Produced by Mitchell Froom, Jon Brion & Tony Visconti. Great vocal harmonies are an important part of my life, and no one pulls them off more excitingly than Tim and Neil Finn. This album brings the best of Woodface, and every other thing they did together into one fantastic vocal album. The Finn's are the modern day Everly Brothers...they should record together more. They should record together all the time. If you sing, this is an album that shows you how it should be done.

Produced by Jason Isbell & Patterson Hood. Drive-By Truckers were just a stepping stone for Jason Isbell, and everyone pretty much knew it. You can't keep a songwriter as prolific and as good as Isbell to 3 songs per album for long. Sirens is his solo debut, and it's bursting with an "I'm free" attitude. Isbell is all about great songs, and this album is loaded with them. If country music used Jason Isbell as its career model instead of trucks and beer and basic redneckery, we'd all be living in a better place...and we'd all like country music a lot more.

For the most part, I'm not a big fan of "lost" tracks. But it's different when an artist like Neil Young makes live recordings from his private archives public. Live At Massey Hall was recorded during Young's Journey Through The Past Solo Tour in 1971 at Massey Hall in Toronto. The album features only Young on guitar and piano, and is an amazingly well played set. Young has said that this should have been the record that came out between After The Gold Rush and Harvest, but he opted for a studio release.
Many of the songs here had yet to see record yet (all of the Harvest tracks, plus some others that surfaced on later albums). "Bad Fog Of Loneliness" is heard on record for the first time here, and "Dance Dance Dance" turned out to be an early version of "Love Is A Rose". In all, Massey Hall is a great record, well with the 34 year wait.
This is the second in the Neil Young Archives Performance Series. Thanks for sharing, Neil! [First added to this chart: 12/05/2011]

Produced by Jay Farrar. Unfairly rated as average by many critics, and ignored unfairly by many listeners. Okemah is Son Volt regrouping and going back to what made Trace so great. Songs like the burning "Bandages And Scars", "Afterglow 61", and "Ipecac" show that Farrar was still a formidable songwriter, and that Son Volt still had plenty of greatness in them. The best moments from a Son Volt show are from this album. That's because it's a great album. Period.

Produced by Them Crooked Vultures. A power trio supergroup like we haven't seen since Cream, Them Crooked Vultures (Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones)play heavy and exciting music on their only album to date. Their pedigree suggests that they have a lot to live up to, and from the opening notes of "Mind Eraser, No Chaser", the truth is out that they succeed. I believe this album deserves a lot more recognition than it gets. Maybe that will happen if and when they decide to make another one.

Produced by Karina Benznicki & Eli Cane. Recorded live in Chicago in 2005, this is a great document of everything that makes Wilco a great band. So many great songs from so many great albums...this two disc album could have easily been stretched to four without ever getting dull. The audience is stoked, particularly for winning tracks like "Via Chicago", "Jesus, Etc.", and "Misunderstood". A positively great performance by one of the greatest bands of our time. A must have live album.

Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 84.0/100, a mean average of 81.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 18.3.

When I think of the 2000s, I think of punk, post-grunge, and alternative rock. That's almost nonexistent here, or at least ones that I like. I hate country, so we clearly have very different tastes but I don't care. There are some good ones like Green Day, The Killers, Weezer, Modest Mouse, Gorillaz etc., but that's few and far between. Overall, pretty boring and flat.

I couldn't agree more with your decision to list Cold Roses at #1, as it's definitely the album from the 2000s that has meant the most to me. Just a fantastic rock album, bringing together elements that remind me of much of the rock that I loved in the seventies: Grateful Dead and the Rolling Stones especially. I also love Funeral (I know everyone does, but it's for good reason), The Dirty South, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and many others from your list. Tons of great Americana here--a fantastic list.

Great chart, love the alt-country feel. Ryan Adams' catalogue is very underrated so good to see the representation here.

I haven't listened to many of the albums so I can't judge completely. However your comments are great, you are a Jayhawks fan like me (I wish we lived in that world where everyone loved RDM), you include other artists and bands I like like Wilco (Being There is great), Muse (you must include OOS!) or The Shins and I see no album I dislike so congrats for the chart.

Man this chart is awesome. 23 albums in common with mine, but i love more than half of the albums on this chart. Never could quite get in to Gomez, maybe hes due for an other listen. Also, havent listened to most of the later stuff by older artists. Anyway, great list!
