wow, this is very loose and in no order, but the list would definitely feature some of the following. i haven't thought about putting a list like this together previously.

1. Shameless samples2. Several songs in one4. Shtick5. Novelty6. House music that sounds like Shakedown: "At Night"7. Irritating repetitions
Girl Talk.

Yeah, Girl Talk's Night Ripper will probably end up on a lot of lists. It sounds so contemporary, winking ironically but lovingly back toward the past.

also, good call on vespertine.
That Broadcast album is very good. I also forgot Destroyer's Rubies, the best David Bowie-homage, and among the best shambolic 70s-sounding rock albums, of the decade.

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?)

'the argument' might crack my top 10 if i thought long and hard about it actually. black dice - 'beaches and canyons' is also up there somewhere. add those two to the records i listed previously.

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.
top 10 singles:
slave 4 u - britneynever leave you (uh ooh) - lumideebaby boy - beyoncedigital love - daft punkmusic - madonnaget ur freak on - missy elliottthe streets - original pirate materialdrop it like it's hot - snoop doggme & u - cassie wait (the whisper song) - yin yang twins
top 10 albums:
snoop dogg - r&gjay z - black albumdr. dre - chronic 2001voodoo - d'angelosambass 1&2 (brazilian drum and bass comp) <--- counts as one cause i bought them at the same timeludacris - word of moufpostal service - give upkanye west - college dropoutkanye west - graduationkanye west - 808s and heatbreaks
fwiw these charts would be more reflective of my tastes if i we were allowed to put essential mixes recorded off the radio in the album section.

Artists of the decade is also an interesting thread topic. Kanye and Craig Finn! Good Nos. 1 -- 2. No GhostFace?
― Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 26 May 2009 12:04 (fifteen years ago) link
(I remember Alfred saying GhostFace is the best album artist of the decade. I think he may be right).
My favourite album artist of the decade would probably be Meshell Ndegeocello: she's released three r'n'b/soul albums and one jazz album during this decade, all of them good or great, and all of them also different from each other.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 12:19 (fifteen years ago) link
It's been a long decade that seems to have gone by very quickly, if that makes sense. It's quite freaky to think that Nixon by Lambchop is from the same decade as Merriweather Post Pavilion, but it also doesn't seem like five minutes since I bought XTRMNTR.

For some reason I've always thought Supreme Clientele is a 1999 album, but Wikipedia says it's from 2000. It came out in January though, maybe that explains it.
