Epitaph by Necrophagist.

By a lot, really, if I'm being objective.

I don't think this would count as the best album of the decade, but it is definitely the best album in the history of music:

Dalek - Absence
Boris - Heavy Rocks/ Akuma No Uta (Definately helped revive the Stoner Metal Genre)

I think that these are a couple of the better releases of the decade.

My favourite album from the Aught-Naughts was Alek Szahala's Xochitlan.

Favourite song from the decade is Silicon Scally's Rendered on his Bioroid album.

Wow. I knew it. I knew that after I finished my list and ended the decade, I'd find an album that blows nearly half of the albums I mentioned out of the water.

Fever Ray - Fever Ray

I've been looking through quite a few "Top Albums of the 00's" lists and the recurring albums that always seem to be at the top are Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Radiohead - Kid A and Arcade Fire - Funeral. What do you guys think of these choices?



The Wilco album was definitely good! :) (although then again I like pretty much everything Wilco does) - for Radiohead I would've chosen "In Rainbows", and for Arcade Fire I would've chosen "Neon Bible".

It's easier to just choose bands than songs for the '00s, so here goes:

Joanna Newsom, Regina Spektor, Jose Gonzalez, Damien Rice, Kings of Leon, Ryan Adams, The Raconteurs, Beck, The White Stripes, Death Cab for Cutie, Feist, Guster, Pete Yorn, Wilco, and some Snow Patrol and Killers songs were the highlights of the decade!! (and MANY other bands, but IMO the ones I listed were the best :D)

Is it just me, or does a lot of the music I mentioned bear a slight resemblance to the folk-rock movement of the '60s?! My mom thinks a lot of it does and I kinda think so, too.
