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

Just thought I'd share that! - My Chart picks are moving towards more recognised albums or just more people on the site?
