2007 methinks.Just enjoyed it immensely and still listen to a lot of stuff that came out then.

This isn't easy, but I picked 2001 as well for a couple reasons.

1 - Pretty sure this was the year I discovered the almighty mp3, and it opened up a whole new world to me. Started discovering new music left and right...was alot of fun. ><

2 - And then the second of course would be the great albums that were released like:

Daft Punk - Discovery
The Faint - Danse Macabre
Gorillaz - Gorillaz
The Avalanches - Since I Left You
Jay-Z - The Blueprint
Basement Jaxx - Rooty
Lords of Acid - Farstucker
Zao - Zao
311 - From Chaos

I didn't put this on my list because it wasn't in my top 50 of the decade, but I thoroughly enjoyed this in 2001.

2005 takes it for me.

The Sound of Animals Fighting- Tiger and the Duke
Busdriver- Fear of a Black Tangent
The Mars Volta- Frances the Mute
The Mars Volta- Live @ the Electric Ballroom
Circa Survive- Juturna
Why?- Elephant Eyelash
System of a Down-Mezmerize/Hypnotize
Gorillaz- Demon Days
Sigur Ros- Takk
Coheed and Cambria- I'm Burning Star[...]
Tera Melos- S/T

and more goods released that year.
