Alright so I decided to actually look at the list. The following albums are ones I like, ranging from decent to great. Not all deserve to be on this list. Disregarding each album's position, I've put a + next to the ones I feel are deserving of being on a top 100 of decade list. I've put - next to the ones that are decent but not at all the band's best work, and therefore I don't feel they belong on this list. The ones with no marks I don't have strong feelings one way or the other about...but are good enough to be on the list, but not likely to be on my personal top 100 list.
+ Radiohead: Kid A
The White Stripes: Elephant
Beck: Sea Change
+ The White Stripes: White Blood Cells
+ Radiohead: Amnesiac
- Radiohead: In Rainbows
(it's good but not top 100 good, and do we need 4 Radiohead albums on this list? I think not. Hail to the Thief should definitely be dropped first though)
+ PJ Harvey: Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea
System of a Down: Toxicity
TV on the Radio: Dear Science
- Death Cab for Cutie: Transatlanticism
(the album that made me lose interest in them...but it's the style most people like)
+ The Shins: Oh, Inverted World
(I think all 3 of their albums are strong but if only one is to be included, it would be Oh, Inverted World for me)
Franz Ferdinand: Franz Ferdinand
The New Pornographers: Electric Version
- Queens of the Stone Age: Rated R
(features some great tracks but overall it's the one I enjoy least aside from Era Vulgaris)
+ The Postal Service: Give Up
(though it hasn't aged all that well, I liked it a lot at the time and it made an impact this decade)
- Radiohead: Hail to the Thief
(I think it's their worst album, not including Pablo Honey which I've never bothered to listen to)
+ TV on the Radio: Return to Cookie Mountain
Not that anyone cares!
