I listed out anywhere from 20-50 albums for each year. I primarily listened to rock during that time frame, so I'm checking out these for the first time: M.I.A. - Kala Clipse - Lord willin' Clipse - Hell Hath No Fury Santigold - Santogold Ghostface Killah - Supreme Clientele Amy Winehouse - Back to Black Portishead - Third D'Angelo - Voodoo omg u have never heard voodoo!!!!!!! you are gonna lose your shit I tried out Black Messiah earlier this year and loved it. Two very different records. Voodoo is incredibly chill. Need to give it some more listens, but I enjoyed it tremendously. |

As fascinating and lame as those stats are, I kinda wish you'd held off until The Board list was finished so we could be properly congradulated/scolded

Is it The Official Best 200 or people's favorite 200?

well its apparently not the fault of those publications, according to NPR's "150 Greatest Albums by Women," this decade only had three good albums by women: Gillian Welch's "Time (The Revelator)"; M.I.A.'s "Kala"; Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" are the only albums in the top 50.

apparently this is the fault of women, and not male dominated publications. Take that ladies!

Looking at those other lists, I feel like it's a disservice to Nancy Whang to group her as a White Man.
I don't know that Karen O would segment herself in the White bucket either.
Some of these aren't totally binary.

Some of these aren't totally binary. Totally glossed over the YYYs, that's my bad. Good catch. I don't know enough about LCD Soundsystem, always just figured it was predominantly James Murphy since that's all anyone ever talks about with relation to the band. Can also make a case for Meg White, but (at least at the time) people mostly shit on her drumming and praise Jack's contributions more. |

Does Agaetis byrjun by Sigur Ros count? It came out in 1999 but Pitchfork included it in their 2000 year end list and their 2000s decade list. I personally wouldn't count it as a 2000s album but if others are I will.

I'm gonna say no to both. |

I think this list is going to trend heavy on the white male side because this board is overwhelmingly white and male.
That is the way the lists we make have always gone

I could lie to myself and put a ton of acclaimed albums by black and female artists that I rarely listen to now and almost certainly never listened to back in the 2000s but I’d rather be honest and put albums that I enjoyed back in the day and that still hold up imo.

Oh for sure. My yearly album lists are dominated by white males. It was just an observation, not being critical of y'all.
Everyone approaches these lists differently. I try to find things that I missed or never gave much thought to, going outside of what I normally listened to now that my tastes have broadened in the last decade. Naturally there's gonna be overlap tho. If we did it again in 10 years it'd likely change again My no. 1 hasn't changed tho.

For sure. My list will almost entirely be stuff I came across years later.

But I wasn't blown away by this. Clipse: Lord Willin' - Enjoyed this one for the most part, but there were a few moments that I zoned out on. Amy Winehouse - I stopped listening to radio/popular music like in 2004, so her husky voice shocked me a little. I actually really enjoyed this one. Portishead - Loved this. I'd only ever listened to Dummy, but I spun this twice in a row. Getting to the rest today. |

As much as I love the first two Portishead albums I think Third has aged the best so far.

Silly question but is Sleep's Dopesmoker an aughts release? I know very little about their actual production cycles but Wikipedia seems to suggest they released it in some form in 1999?

Technically, while still based around the same composition / recording sessions, Jerusalem was the 1999 release, while the album Dopesmoker was 2003.

Researching my list made me realize how little time I've spent since like 2014 or so listening to 2000s records. So many of them got me into "indie" or whatever in high school, made a big emotional impact, and then haven't resurfaced with me in like 2-3+ years. Anyone else finding this? Like lots of Important records to me, but not a lot that continue to resonate with me deeply.
Anyways, pulling together a 100 list is proving more difficult that I anticipated - tho I'll still do a full 100. But somewhere in college I basically gave up researching lesser known 2000s bands for some reason, could probably make a deeper list for every decade since the 50s...

Completely agree with all of this. I've got 50 ranked right now and a whole list of others I want to visit / a few notable omissions to check out for the first time. I'd like to get it to 100. |

Took a detour on my leftovers today and opted for some others that I'd never heard before.
Jay-Z: The Blueprint - JFC. I'm sure it's lost it's impact for some of you, but having never heard this before, I was struck by how strong it was. I know it's highly revered and all, but I didn't expect it to be this enjoyable.
Elliot Smith: Figure 8 - I dig his previous albums, but this didn't do much for me. Son of Sam was the main highlight but after that it just kind of blurred together.
Santigold: Santigold - I really enjoyed this one, especially "L.E.S. Artistes" and "Lights Out." Will def be returning to this one.
Annie: Anniemal - Not my thing, though not awful.
Bjork: Vespertine - I've never been drawn to Bjork at all, even with the hype surrounding her last two albums. But this was excellent. "Hidden Place," "Unison," and "Pagan Poetry" were my favorites.
I revisited The College Dropout. It's of course, still great. Been awhile since I listened to it.
