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. I am trying to ween them out

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.

85.50 Hard rock n roll. Basic feel but fucking fantastic. Great length album. One that you can forget how good it is if not played for ages. Should be more widely recognized. I'm amazed it sits at about number 22,500 in the rankings [First added to this chart: 10/07/2020]

Everyone has that album they bought which is a world away from the norm they usually listen to and buy. This is that one for me. Never would I ever have thought it would have such an impact. This is fucking gold. Love it. [First added to this chart: 10/07/2020]

80.83 Good old kiwis. This is way better than I was expecting. I thought the only song I would have known would have been the heavy ballad 'Lydia', which was thrashed back in the day. And on hearing it again, my opinion has jumped up. When you haven't heard a song in over 20 years your views can go slightly askew. But I recognized quite a few others on this. Hard Alt rock / Pop Metal. They were actually a decent band. [First added to this chart: 12/07/2024]

79.38* NZ band with a piss take on hard rock. Heavy party tunes. Very bogan. Lot of great bottom end rhythms. Up there with the better parody bands. The song 'P' is top notch earworm material. [First added to this chart: 04/05/2025]

79.23 Fantastic debut from Kiwi band. Good blend of Nu Metal/Rock. Lead singers vocals sound like a hard rock Gwen Stefani. They were big in NZ at the time but should of been more recognized than they were. First half full of absolute crackers. A great album [First added to this chart: 10/07/2020]

79.00 Love the lounge music vibe but with a rocking edge. She's got that great raspy smokey voice as well. Good album. Deserves more credit than it gets 02/24 [First added to this chart: 02/23/2024]
