So those bands don't release anything past 2000?

.

Also, just to elaborate Modest Mouse released their best album, The Moon & Antartica, in 2000. Fiona Apple released her best record in the 2000's. & also I put a parenthesis after Nick Cave that specifically said just his 2000's introspective records.

Oh yes and Radiohead released In Rainbows in 2007.

The title reads "Top 50 Best Musicians/Bands Since 2000" not "albums." So I took it as the bands that formed after 2000, or at least released a debut album in 2000 if their band formed earlier.

Debut is different than an album?

Yes, the main criteria for my article was to feature musicians who have started their careers on or after the year 2000, as a way to display what today's true generation of music has brought. I'm certainly not opposed to this thread taking slightly different directions, though.

D: If he's gonna post a list, he's opening himself up to criticism. E: I never used the word "awful." I just found a couple things that bug me.

Thank you for your concerns. Yes, I would hate to go down the road that many large review sites had of becoming more about propaganda and less about the music. I would, however, like to question your seemingly lack of appreciation of certain genres to the point that you deem all of its artists less worthy than those of other genres. Trust me, I despise much of today's pop music just as much as the next guy, but it does have its merits and can be done right. Every genre of music can be said to have merit (although a strong case can be made against country). Of course, I'm not telling you to like anything that you simply can't get into. As a student of the academic music world for years, though, I will say that opening myself up and dropping pretenses about certain genres did a world of good for me as a listener and composer. Don't take my word as law, this is simply a discussion about what this generation of music has brought us.
