- Why does Beck’s Sea Change end up on all these lists? I’d much rather listen to him in a good mood.

- I’m not sure I get all the love for Wilco. YHF is yet another album that is supposed to be a “classic” and “really important” but found it’s way off my MP3 player in a day or two. Listening to it is like watching Citizen Kane… something I did once so I could say that I did it and I will never do again.

- LCD Soundsystem should be MUCH higher.

- Finally, I’d argue that Stankonia could be number one. I’m far from the first to say it, but if OutKast weren’t rappers this album would be impossible to classify and would get even more kudos than it does now.

() by Sigur Ros was much beter than their newest release…… which is extremly anti climactic in my opinion. The first couple songs are amazing, as is the rest of the album, but the first couple songs are super high energy while the rest of the album tucks you into bed. () is really epic, as is the angel fetus album…… but that’s not a 2000 album.

Where was Glassjaw’s “Worship and Tribute” 2001? another highly influential record.

The Deftones’ self titled album and White Pony helped me survive high school……. high up on my list.

Dredg’s El Cielo ……. one of the most epic concept albums ever in my opinion.

Radiohead’s In Rainbows would have been up in the top 10 on my list. Bjork would be much higher too.

The Mars Volta “Deloused in the Comatorium – 2003″…….. Perfect Circle “Mer de Noms – 2000″

Mastodon’s “Crack The Skye”

There are a lot of albums out there to chose from, and everyone has their own opinion….. which is great. Everyone’s list would look different………… but seriously, NO TOOL???????

…….. It is a Paste magazine top 50….. that explains it.

I’m not sure about The Avett Brothers. Granted, I haven’t given them too much listening time. I and Love and You did not grab me at first listen. It sounds like maybe I should listen to an earlier album.

It’s nice to see another Decemberists fan on the board. The Crane Wife is so dang good.

I remember liking The Strokes’ Is This It when it came out but it’s hard to believe that it made the top 50. Have a I mentioned Vampire Weekend? That still burns.

By my count, the Avetts have 2 albums better than I and Love and You, though it is very good.

“Goo” said the rest better than I could.

Would personally rank Bjork much higher.

I’ve already made my little list but I’ve also realized that I forgot Bauhaus’s Go Away White. Fantastic album; alieneted some fans by being a bit funner than Bauhaus is usually known for. But it’s a great album and any album with a song titled “Endless Summer of the Damned” is good by me.
