Top 100 Music Albums of the 2000s by Purplepash

I missed most of this decade album wise due to busy life and limited exposure to new music, and relied on purchased CDs and radioplay singles. So this chart is a mixture of the albums I did catch on to at the time and have loved for years, and the albums that are impressing me now as I explore this missing decade in my music history, and so will be a constantly changing ongoing project.

"My thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth"

I love great lyrics and there are so many on this album. I could choose favourite lyrics from every song. Well everyone with lyrics that is. This was the album that started my obsession with Modest Mouse. I love Isaac Brock's vocal delivery. His timing, emphasis, etc is top quality. The music is also fantastic and enough variety that I will never get bored of listening to this album. For me they are the best band of the 2000s without a doubt.

Favourite songs: The World At Large, Bukowski, Float On, Ocean Breathes Salty, The View [First added to this chart: 06/04/2017]

"A lifelong walk to the
Same exact spot"

For a couple of years MM were probably my most listened to artist with this album and Good News being the albums I listened to the most. They are nearly as good as each other in my tastes. Fascinating songs that reward repeat listening.

Favourite song: Parting Of The Sensory is easily the best song on an album full of great songs (Spitting Venom, Dashboard, Little Motel...). [First added to this chart: 06/04/2017]

"Life is a waterfall
We're one in the river
And one again after the fall"

My favourite go to angry album to get it out and leave me in a good mood. Both political and personal, serious and lighthearted. Aerials is fantastic closer that sums up the album.

@Randolph, thanks for the comment. Good call on QOTSA, ...Like Clockwork is one of my faves...been meaning to listen to more having seen them live and loving their singles. I'll get on that soon.

Nice chart. I forgot how awesome that Grinderman album was! But where's the Queens of the Stone Age? Kid A and Songs for the Deaf are easily my Top 2 of the decade.
