Album of the Decade? (2 Viewers)

[Omie Jay]

Above the Weeping World - Insomnium

 

[addikaye03]

Blackwater Park or Watershed by Opeth

 

[Katherwin]

Relationship of Command was a pretty good album.
So was Year Zero.
And one of Porcupine Trees, not sure which one... In Absentia maybe.
The Mars Volta- De-Loused in the Comatorium was good.

But for me personally, the album that defined my decade
Origin of Symmetry- Muse
Admitedly I heard Absolution first, but Origin of Symmetry sold Muse to me. I love it start to finish. Still.
Good decision, buying the CD that day.

relationship command - at the drive in

+1

And Creed would be just hydrogen molecules

Hmm

Highly Evolved by The Vines and Origin of Symmetry by Muse as my favorites of the decade.

Maybe Elephant by White Stripes and Discovery by Daft Punk, long before dance music was cool again.

Just personal favorites

Brand New - The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me would be my personal choice.

 

[katietheskatie]

The Beatles - 1
Backstreet Boys - Black & Blue
Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
Britney Spears - Oops!... I Did It Again
Norah Jones - Come Away With Me
Shakira - Laundry Service
Usher - Confessions

hahahaha fuck

Funeral is the obvious answer, but Agaetis Byrjun by Sigur Rós was just a beautiful album. The pianos and strings across the entire album coupled with the ominous drums (not to mention the beautiful vocals) just make you feel like you've died (it really does). Then when the albums ends, you come out of death and find yourself in post-rock heaven itself.

 

[s-p-a-c-e-d]

that's moreso how ( ) makes me feel...which also happens to be released this decade.

 

[orthentix]

Black Holes and Revelations - Muse
Hot Fuss - The Killers
A Rush of Blood to the Head - Coldplay

Any of these 3.

Edit:

Definately Hot Fuss.

Black Holes and Revelations - Muse
Hot Fuss - The Killers
A Rush of Blood to the Head - Coldplay

Edit:

Definately Hot Fuss.

Just want to say that the notion of Black Holes and Revelations being better than Origins of Symmetry is making me laugh my arse off. Thanks bro.

Another contender:

Tiesto - Kaleidoscope

For the fact that it fuses Indie and Electronic influences, both of which surged in popularity this decade. It may not be the greatest album, or even the most influential. How it covers two major areas of this decades music scene.

Hence, for the same reason, why I earlier listed HORSE the Band...

 

[Tree Friend]

Well, you can't mention electronic without mentioning Daft Punk's Discovery. I'd say that Discovery is definitely in the top 10 biggest albums of the decade, and without a doubt the electronic album of the decade.

 

[Groucho Marxist]

i retract my previous statements

merriweather post pavillion is the album of the decade

well its great

 

[orthentix]

Youre right, Absolution is better, sorry.

i just can't agree with this. the only worthwhile song on that album is the one with jonsi. i dont really care that tiesto got together a whole heap of young indie hipsters, he couldn't pull it off.

to be considered as album of the decade it still has to work as an album, kaleidoscope is just too patchy.

I thought the album had a few really good songs. In particular, in addition to Jonsi, the mixes with Tegan & Sara, and Calvin Harris. I thought he pulled it off quite well. I'm not saying it is the best album this decade, but for me, it still embodied the essence of both the electronic and indie music scene. Which I why I listed it.
