The first 20 or so are lined according to quality, the rest is just alphabetical. I tried to keep it one per artist, although to be frank, I'd also include the other 3 Coldplay albums, White blood cells, Frances the mute, the other two by Franz Ferdinand, another 3 by Of montreal, other two by The shins etc. :\

oh god, this is worse than the NME list! no wonder you didn't think theirs was that bad...

here's some of my favorites from the noughties:
Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein
mclusky - mclusky do dallas
Kayo Dot - Choirs of the Eye
Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun
Old Man Gloom - Christmas
Boris - Akuma No Uta
Agalloch - The Mantle
Queens of the Stone Age - R
Tool - Lateralus
Primal Scream - XTRMNTR
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - No More Shall We Part
Black Moth Super Rainbow - Dandelion Gum

I don't think I have 50 albums, would it work if I put like 20-30 instead?

coldplay, keane and SOAD, really?

Any list of 00's needs Meet Me In St Louis on.

More excuses for the MB nazi's to enforce their superiority over commercialism. How fun. I dont really know the rules so i just made a shortlist of albums, in alphabetical order, some i know would be on a final list and some i know wouldnt but have played such a big part in my musical maturity over the last 10 years from being 15 onwards that they really do need mention.
