Let your library speak for you
A lot of people are bashing the 2000's, but I ask your library to speak for itself. I looked it up and 50.037% of my 4049 songs are from the 2000s, 64 of which come from Outkast (though I'd say Arcade Fire has been my favourite act of the last decade with an average of 30 plays per song from Funeral and Neon Bible). It seems likely that judging by my list my favourite decade has been the 2000's... and that's possible, but not extremely likely.
Regardless, my question is a simple one: How much of your library is made up of songs from the 2000s? If many, which artist or band has the most songs from the decade and is this your favourite act in the last ten years?

Well, I have no idea how to figure out percentage. But a big amount of my music comes from the 00s. Animal Collective, Mice Parade, Kimya Dawson, Beck, and MF Doom all have very big showings in my library, though only Kimya Dawson and AC have exclusively released stuff in this decade. These are most certainly some of my favorites, though I don't know what my favorite act of the decade would be.

I already have my library separated into playlists, tho I never thought your playlist was the ultimate judging tool.
But here goes [excluding the previous decades, cause I have less than 10 albums in all of them]: 60s >>>> 34 Artists - 88 Albums - 1156 songs 70s >>>> 34 Artists - 98 Albums - 1048 songs 80s >>>> 19 Artists - 48 Albums - 517 songs 90s >>>> 24 Artists - 48 Albums - 768 songs 00s >>>> 41 Artists - 67 Albums - 805 songs Sorry to disappoint you, 00s are third in my list, and only are 18,3% of my Library. My Library has Spoken !

Good idea, but the flaw of it is a lot of my "90s" songs are from greatest hits or reissues/remastered albums. The percentage of albums of new material originally released in the 90's will have a much lower percentage.
48% or 3,285 songs I do own the Kings of Leon's entire discography to include two live EPs (72 songs or 2%) |

( meant to CaptainCaptain)^ I just remembered that!
241 songs (5 albums) from the 90s in my Library are actually The Beatles Anthology I - II - III, plus some other Beatles releases. Still don't influence the 00s in any way, but only shows how much I don't listen to 90s music (which I'm feeling now that it's much of a flaw) PLUS: We all had much more songs from the previous decades, but who had any computer to save all his songs then. If I want to count the scattered CDs and K7s, I think I should add more than a thousand to my library. The 00s are the decade we are living in, everything is easier to have if it is from this specific decade. And all artists, if known for a month or a year, are going to be heard. It's not like I'm searching for a pop star who only got a single hit in the 80s.
