Two releases very unpredictable in nature, but still fairly accessible.

Venetian Snares - Rossz csillag alatt született
Not a huge fan, but I already see this getting a lot of praise.

Ooo good calls underground wise.

The White Stripes - White Blood Cells (2001)
I know not everyone on this site loves this band, but this has to be one of the biggest rock albums of this decade and it also was the first Stripes album that had big mainstream success.

Arcade Fire - Funeral
Certainly the greatest debut album of the 00s.

At The Drive-In - Relationship of Command
This album is just a blinder from start to finish. It has already proved it can stand the test of time since it was released nearly 9 years ago.

Sigur Ros - '()'
Another album that can stand the test of time. It will still sound fresh in another 10 years. The same can be said for all their albums though.

Kings Of Leon - Because Of The Times
I dont like them that much but this album will certainly be remembered in years to come.

Ill think of some more albums later on.

Hmm, I may put Elephant ahead of that, just because of the success of Seven Nation Army and Hardest Button.

Love it to death, my favorite from them, but it doesn't have the commercial appeal that Takk or Agaetis Byrjun have so I'd deem it less likely to be a "classic."

Do classics have to have commercial appeal? For example, I'd say Suicide's first album is a classic but I don't know how much commercial appeal it's ever had, especially not when it came out back in 77.

I'm hoping this:

Lift To Experience get's the credit it deserves. Phenomenal album.

They don't have to be mainstream albums. A lot of albums will be cult classics in years to come remember.
