Now that it is 2019 it will soon be time to come up with the top albums of the decade. I was thinking though it is too early to rate albums from this time. How do you compare something just released with something from 9 years ago? Music needs time to settle in your brain and a song that sounds awesome now might become stale in a few years. Jeez I remember when I thought Pretty Fly For a White Guy was the greatest song ever.
From that I decided enough time had passed to rank best albums from the previous decade 2000-2009, the Noughties. Here is a crack at a top 10. Discuss. I might do the 90s next...
Radiohead - Kid A
The White Stripes - White Blood Cells
System of a Down - Toxicity
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
The Streets - A Grand Don't Come for Free
Radiohead - In Rainbows
Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
The Kills - Midnight Boom
