😍 at both O and Ghosts

Let's see. I feel I might've forgotten an album or two.

2000's:

Linkin Park - Meteora

The Used - The Used

Cradle Of Filth - Nymphetamine

Slipknot - Iowa

2010's:

alt-J - This Is All Yours

Lady Gaga - Born This Way

Take That - Progress(ed)

MARINA - Electra Heart

I can't help that my 2000's is band stuff.

I'm not going to overthink this, I'll just go with the albums that first come to mind as being ones that have a really special place in my heart...

2000s:

Sufjan Stevens - Illinois

The Knife - Silent Shout

Radiohead - Kid A

Damien Rice - O

(Close: Florence + the Machine - Lungs, Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights, Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours, Aimee Mann - Bachelor #2 (Or, The Last Remains Of The Dodo), Ladytron - Witching Hour, Patrick Wolf - Wind In The Wires, Rufus Wainwright - Want One, Scissor Sisters - Scissor Sisters, Siobhan Donaghy - Ghosts, St Germain - Tourist)

2010s:

Lorde - Melodrama

Grimes - Art Angels

Susanne Sundfør - Ten Love Songs

Lana Del Rey - Norman f***ing Rockwell

(Close: Robyn - Body Talk, FKA Twigs - Magdalene, Ben Howard - Every Kingdom, Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma, Aimee Mann - Mental Illness, Kiasmos - Kiasmos, Lady Gaga - Born This Way, Laura Marling - Once I Was An Eagle)

Weirdly I wouldn't say I was obsessed with female pop albums (or alt-pop albums) but my 2010s list is dominated by them

I don't know nearly enough albums from these decades to make a meaningful contribution but just mildly amused that Bjork seems to live in an alternate dimension where there are 5 heads on Mount Rushmore
