Top 10 albums of the 2000's

[Territorial_Game]

Hmm... My personal favorites, not "objective" top 10's:

 

Porcupine Tree- Fear of a Blank Planet

Dream Theater- Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence

Rush- Snakes & Arrows

Coheed & Cambria- Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Vol. 1: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness

3- The End is Begun

Opeth- Watershed

The Mars Volta- Frances the Mute

Riverside- Second Life Syndrome

Steven Wilson- Insurgentes

Muse- Absolution

 

 

This was hard having to use 10 different artists. I definitely wanted Octavarium, Deadwing, and Vapor Trails up there.

[fledgehog]

very very VERY tentative, so take it with a grain of salt. You should see my nominations list, holy f*cker...

 

1. Radiohead- Kid A

2. Arcade Fire- Funeral

3. Porcupine Tree- Lightbulb Sun

4. Agalloch- The Mantle

5. Pat Metheny Group- The Way Up

6. Pain of Salvation- Remedy Lane

7. The Decemberists- The Hazards of Love

8. Between the Buried and Me- Colors

9. Radiohead- In Rainbows

10. Circa Survive- On Letting Go

Way too much music for that

its easy for me. Now if this were top 10 albums of the 70's that would be a completely different story

Unfortunately, no. Couldn't manage traveling to see them on a school night. Aw, bummer. They were amazing. Though it was brutal seeing TWO opening bands

[GeddyLeeRoth]

I have defninately purchased or burned less 'new' music this last decade, but there are more than 10 stellar ones I have heard. I totally forgot about the Chili Pepper's Stadium Arcadium, so I redid mine.

 

1. Exodus--Tempo Of The Damned

2. Slayer--World Painted Blood

3. System Of A Down--Toxicity

4. Red Hot Chili Peppers--Stadium Arcadium

5. Rush--Vapor Trails

6. Black Label Society--1919 Eternal

7. Iron Maiden--Brave New World

8. Metallica--Death Magnetic

9. Pantera--Reinventing The Steel

10. (tie)Alice In Chains--Black Gives Way To Blue/

Arch Enemy--Wages Of Sin

 

There is probably a ton of other shit I haven't heard...

[tangy]

lets give it a try:

 

1-Deadwing - porcupine tree. arriving somewhere & lazarus = greatness.

 

2-the great misdirect- BTBAM. this may be rated too high but its my current fave. Its hard to decide between this and colors.

 

3-the hidden step- ozric tentacles

 

4-in search of the- buckethead. 13 discs total some filler but alot of killer. burned by buckethead himself and the cover art was individually drawn by buckethead.

 

5-Spocks Beard- V

 

6-Frances the mute- the mars volta

 

7-Vapor trails- rush

 

8-crack the skye- mastodon

 

9- Sound theories Vol 1 & 2- Steve Vai with orchestra. easily the best rock/orchestra collaboreation ever.

 

10-black clouds and silver linings- DT.

Here's something I just wrote recently. http://onethirtybpm.com/2010/01/10/use-your-disillusionment/

[Xanadu93]

[GrandDesigner]

[Xanadu93]

[rushgoober]

OOPS, forgot I already posted in this thread - move along...

[J0N]

Opeth - Blackwater Park

Electric Wizard - Dopethrone

The Wildhearts - Must Be Destroyed

Paul Gilbert - Silence Followed by a Deafening Roar

Enslaved - Below The Lights

Bolt Thrower - Those Once Loyal

Immortal - Sons of Northern Darkness

Porcupine Tree - In Absentia

Racer X - Superheroes

Sodom - M16

Tool - Lateralus

 

 

Just about the first 10 I thought of, would probably change a lot if I thought about it more

[KublaKhan]

Kind of embarassing, but I don't think I even own 10 records from the 2000's... which is kind of wierd considering it's one of the 2 decades ive lived in (I probably have 30 albums grand total from all the years ive live for).

 

But, I can make a definitive choice for number 1: Tool's Lateralus. From start to finish a perfect masterpiece of what an album from the 2000's (wow... i keep typing "this decade" for some reason.... still stuck in 2009...) should have sounded like.

 

A couple of The Mars Volta records arent bad, specifically Deloused and Frances, although I don't feel ive listened to them enough to accurately conclude on them.

 

And of course, I think Wolfmother is amazing, a sentiment which apparenly noone shares with me... I thought Cosmic Egg was a great record, and their first was awesome aswell.

 

The rest of the decade for me is either stuff that is commercial garbage or underground stuff which I have yet to hear, and probably will in the distant future.

[Jake2112]

Goin' on a limb, I think:

 

1. 10,000 Days (Tool)

2. We Don't Need To Whisper (Angels & Airwaves)

3. Mafia (Black Label Society)

4. Blink-182 (Blink-182)

5. Hot Fuss (The Killers)

6. Octavarium (Dream Theater)

7. Vapor Trails (Rush)

8. Anomaly (Ace Frehley)

9. The Power To Believe (King Crimson)

10. Deja Entendu (Brand New)

[In A Tidewater Surge]

Porcupine Tree - Fear Of A Blank Planet

Rush - Snakes and Arrows

The Format - Dog Problems

Taylor Swift - Fearless(Don't hate )

Geddy Lee - My Favorite Headache

Fun. - Aim and Ignite

 

I haven't listened to enough modern music to rank any more

Good call on Porcupine Tree, completely forgot about them, as a lot of people seem to do...

[In A Tidewater Surge]

FOABP is my favorite album of the past.. 20 years? It's amazing

[Xanadu93]

QUOTE (Jake2112 @ Jun 3 2010, 07:24 PM)

4. Blink-182 (Blink-182)

I was going to add that to my altered list, but I feel like I haven't listened to it that much... which makes like no sense considering I've listened to it 2-3 times a week for about three months. I guess it would knock Rush out of the top ten, which I guess is okay.

[Rhosyn Helena]

Out of the CDs I actually own:

 

1. Fear of a Blank Planet/In Absentia/Deadwing/The Incident by Porcupine Tree (can't decide which is best - huuuge PT fan)

2. Insurgentes by Steven Wilson

3. Design Your Universe by Epica

4. White Sugar by Joanne Shaw Taylor

5. Watershed by Opeth

6. In Rainbows by Radiohead

7. The Butcher and the Butterfly by QueenAdreena

8. The Ventriloquist by Ruby Throat

9. We're Here Because We're Here by Anathema

10. Someone Here Is Missing by The Pineapple Thief

 

Okay, I have sooo many more that I want to add to this list, including Ayreon, Kamelot, Blackfield... etc etc etc. Tried to cherry-pick but it was absolutely the hardest list of CDs I have ever compiled.

I have this band's first two albums (Abducting.. and 137), and I really like them, yet for some reason I just stopped getting their shit. How does this one compare to those two?

 

And In Absentia is always the winner in a PT poll...don't you know that??

Arcade Fire - Neon Bible

Dream Theater - 6DOIT

IQ - Frequency

Circus Maximus - Isolate

Geddy Lee - My Favorite Headache

[Mandalorian Hunter]

I'm not sure if I can do a favourite 10 records. I've got three that are in a league of their own, then the rest are in the good or great category. So yeah;

 

Muse - Absolution

Oceansize - Frames

Sigur Ros - Takk

 

Expect a modification at some point though.
