So I am not ready to officially make this list yet, but while doing my research I realized how bad this decade sucks for music.  Well it didn’t really suck, but it was mired in mediocrity.  The bands that will make up my top 10 aren’t even in the same class or league as the top 10 albums of the 90’s.  To be perfectly honest the top 20-30 albums of the 90’s are maybe equal to the top 10 of the naughts.

Who was our Nirvana Nevermind?  Who was our R.E.M. Out of Time or Automatic for the People?  Who was our Oasis Definitely Maybe or Whats the Story Morning Glory?  Who was our U2?  Who was our Foo Fighters?  One of the best Pedro the Lion albums came out in 98′.  The best Foo Fighters was from the 90’s.  My favorite Juliana Theory album came out in 1999.  Radiohead killed it in the 90’s with The Bends and OK Computer, two of the best albums of all time in my opinion.  And still think about the albums from Green Day, Bush, Alanis Morissette, Hole, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden…I could go on and on. Most of these were just the first that came to my head when thinking about good music from the 90’s.

Maybe time will change my opinion of the 2000’s.  There have been a ton of albums I really love come out, but when I compare them to the past they just don’t hold their weight.  My goal with my top 10 list of the 2000’s will be albums that stood the test of time and will still sound good to me in 10 years.  That cuts out a lot of albums that I loved from 2002-2006…emo will never…nevermind.  Oh yeah and I forgot to list Pinkerton and the Blue Album.  Shame on me.
