Mastodon - Leviathan

um

arcade fire - funeral
björk - homogenic
daft punk - alive 2007
eels - electro shock blues
moby - play
morcheeba - dive deep
rolling stones - forty licks
röyksopp - the understanding
stereophonics - you gotta go there to come back

can't think of a 10th atm.

Homogenic was 1999, no? And Electro-Shock Blues was 1998. Both great albums, though.

Quote from spankmeyer :

Iowa? Really? I'd say that's by far the weakest Slipknot album.

An Horse - Rearrange Beds



Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Baby 81



Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism



The Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely



Tegan and Sara - So Jealous



Wolfmother - Wolfmother



Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever to Tell

Oh forbin great work on Death Cab for Cutie. I have been hooked on them for years. there really are too many amazing albums from the past 10 years. You a fan of Modest Mouse? I like thier early stuff

I just found them recently and fell in love instantly. I had a really tough time deciding between Transatlanticism, Plans, and Narrow Stairs.

I never liked Modest Mouse. I understand the poor singing is part of their aesthetic, but it just doesn't ring true with me.

In no particular order:




Dragonforce - Sonic Firestorm



Lamb of God - Sacrement



Iron Maiden - A Matter Of Life And Death



Turisas - The Varangian Way



System Of A Down - Toxicity



Strapping Young Lad - The New Black



Machine Head - The Blackening



Slipknot - Vol 3: The Subliminal Verses



Kiuas - The New Dark Age



Pyramaze - Legend Of The Bone Carver

Have you listened to The postal service?

Yeah, they're too electronic for me.

This was tough and I could be out on a few of them as I was going by Amazons release dates

I think I made a pretty good list. Base on my theory that if it sounds good i'll listen to it. So many bands left off just as they were a few years out - I know, looking at the list it's pretty mainstream stuff, oh well. The obsuce stuff I have was not released in 2000 - 2009


E - A Man Called E (lead singer of eels)

The Go Team - Thunder Lighting Strike

Pendulum - Hold Your Colour

Oasis - Definatley Maybe

David Grey - White Ladder

Bic Runga - Beautiful Colision

Badly Drawn Boy - The Hour of Bewilderbiest

The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free

LostProphets - Start Something

Antony And the Johnsons - Antony And the Johnsons

This is very hard question, but here are some...

anything from Porcupine Tree, best band from recent years for me
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing


Porcupine Tree - Fear Of A Blank Planet + Nil Recurring EP


Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun


Opeth - Watershed


Opeth - Damnation


Zombi - Cosmos


Zombi - Surface to Air


Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory


Vargsang - Call of the Nightwolves


Nevermore - This Godless Endeavor

Damn, this is hard. I thought about it for 30 minutes and now have 40 albums by 30 different bands.

Time to narrow it down a bit.

10 years isn't long enough either.

Yeah 10 years made me realize a lot of my CD's are over 10 years old lol.
However, from within that time period...

Radiohead - Hail to the Thief - Their best album imho of the last 10 years anyway

UNKLE - War Stories - UNKLE's work is fairly unknown, but you have probably heard his tracks used on TV shows, i know Top gear has used tracks off both the albums i've listed here

Kool Keith - Black Elvis/Lost in space

UNKLE - End titles:Stories for film

thats all i can think of...for now busy at work. Muse is also there but i can't decide which album is my personal favourite. VAST would also rate a mention.

eh....

any of jay -z 's stuff

Afroman... waiting to inhale


again anything by stereophonics...


ive seriously too much music to pick form, thats just off then top of my head.

In no particular order.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication
Fear Factory - Digimortal
Jesu - Conquerer
Mindless Self Indulgence - Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy
Slayer - Christ Illusion
Drowning Pool - Sinner
Tenacious D - Tenacious D
Tool - Lateralus
Serj Tankian - Elect The Dead
Rammstein - Mutter

10 years isn't enough, 10 albums isn't enough.

I could name 100 brilliant albums that I can't resist playing when I see the album just sitting there all lonely waiting to be heard... This is a small selection of my favorites covering many of the genres I enjoy.

Alternative / Rock


2) Genitorturers - Machine Love
