Great albums of the 2000s?

scaramanga said:
This thread just goes to show how badly music fell off a cliff towards the end of the 90s.

There are some decent, albums on here that I suspect none of us would be ashamed to have been involved in. But the standard is so far below that of the 90s.

I'm now going to thoroughly contradict myself by putting forward:

Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea
White Blood Cells
The Black Album
Songs in A Minor
Late Registration
Boy in da Corner (not really my thing in terms of style, but I recognise it for the good album that it is)

Very US-heavy decade in terms of the top albums I think. Certainly compared to the 90s.

I'd second the PJ Harvey album.

I met Tom in the summer randomly having breakfast at our local beefeater ... got a photo with him and my daughter (2 at the time so well confessed).

Really nice bloke talking about the home coming gig to celebrate wining the league which was fine until I told him I was Spurs... he was a little embarrassed as he said we were the best footballing side but it ain't always about being the most technical, "just ask Oasis"

Apologies -may have strayed into 2010's, with a couple of those, wasn't sure if you were going 21st century or strictly in decades still.

There's a lot of recent EDM/FutureBass/GlitchHop/Trap that I like, and if in album form might be worthy of a mention, - e.g Shawn Wasabi/TheFatRat/ABSRDST - but they tend not to produce albums but individual tracks and remixes.

We're not talking 1970s or 1950s bad, but it's pretty fudgeing bad.

What's scaring me is that this decade has been significantly worse so far.

Fo me the 70"'s were full of great albums, Floyd, Spingsteen, Led Zep, Fleetwood Mac, Sabbath, Dylan, Neil Young etc. 50's not so much though.

That was pretty much all a sound created in the late 60s though. That sound was refined and improved, but I don't consider it a 70s sound.

70s music that has its roots in the 70s is pretty fudging awful.

Other than ABBA, of course.

Well that bit is a good point which i can agree with, however there is a opinion that the birth of Punk helped a stagnent music scene wake up again and brought life back to it. I was never a fan of the Sex Pistols but Sid Viscous and his version of My Way helped stick a middle finger up the arse of a very complacent music order.

That was a shame - I think they are touring December with the original line up - am thinking of going. Did you ever support anyone famous?

Nah... we were the laziest band in the world. People used to joke that the Beatles would gig before us

Did support a band called Rubylux who were. I've lads and I'm the way up. Also supported white belt yellow tag who are now part of editors (Justin Loxley).

We mainly headlined locally to deceeng crowds but just got the point where it became an effort

Did get to open the local river festival which for at sound a lot but it's the largest free festival in Europe with 250,000 a day and we played probably to about 20,000

We did have some record companies sniffinga round and made a big error when we won a local comp and one of the judges was a music photographer who works with the mega bands. He thought we were great and said we reminded him of the killers when they started. He was chatty and told us to pop into his shop for some contacts.... we went to the pub instead to watch a Spurs game

At least you got you priorities right. fudge fame, stardom, and riches beyond your imagination. They're overrated.

We did get paid about £400 a gig

But we worked it out when we were offered a record contract that we would need a £500k deal just To make it work
 
If you like bands like Joy Division or Interpol check out a band called October Drift... brilliant band and amazing live

Genuinely hope these guys make it

There must be a few of us on here who were in bands/made music. We could start a thread where we can upload our music for a laugh; a kind of GG Factor. I'd start it, but someone will need to tell me how to upload a track?

Great energy. I like a bit of glamorous indie rock'n'roll ! (There's no escaping the internet) You had a good band there. I think there are a few musicians on this forum. Perhaps we should have jam session...

Can I mention Motown? yes the label started before the 70s, and yes they had lots of hits in the 60s...but as far as a sound is concerned, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye released several albums in the 70s that were of that decade'
