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?

Rock - Progressive Pop
I got this 2009 off the back of the singles. I liked the vocal of Dan Gillespie-Sells which reminded me a bit of Suede's Brett Anderson.
This band - and this album - is energetic and fun with excellent lively tracks throughout - Join With Us, Turn It Up, Loneliness to name a few.
You can hear influences from 10cc and Supertramp with excellent backing vocal arrangements throughout. [First added to this chart: 09/21/2018]

Alternative Rock, Art Rock
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]

Alternative rock, Southern rock
I recall the single "Sex on Fire" and rating it highly although I don't normally go for this more heavier rock sound. But I gave this album a few listens early in 2015 and it took a few listens for me to start to be receptive to the style and delivery. Suddenly I started to "get it" - "Closer" and "Cold Desert" - the opening and end track are just beautiful.
I still struggle with "17" and "Be Somebody" but it's great to explore and pick up other genre's because there is beauty everywhere. [First added to this chart: 10/20/2018]
