Are we counting 2000 as part of the '00s? We already had that whole retarded semantics debate over whether it does, so just to be clear I am going to go ahead and assume we are counting it.

I'm basically just going to sort all the albums I have in Winamp by year and go through all the ones that I really liked. Probably going to be a long list! I'd consolidate it to just a few albums I REALLY REALLY liked, but the reasons I like different groups or albums are always so varied it's hard to actually pin down which ones I like above the rest. Still, this is only a fraction of the music I have anyway.

Radiohead - Kid A
The Decemberists - The Hazards of Love
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet
Opeth - Damnation
Amon Tobin - Out From Out Where
Sigur Rós - Takk...

Many emo bands have came to mainstream in the 00s, but at least, we got some nice albums ;)

Kala and Arular were both great albums from my girl M.I.A. I also really liked Guns Don't Kill People...Lazers Do by Major Lazer. Also everything by Balkan Beat Box is incredibly listenable all the time.
