So as were nearly finished in the noughties, what was your best album of the decade ?

Mine was X&Y.

Quote from: SamMine was X&Y.

Controversial possibly, but not even the best Coldplay album of the noughties for me.

Damien Rice - O for me I think but a big part of that is about nostalgia for a time Im not getting back  :?

Thats a tough one. Based on what I think Ill still be listening to in ten or twenty years to come its got to be a close run thing between Fever Rays debut, Meads of Asphodels "Damascus Steel", "Gap Var Ginnunga" from Wardruna, Bal-Sagoths "Atlantis Ascendant", and Gary Numans "Pure".

Radiohead - In Rainbows. 8-)

You know I couldnt get into In Rainbows despite its great reviews.

Soy: I think X&Y is the best Coldplay album and of the big fans Ive spoken to, they seem to agree. However the casual fans seem to think its the worst. Weird huh?

Not sure of my absolute favourite, but Roots Manuvas Run, Come save me is definitely in my top 10.

Along with :
Godspeed you black emperor : Lift your skinny wrists like antennas to heaven,
Anything by Mr Scruff

come on, its got to be the cheeky girls

No, seriously.

I think for me it was a choice of:
In Flames - Come Clarity
Placebo - Meds
Muse - Origin of Symmetry

(:

Diablo Swing Orchestra - Butchers Ballroom for me

Of the decade is really tough - such a long period to pick from.

I think Im going to go with Metallica - St Anger. Its spanned 2 very different periods in my life and is one of the few things that Ive held onto during both so a lot of memories and nostaglia for me. Plus I still freakin love it!  

Agreed, its incredibly difficult if yopu listen to a lot of genres and styles of music.

Im going with my safe and easy choice.

Goldfrapp - Seventh Tree

Quote from: BeanissocoollikePlacebo - Meds

Awesome back to roots (Guitar  --> Amp) album.

Theres been a lot of standout albums this year for me along with Medicore albums.  Some of my favourites have been.

White Stripes - Elephant
NIN - Year Zero
Little Boots - Hands
Muse - Absolution
The Killers - Hot Fuss (They never beat this benchmark IMO)
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Hot Chip - Made In The Dark
Sigur Ros - Takk

Ive spent most of the past decade getting into older stuff, so I cant really think of anything.

Im sure Ill get slated for a few of these, but so what.....

Saudades de Rock by Extreme
Stadium Arcadium by RHCP
De-Loused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Dont Believe The Truth by Oasis
Call Off The Search by Katie Melua
Morning View by Incubus
Permission To Land by The Darkness
Parachutes by Coldplay

Please note that in the last decade 90% of the music Ive listened is from the 60s, 70s and 80s.

Stadium Arcadium is a fantastic choice, 2 CDs of great tracks and one of the greatest modern vinyl masterings of our time. I wish more bands put out productions of this magnitude. 8-)

Of course (even forgetting its better) theres 3x as much to choose from!

Anyway, did you really mean to put down the Darkness ?
