Recommended Posts

I usually get a few new albums to have a listen to when we all do these sort of lists, so I figured top 20 of the 00's as I watched a shite documentary about it last night. What are yours? I won't throw a hissy fit if you pick less than 20.

The Midnight Organ Fight – Frightened Rabbit

Good News For People Who Love Bad News – Modest Mouse

Is This It? – The Strokes

Life Yr Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven – Godspeed You Black Emperor!

Warpaint – The Black Crowes

Kasabian – Kasabian

Fever To Tell – Yeah Yeah Yeahs

White Blood Cells – The White Stripes

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots – The Flaming Lips

Keep On Your Mean Side – The Kills

Heavy Friends - Boris

Up The Bracket – The Libertines

Antidotes – Foals

Putting the Killers in once makes me question your love of music, including them twice is enough to disregard an opinion!

I like the Killers. No shame to be had. :shrugs:

sam's town is a pretty great record, and when you were young would probably make the top 30 or so if ever made a top songs of the '00s list. day & age kinda sucks though :/

my list ('00s being 2000-2009)

(21. Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - Cold Roses)

20. The Hold Steady - Separation Sunday

19. The Strokes - Is This It

18. Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts Of The Great Highway

15. My Morning Jacket - Okonokos

14. Manic Street Preachers - Journal For Plague Lovers

13. Reigning Sound - Love And Curses

12. Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy

11. Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago

10. The National - Alligator

9. The Libertines - Up The Bracket

8. The Tallest Man On Earth - The Tallest Man On Earth EP

Great list loses all credibility here

Overall, been pretty impressed by what you guys have said. Five years ago I doubt this place would be so open minded about music. It would have all been Bon Jovi and Motley Crue and the like

Are you from Sweden, Pico? Wouldn't expect a non-swede to include Håkan Hellström, have you heard his new record?

yes box, prima snus :)

his new album is great! they all are, except for nåt nytt.... which one's your favorite?

"du är snart där" might be this year's best song. hope to catch him live sometime, should be a blast.

nice :)

yeah, his new one might actually be (or rather become) my favourite of his, but he's got a very strong discography (haven't heard Nåt Nytt... more than twice, but the rest). Otherwise it's either the debut or För Sent För Edelweiss. And yeah, agree about Du Är Snart Där, it's a wonderful song, although I might just prefer Dom Där Jag Kommer Ifrån :) both are easily among the best songs of the year, and the whole record is top five material. I saw him live at Way Out West this summer when he performed the entire Känn Ingen Sorg För Mig Göteborg album live, which was amazing...The crowd was really into everything and it was just this insane feeling, plus the actual concert was good :lol: I'm probably gonna see him live in a few weeks at Hovet :) but if you get the chance, you should definitely go see him.
