i don't think i could do singles. these are the albums that come to mind when i think of records i truly loved from this decade:

Maybe the 00s was a bad decade for serious cat serious music.

Oy. I guess I can't say "most," but I sure hate a lot of 60s music.

Based on the short list from my computer:
The Rants—Get Back Into ItAaliyah—s/tDabenport—s/tEl Guapo—Super/SystemDeadly Snakes—Ode to JoyExploding Hearts—Guitar RomanticMIA—KalaTV on the Radio—Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty BabesA Frames—s/tIndian Jewelery—Invasive ExoticsNomo—Ghost Rock
No doubt some more jazz and punk when I go through my physical albums.

Yea, Exploding Hearts! That disc needs some love in these decade-end lists. (Nomo's good, too)
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 29 May 2009 00:31 (fifteen years ago) link
The 00's were awesome, partially because of the influx of DIY that the indie explosion & internet created.. DIY probably increased more this decade than any since the 70s. (Maybe i'm wrong, but thats how it looks to me)
― billstevejim, Friday, 29 May 2009 00:54 (fifteen years ago) link
i'm happy mclusky was loved.. i tried pushing it on lots of kids, but nobody i know seemed to care.
― billstevejim, Friday, 29 May 2009 00:55 (fifteen years ago) link
word. and the fact that i put them so high on my list would suggest that i'm not a "serious cat" all of the time. :)
and daniel, i hate a lot of 60s music too. but the stuff i truly love from that era gets the nod over a lot of the stuff on my 00s list
― Charlie Howard, Friday, 29 May 2009 01:19 (fifteen years ago) link
good thing about these threads is I get reminded of things, I forgot that Boredoms VCN was from '00. I think Indian Jewelry's Free Gold should probably be in my top 25 as well.

Is it really, really weird for anybody else seeing all this music (that seem to come out so recently too!) getting rounded up together finally?
I was too young to go through this with the entire 1990s so this is my first "wow, I can't believe this decade is almost over and I remember all of this" decade.
― Cunga, Sunday, 14 June 2009 07:47 (fourteen years ago) link
Yes, it's incredibly weird. That said, after getting annoyed having a genuine argument with someone who refused to believe anything other than "music was better in the sixties", I am quite enjoying making lists of fucking amazing music i love from this decade.

I'm just as guilty as everyone else for not mentioning him enough here but Ludacris needs to be remembered when we come round to doing this properly. Two of the best albums and like a million great singles. Think votes might get split by trying to figure out whether Southern Hospitality is better than Saturday is better than P Poppin is better than YOOOOOOOOOOOOUS A HOOOOOOOOO is better than Act A Fool is better than etc. Did we ever do a Luda singles poll?
― b!tchass, birdchested bastard sees a dude bigger than he (a hoy hoy), Saturday, 20 June 2009 13:36 (fourteen years ago) link
"What's Your Fantasy" is in my top 10 singles of the decade, and Back For The First Time is probably in my top 100 albums, but he peaked pretty early and hasn't really been that consistent. "Southern Hospitality" and "Move" and a couple non-remix guest spots are classics for me, but he's got like 20 singles that are garbage too.
