This is a music thread so I have to get involved. But I have no idea.
Er, Jimmy Edgar (that was this year)
A Human, that was good.
!!! did some brill albums and I can't say which was best
And that LCD Soundsystem lot
and er, Atmosphere, TV On the Radio (already been mentioned), something RichPenny said. The Radiohead remix album was triffic.
Amy frickin Whingebag? Are you having a laff? Just cos shes dead? Dirivite turd.
So, never post on a music thread when you've been out for you brother's brithday, it can only end badly.
Glitch Mob, Suuns, Queen (joke), Trentemoller. Alex Smoke.
Them and some others.
Lodious, right now it would be either some Joe Bonamassa or some Blackstone Cherry. 😉
omfg you lot have got **** all taste in musicbest album of the 2000s was
Marbles by Marillion
I have impeccable taste in music. However, I haven't heard anything by Marillion since Fish left, so I can't form any opinion on what they do now.
I think you'll have to do better than one album by a band whose heyday was twenty-odd years ago. 🙂
In no order (and subject to change on a whim).
Belle & Sebastian - Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant
The Imagined Village - The Imaged Village (or Bending The Dark)

The Hold Steady - Separation Sunday
Jim White - Drill a Hole in That Substrate and Tell Me What Uou See

Probably others too (from David Ford, TV on the Radio and others), but those are the ones that leap out when I look at what's on my mp3 player.
Frost* - Milliontown.
Magenta - Metamorphosis.
It Bites - The Tall Ships.
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing. (Fear of a Blank Planet - is a close second).
+1 marillion
+1 funeral for a friend too.
Tom Waits - Alice
A great album, but way earlier - 1990 from memory
I managed a record shop in 2002 when Alice officially was released, if I remember correctly most of the album was heavily bootlegged after original recordings had been stolen/leaked in the mid 1990s. It didn't sell as well on official release as we hoped for that reason. Cracking album though.

i once saw porcupine tree play the whole of the up the downstair album to eight people in a small venue in carlisle.

Not going to regurgitate a lot of what has been said, but I add

The Raconteurs - broken boy soldiers
Starsailor - Love is here
Livertines - Up the bracket
Editors - The back room
We are Scientists - With Love and Squalor
Three things I've learned from this thread.
1) I'm old.
2) I don't listen to enough music any more.
3) STW's music tastes consists of a) obscure niche gubbins no-one's ever heard of, and b) radio-friendly shite.
where is the middle ground between a and b then old timer?
The post I've come closest to identifying with is this,
right now it would be either some Joe Bonamassa or some Blackstone Cherry.
I actually cheered quietly to myself when I read it and everything. But then, the last thing I listened to was Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'Gods and Guns' album, so I'm probably not one to talk.
where is the middle ground between a and b then old timer?
's a very good question. I don't know as I've got a very good answer.
Just struck me that the bulk seems to be either stuff *everyone* listens to or stuff *no-one* listens to. It's either the Arctic Monkeys, or it's Brian Smith and his Magic Foo-Foo Band. There didn't seem, on skim-reading, to be a lot of middle ground.
Richard Hawley - Lady's Bridge & Coles Corner
Mew - And the glass handed kites
The National - High Violet
The Shins - Wincing the night away
Coldplay - Parachutes
Muse - Origin of Symmetry
The Strokes - Is This It?
Kings of Leon - Aha Shake Heartbreak
Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
Grinderman - Grinderman
Goldfrapp - Black Cherry
CSS - CSS
Justice - Cross
The Libertines - The Libertines
Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
Daft Punk - Discovery
Dizzee Rascal - Boy In Da Corner
Jay Z - The Black Album
LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
Sigur Ross - Takk
Damien Rice - O
Gorillaz - Demon Days
Etc.
Basically I can't choose. "Since 2000" is almost the whole of my musical experience, there's been a lot in that time.
There is quite a lot of dross here... Coldplay, in any list?!
And I realise this is subjective, but
Kings of Leon - Only by the night
..incorrect. Youth and Young Manhood, or possibly Aha Shake Heartbreak, definitely better.
This
Jay Z - The Black Album
good call.
Arctic Monkeys - whatever people say I am thats what I'm not
Correct. Such a good album. Shame the rest of their stuff doesn't live up to it at all.
Cannibal Ox - [i]The Cold Vein[/i]. Out in 2001, would be a cert for top 5 hip hop album of the decade. Of its time, though.
At the drive in, [i]Relationship of Command[/i] squeaks in to the decade (2000) - mentioned already by Margin Walker above. Reading the thread I can't see any hard rock album that comes near it. The Pixies of the OOies.
The Mars Volta sounded like they were going to take it even further, but it all went pear-shaped. Jazz will do that to a rock band.
Gogol Bordello - Gypsy Punk
King-ocelot - MemberTom Waits - Alice
A great album, but way earlier - 1990 from memoryI managed a record shop in 2002 when Alice officially was released, if I remember correctly most of the album was heavily bootlegged after original recordings had been stolen/leaked in the mid 1990s. It didn't sell as well on official release as we hoped for that reason. Cracking album though.
I Googled, and stand corrected. I would have bet good money on the Alice / Blood Money releases being ten years earlier that this, and I'm a fan (as my user name will show)...must be getting old... 🙂
Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Gorillaz - Demon Days
Frank Ocean - Channel Orange
Jezabels - Prisoner
Blackalicious - The Craft
Ben Howard - Every Kingdom

AlanF... thankyou... you win
QOTSA ... Songs for the deaf
This is a music thread. On STW. Everyone HAS to have a favourite which is suitably obscure.
I'd say it is all terribly mainstream...
Crystal Castles 1 or XX and Animal Hospital, Memory. just because.
Loads of great bands on this thread 😀
fat of the land released 1997.
Thought I was in Retrobike then. OOPS! 😳
bill callahan - sometimes i wish i were an eagle
Santigold - Santogold
I think you'll have to do better than one album by a band whose heyday was twenty-odd years ago
Alot of fans see their "heyday" as you put it as one of the least credible musical periods in Marillion's career, I'm one of them.
Just struck me that the bulk seems to be either stuff *everyone* listens to or stuff *no-one* listens to. It's either the Arctic Monkeys, or it's Brian Smith and his Magic Foo-Foo Band. There didn't seem, on skim-reading, to be a lot of middle ground.
Sorry Cougar but you couldn't be more wrong - just because you haven't heard of them doesn't mean they are particularly obscure - most of the stuff people have listed is played on 6 music , posted about on widely read music blogs etc.
Why don't you listen to some of the albums people have listed above and see what you think?
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a blank planet
Steven Wilson - Grace for drowning
Avenged Sevenfold - City of evil
Pain of Salvation - Memory Lane
Beardfish - Destined Solitaire
Transatlantic - SMTPe
Tomahawk - Tomahawk
Bumblefoot - The adventures of bumblefoot
Muse - Origins of symmetry
Jonny Lang - Wander this world
QOTSA - Songs for the deaf
etc

Yeah, liked a couple of tracks off it but a bit too commercial for me in places. Have you heard Momentum yet, Morse's new solo stuff? Excellent CD with guests from Paul Gilbert and a 33 min epic as well!
