So when we're gonna this for real, can we start a new thread?

Yes but ONLY if YOU tell us your top tens SO FAR here. :)

I don't care for much for albums and I haven't even listened to many this decade, so I guess I shouldn't even bother. Fav singles then (in no particular order)...

Britney Spears - Toxic
Girls Aloud - Biology
Sally Shapiro - He Keeps Me Alive
Goldfrapp - Utopia
Kelis - Milkshake

03 T.I.”What You Want”

I mean "What You Know" ..

Scott Walker - The Drift
Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
A Mountain of One - Collected Works
Cut Copy - Bright Like Neon Love
Hot Snakes - Suicide Invoice
Bang on a Can - Renegade Heaven
Katamari Fortissimo Damacy

I read that too quickly as Snakes on a Can.

'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.

Nice to see Fever Ray on someone's list already, despite being so new. It'll def be on mine.

This is a preliminary off the dome rough draft of sorts, albums only, can't remember all the singles becuase i'm too stoned...

01. Madvillain - Madvillainy
02. Radiohead - Kid A
03. The Notwist - Neon Golden
04. Cunninlynguists - A Piece of Strange

08. Erykah Badu - Mama's Gun
09. Brand New - Deja Entendu
10. Electric Wizard - Dopethrone

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 - britney
never leave you (uh ooh) - lumidee
baby boy - beyonce
digital love - daft punk
music - madonna
get ur freak on - missy elliott
the streets - original pirate material
drop it like it's hot - snoop dogg

wait (the whisper song) - yin yang twins

top 10 albums:

snoop dogg - r&g
jay z - black album
dr. dre - chronic 2001
voodoo - d'angelo
sambass 1&2 (brazilian drum and bass comp) <--- counts as one cause i bought them at the same time
ludacris - word of mouf
postal service - give up
kanye west - college dropout
kanye west - graduation
kanye 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.

Nas, "Made You Look"

def

Yep--I love it.

This is a great thread. It's gotten me into some awesome music I've never heard before.

The short radio edit to be specific.

Oh fuck, cut the above No. 10 single and put Brandy ft. Kanye West, "Talk About Our Love" in at 8th. I knew I forgot something.

I like DustyLoops' list--very congruent group of records.

Albums, not in order

Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
Radiohead - Kid A
N*E*R*D - In Search Of
Queens of the Stone Age - Songs For The Deaf
LCD Soundsystem - Sound Of Silver
Rufus Wainwright - Want One

Artists of the decade is also an interesting thread topic. Kanye and Craig Finn! Good Nos. 1 -- 2. No GhostFace?

(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.

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.

"Hot Snakes - Suicide Invoice"

Yes

Albums:

1. Scott Walker - The Drift
2. Panda Bear - Person Pitch
3. Pinback - Summer In Abaddon
4. Bjork - Medulla
5. Ghostface Killah - Supreme Clientele
6. Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun
7. Jim O'Rourke - Insignificance
8. The New Pornographers - Twin Cinema
9. The Microphones - The Glow Pt. 2
10. Kanye West - The College Dropout

Singles:

1. Sebastien Tellier - La Ritournelle
2. Cassie - Me&U
3. Phoenix - Too Young
4. Amerie - Why Don't We Fall In Love?
5. Broken Social Scene - 7/4 (Shoreline)
6. Ludacris - Southern Hospitality
7. Kanye West - Flashing Lights
8. Feist - One Evening
9. Cat Power - He War
10. The Bug ft. Warrior Queen - Poison Dart

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.

I'm sure I'll be obsessively revising these lists for the next few months, but for now this is what I'll go with:

ALBUMS
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - The Tyranny of Distance
Jay-Z - The Blueprint
Spymob - Sitting Around Keeping Score
Say Anything - ...Is A Real Boy
Sonic Youth - Murray Street
Apollo Sunshine - Apollo Sunshine
T.I. - Trap Muzik
Enon - Believo!
Erykah Badu - New Amerykah Part One: 4th World War
Lil Wayne - Tha Carter II

SINGLES
Kelly Clarkson - "Since U Been Gone"
R. Kelly - “Step In The Name of Love” (Step remix)
Ludacris - "What's Your Fantasy?"
Jay-Z f/ Pharrell - "I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)"
Three 6 Mafia f/ Young Buck and 8Ball & MJG - "Stay Fly"
Amerie - "1 Thing"
Twista featuring Kanye West and Jamie Foxx - “Slow Jamz”
Chop Suey! - System of a Down
Mya - "Case of the Ex"
Dr. Dre f/ Snoop Dogg and Nate Dogg - "The Next Episode"

4. Amerie - Why Don't We Fall In Love?

^^^man i loved this but it seems sooooooooo long ago. this decade seems incredibly confusing.

i dunno...i think decades are always kind of vast and hugely varied when you look at them through the lens of something that moves as quickly as pop music.

Yeah but it's the first one I've really lived through and paid intense attention to for the whole time.

hmm, nobody's mentioned dylan yet. modern times would probably make mine. love and theft in contention too.

This is a preliminary off the dome rough draft of sorts, albums only, can't remember all the singles becuase i'm too stoned...

01. Madvillain - Madvillainy
02. Radiohead - Kid A
03. The Notwist - Neon Golden
04. Cunninlynguists - A Piece of Strange
05. Reflection Eternal - Train of Thought
06. Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
07. Edan - Beauty and the Beat
08. Erykah Badu - Mama's Gun
09. Brand New - Deja Entendu
10. Electric Wizard - Dopethrone

shit, seeing brand new on this list puts me on this crazy trip; i'm very familiar with the record, being a 15 years old when that came out. for a lot of reasons, i can't really deal with emo at all anymore, but i feel like that was one of the records that at least did it right.

Reflection Eternal would be probably in my top 20

argh ten is SO HARD for albums. It was tough getting down from 25.

Charalambides - Likeness
Nurse With Wound - Huffin' Rag Blues
Fiery Furnaces - Blueberry Boat
Kate Bush - Aerial
Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 - Bob Dinners
Coil - Ape Of Naples
Sun City Girls - Hi Asia/lo Pacific
Biota - Half A True Day
OOIOO - Gold & Green
Panda Bear - Person Pitch

kills me to leave out great albums by Eyvind Kang, Es, Mum, Volcano The Bear, etc.

top five singles maybe are

A-Frames - Neutron Bomb
LCD Soundsystem - Losing My Edge
Missy Elliot - Work It
Johnny Boy - You Are The Generation...
Pixeltan - Get Up/Say What

ship good lookin out on tha carter II

What's are the big canon mixtapes of the decade? Da Drought III, 50 Cent Is The Future and We Got It For Cheap 2? Anything else?

and what are the big canon mixes of the decade? i'm totally out of my depth there, but michael mayer's fabric mix is one of my favorite things.

i'm not totally sure about C2 in top 10, most likely to be bumped down the list later on.

only mixtapes i would think about maybe putting in the list over their companion albums are one of Kanye's pre-College Dropout tapes and Jadakiss's Kiss My Ass. but then i'm kind of virulantly anti-mixtapes-equal-albums stuff.
