I neverbsaid I hated modern pop. In fact, given her popularity, Carly Rae Jespen would be a great choice. Some total teen pop HATERS I know called Emotion the best album of the year, so that's damn impressive. Plus, I liked Kiss. I'm not saying leave out modern pop in general. I'm just saying not Lady Gaga, Beaver Boy (not on your list, but just saying), and others. As far as a combo of quality and popularity goes, Adele's another solid choice of yours. Same with Winehouse. Teen pop's getting a little better, and I honestly think Jespen's one of the best of her scene.

Gotcha. I agree that Jespen is definitely one of the better ones of her contemporaries. Her melodic intrigue is far greater than most. I'd like to see her take more musical risks in the future, but she is one to listen to for sure. I'm glad that you like my inclusion of Adele. Speaking of the combo of quality and popularity, I think the band that has the best ratio of that in this generation is Arcade Fire. Incredible music with an incredible following.

You kidding? They're at the top of my new millenium list no doubt. Funeral is the best album of the 2000's.

Is this artist that released music in 00-16 or artist that started in 00-16 I'm thinking the later right

Top 10 for sure, I'd go so far to say Neon Bible is top 3 of the 2000's.

Neon Bible over Funeral? I'm sorry, but I have yet to see a pig with wings.

Neon Bible > Funeral > Reflektor > The Suburbs

Funeral>The Suburbs>Reflektor>Neon Bible. No bad albums at all, but still.

I look at your website, and read some articles. I hope you don't mind if I ask a few questions:

Did you study music composition as a musician or as a music critic?

Did you listen to every album release by each musician/band in your top 50?

What genre would you say you tend to listen to more? (on your own, not something related to your blog, or what you had to listen to in college.)

What do you think is the best way to share one's taste in music, or write reviews: blog, YT vlog, music forum, facebook, or (other)?

I saw you use four categories to review music. Have you read "What to Listen for in Music, by Aaron Copland" what do you think of it?

The Suburbs is weak. Doesn't hold up to their first two and Reflektor. But then again nothing really holds up against Neon Bible and Funeral.
