kinda thought this thread was more "at this point what kinda stuff will be on your end of year lists." That's how I was answering anyway and that's how most ppl seem to be from how they are phrasing it.

First of all, I'm glad this thread finally got bumped. Second, haters chill. If you read the first post, this thread is more about Your Top Ten Fave Singles/Albums of This Decade so far. Your entire top ten won't come from the next six months no matter how many riches they burp up. So tell us your fave albums/singles so far. And find me an Aughties metal band as amazing as The Angelic Process.

2. Several songs in oneThis represents the worst of mainstream pop.
Wait a minute, Geir. Aren't you on fire for "several songs in one?" Isn't that precisely what "Supper's Ready" and acres of prog are all about?
― Kevin John Bozelka, Sunday, 24 May 2009 17:57 (fifteen years ago) link
Surprising to me how little I'm really enthusiastic. Can certainly get behind:
Arcade Fire, Funeral (seems much older; had to double-check it was released after 1999.)New Pornographers, Mass RomanticThe Mountain Goats, All Hail West TexasBelle and Sebastian, Dear Catastrophe WaitressThe White Stripes, Elephant
And beyond that, I'm not sure! Maybe the first Man Man record, maybe Widow City, maybe Talkie Walkie, maybe What's Happening in Pernambuco... but much as I liked these records when I got them I haven't really returned to them.

Allmusic says it was a single in 2000 but the album came out in 1999.

thread's interesting just to sort of be reminded of what's been out. not sure about a solid 10 on either, but things likely to place for me:
m.i.a. kala (or possibly piracy funds terrorism)t.i. kingmarnie stern -- one or the other, i go back and forth. probably the second oneoutkast stankonialumo vocalcityfirst DFA comp
things that could possibly, i don't know: sean paul, amadou and mariam, konono no. 1, keren ann, times new viking, jay-z black album, lots i'm sure i'm not thinking of.
singles would be even harder, but some things i'd hate to leave off:
"gasolina" daddy yankee"oye mi canto" n.o.r.e./nina sky/etc (i prefer the mix with tego to the one with daddy yankee)"pull shapes" pipettes"oh" ciara"umbrella" rihannabeyonce track to be named later (seriously, how do you choose?)

clicking through all the "best of 200*" lists online to help jog my memory made me realize how mainstream my tastes were this decade. but with the naughty's rap renaissance being so great i'm not sure i care.

Man I want to make a singles list, but it's gonna be so tough! There are just a ridiculous number of songs I love from the last 10 years, just in hip hop alone! Not nearly as easy to quantify as albums IMO.
Likely my top pick though, a true all-time incredible classic, is "Le Retournille" by Sébastien Tellier. I hope it gets its due on the ILX poll (was it even on the Pitchfork list at all?)
