Lately I've been listening to a lot of albums released in these past 10 years and kinda reevaluating all of them I realized it was not so bad after all. I spend the whole decade complaining about how it was not like the 90's and now I suddenly changed my mind. The bad thing was that the greatest bands and albums weren't very popular, at least not in my country, comparing to the 90's.

Here's some of my favourite albums (not exactly in order):

Oasis - Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants

Foo Fighters - In Your Honour

The Killers - Sam's Town

Manic Street Prachers - Send Away The Tigers

The Killers - Hot Fuss

Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul

The Fireman - Electric Arguments

The Strokes - Is This It?

Kings Of Leon - Only By The Night

Doves - The Last Broadcast

Stereophonics - You Gotta Go There To Come Back

Paul McCartney - Memory Almost Full

David Bowie - Heathen

Peter Gabriel - Up

Kaiser Chiefs - Employment

Panic At The Disco - Pretty Odd

Coldplay - Viva La Vida

The Fratellis - Here We Stand

Pearl Jam - Binaural

Stereophonics - Language.Sex.Violence.Other?

Rush - Snakes & Arrows

Lou Reed - Ecstasy

Bob Dylan - Modern Times

Radiohead - Hail To The Thief

Embrace - Out Of Nothing

The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

Deff Leppard - Songs From The Sparkle Lounge

Foo Fighters - Echoes, Silence, Patience And Grace

Muse - Absolution

The Strokes - First Impressions On Earth

Pearl Jam - Backspacer

Porcupine Tree - In Absentia

As far as re-issues & live albums I forgot to mention the great Black Sabbath The Dio Years, which was awesome, & The Clash Live At Shea Stadium, though not my favorite era of the band it's still a great performance at their playing & commercial peak.

Morrissey actually had a big decade. I used to be a huge fan but I haven't bought an album of his since Southpaw Grammar came out in 95. He pissed me off to much after that to buy another album of his. I still listen to my old ones though.
