Battle of the 2000s Albums

vic_orthdox · 17-02-2009, 10:05 PM

Thought last night while I couldn't get to bed that this would be worth having. Many of us are under the age of 25, and thus don't have the extensive knowledge of others of albums of earlier periods. But most, if not all, of the members who have an interest in music have a good knowledge and an opinion on most music over the past 9 years or so, and as we near the end of the decade it would be worth conducting this poll.

So, for starters, everyone gets 8 nominations, and 8 secondings. At this stage, any album that receives a second is through to the draw.

Nominate:

Streets, The - A Grand Don't Come For Free
Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
Kings of Leon - Aha Shake Heartbreak
Strokes, The - Is This It?

Do we have to follow the CW rules of music coolness to participate?

Probably.

Top_Cat · 17-02-2009, 10:18 PM

Just gets in but I nominate System of a Down's 'Toxicity'.

NZTailender · 17-02-2009, 10:47 PM

Would love to nominate Go! by Perth band Cartman, as it's one of the best pop-rock albums I've ever heard, but I doubt anyone here is familiar with it, so I will nominate:

Since I Left You - The Avalanches
Lullabies to Paralyse - Queens of the Stone Age
Era Vulgaris - Queens of the Stone Age
Songs for the Deaf - Queens of the Stone Age
Speakerboxxx/The Love Below - Outkast
Strange Bird - Augie March
The Cat Empire - The Cat Empire
Rooty - Basement Jaxx
