just more people on the site?

Got this almost at release off the back of the excellent One Day Like This - loving the big, big chorus chant. Guy Garvey has a rich, cool delivery. [First added to this chart: 10/14/2018]

Got this album in 2016 but recalled the excellent "Set the Fire to the Third Bar" and also really liked the other singles. But the second outstanding track for me is "Make This Go On Forever". [First added to this chart: 10/14/2018]

Garage Rock Revival, Blues Rock, Punk Blues, Indie Rock
Picked this up in 2017 and hadn't realised it was then that had done the superb "Seven Nation Army" - and what a great video. Loving the colouring Red/White/Black of the band - smart stuff.

So many great tracks here but I'll just call out the longest track "Ball and Biscuit" and the subliminal final track "Well It's True That We Love One Another" - a playful duet between Meg and Jack and dragging Holly into it for her reluctant views on their love. LOL. [First added to this chart: 10/14/2018]

Indie rock, post punk revival, dance-punk
Got this in 2016 but had enjoyed the singles at the time - Take Me Out is energetic and superb guitar hook, one of my all-time favourite singles.
The whole album is made up of catchy energetic songs delivered by Alex Kapranos [First added to this chart: 10/14/2018]
