What albums either inspired you or made such an impact on your life that whenever anyone mentions the 00's, you'd go straight to/think of that album? Which ones had a huge cultural impact?

 

I have a list that I'll put together later. But I'm intrigued to see everyone's favourites.

I wasn't really listening to albums out of choice back in the 00's, however a few I remember listening to at the time!

 

Christina Aguilera - Stripped

Duffy - Rockferry

Paolo Nutini - Sunny Side Up

Adele - 19

Lady Gaga - The Fame

Amy Winehouse - Back To Black

Florence + The Machine - Lungs

Black Eyed Peas - The E.N.D.

Mika - Life in Cartoon Motion

Scissor Sisters - Ta-Dah

 

And despite not being released that decade, ABBA: Gold was pretty defining for me thanks to the Mamma Mia hype in 2008-2010 and The Essential Michael Jackson due to his death in 2009.

Pink-I’m Not Dead

Anastacia-Anastacia

Dido-Life For Rent

Maroon 5-Songs About Jane

Duffy-Rockferry

Arctic Monkeys-Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not

KT Tunstall-Eye To The Telescope

Orson-Bright Idea

Kate Bush-Aerial

My favourites:

 

Delta Goodrem - Innocent Eyes

Delta Goodrem - Mistaken Identity

Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway

Colbie Caillat - Coco

The Corrs - Borrowed Heaven

Lady Gaga - The Fame Monster

Shakira - Laundry Service

Christina Aguilera - Stripped

The Veronicas - The Secret Life Of...

Carrie Underwood - Some Hearts

Sarah McLachlan - Afterglow

Vanessa Amorosi - The Power

Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten

Take That - Beautiful World

KT Tunstall - Eye To The Telescope

Florence + The Machine - Lungs

 

Stripped definitely had a huge cultural impact. I'd argue that that album along with Justin Timberlake's Justified plus P!nk's Missundaztood (which came out the year before but was more dominant in 2002) and Britney's Britney (also 2001) all transformed the pop landscape. It feels like the 90s pop sound/the bubblegum era actually ended in late 2001/during 2002 and became more beat-driven and R&B or rock influenced afer that, partly due to these albums.

 

Breakaway really perfected the pop/rock genre too, and was pretty influential on that sub-section of music.

 

Beautiful World was influential in that it opened the door for just about every old pop band to stage a comeback, often with a mature sound.

 

Delta's two albums are just perfect :wub: They may not have changed music, but they definitely had a major impact on my life.

Edited by gooddelta

Take Thats Beautiful World was a big defining moment and for me Kylies Lights Years aswell, both were significant comeback albums that set both up with longevity and a hugely successful decade.
