Top 100 Music Albums of the 2000s by mrmcrook

The 2000's for music is quite a conundrum I find. There's some absolute gold but as a decade I found it didn't really excel.

I realize my chart has a lot of compilations and many people believe compilations shouldn't count. The reason I have included them is so I can add a few bands/artists that have fantastic music and should be recognized. Otherwise the list will be hugely dominated by a dozen bands that everyone knows has a huge number of worthy albums. Hence why the large amount of compilations and live albums.

Any footnotes are just personal ramblings for my own entertainment.
And to remind me of the joy the music brings before all memory is erased.

A legendary album. Great from start to finish. Weakest track in my opinion is the first track. It all gets better from there with the second half songs averaging 9/10. The greatest band of the 2000's. [First added to this chart: 10/07/2020]

I was a late comer to symphonic metal. It's fantastic when done well and this album is the king of all symphonic metal I've heard..... so far. Smitten with this from the moment I first heard it. And just keeps getting better each time I listen too it. The metal riffs, rhythm & melodies. The outstanding gorgeous vocals. The orchestral arrangements. The accompanying choir. All put together to total perfection. This is the gold standard of symphonic metal [First added to this chart: 03/17/2021]

Absolutely love this. Only had Vitalogy before getting this. Since then I have acquired another 7 studio albums. Some of them are fantastic (Ten, V's) but I think most have to high a ratio of just average songs. Hence why I love this. Everyone's a winner baby, that's no lie.

This was the best accident ever. Found in a clearance bin for next to nothing. I'd only ever heard one song from them on a compilation I have. Thought 'nothing to lose' so bought it. Fucking loved it. Was the best musical discovery I'd found in many many years. All hail the Elbow [First added to this chart: 10/07/2020]

This was a very pleasant surprise. Exceeded all expectations. It's a strange one. I feel slightly guilty about having it so highly placed as it's not really musically groundbreaking or different. It's just that it's so bloody good. Top notch right through. Massively under rated

Love this. Brilliant debut. There are many contenders who try to blend melody, rhythm and flow perfectly. Many fail. They has perfected it. Victory to Kasabian. Great music doesn't date and this is still as dynamic as the day it came out. [First added to this chart: 10/07/2020]

The Chem's are my go-to whenever in the mood for electronica (or whatever you label this style as). I have almost all their albums. I love this the most as it's built more around rhythm & groove rather than the bleep, beep, squeal sound of the earlier recordings. Great to see live. One set of lyrics on this "The final chaos. It never stops. No-one stopping", couldn't be more prevalent than at the moment. The Chem's fucking rule. [First added to this chart: 10/07/2020]

An ultimate metal album. The meshing of classic, death, prog into the blending pot has resulted in the sublime. Master musicians all round. 01/24 [First added to this chart: 10/07/2020]
