Albums of the Year 2000-2020

 


I'm not going to continue with Top Ten lists for 2000-2020. Music became a bit of a mish mash for me in the early years of this century, I'd struggle to make a coherent list for many years. The Internet, downloads and Spotify brought about new musical realities for me and most other people I imagine. Started getting back into new music properly in 2013, when I started this blog and what a good thing that's been for me. So I'm just going to post lists of the top album on the Best Ever Albums list and my own favourite album for each year. Whether I own it or not. Here's the former:

2000 - Radiohead - Kid A

2001 - The Strokes - Is This It?

2002 - Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

2003 - The White Stripes - Elephant
