And the all-but-undisputed number one most critically lauded album of the last ten years is...

1. The Strokes - Is This It

Uncut's 150 Greatest Albums of the 21st Century So Far - 5

NME's Top 100 Albums of the Decade - 1

Word Albums of the Decade - top 10

Q Albums of the Century - 2

Rolling Stone Albums of the Decade - 2

Metacritic.com score - 90

 

That doesn't make it strange. I bought that edition of Q magazine, and was very surprised at some albums they included, such as Kanye West's '808s & Heartbreak', but then again, it is a pretty amazing album. :wub:

 

 

Ok, it surprised me that no Muse albums were included. None from THE band of the decade. Although it looked likethey got celebs to pick the albums by the way they presented it.

inevitably but undeservedly number 1. Ok, it made indie sexy and urgent and fun again but I only like Hard to Explain and Trying Your Luck. The rest is repetative rubbish.

 

 

Well done Wes. :)

176 Laura Marling – Alas, I Cannot Swim

 

Can't believe this is so low :o

 

A pretty uninspired predictable countdown :nocheer:

 

Shame really :P

 

But thanks for doing this :wub:

Suprisingly i own about 15 of those albums.

 

I have to Back to black is a great album, probably my personal fav

I'll be investigating a few of those now. Good reminder of albums that I missed out on during the decade.
