So the NME has recently published a list of the top 50 albums of the noughties, and as pointless as lists are for some reason I also find them interesting. Do bear in mind that the NME made this list, and their interest in pop/metal/reggae/dance/pretty much everything other than Indie-esque rock is really very limited.

What do you think? Who else would you like to see in the list (remembering that this is the NME)? Any changes of position you think there should be?
I don't even know, let alone listen to, most of the bands on this list. Does this make me uncultured?
Awards: Let's chalk it up to NME being too niche.
Grrrr NME....
Of course The Yeah Yeah Yeahs have made better music this decade than Radiohead! What can you say? Interesting how Andrew W.K's 'I Get Wet' didn't make the list considering NME said it was 'The Future of Music'..... twaaaaats.
The list needs the following:-

QOTSA - Rated R and Era Vulgaris
Tool - Latralus and 10,000 Days
Radiohead - Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief

Can't be arsed typing any more.
The broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes... Adolf Hitler
Awards: Yeah, of course it was predictable!!!! But still, the albums by Radiohead, Desert Sessions, RJd2, Animal Collective, Battles, Brian Wilson, Carribou and The Mars Volta should get on an NME list.

Man, music has really gone to shit.
A man possesses talent;
genius possesses the man.
Aw, it's always been this way. When people could've been listening to Led Zep, they were listening to The Bay City Rollers. It's just that now the record industry has expanded, so has the range of shit music. I mean, back in the day if you wanted to listen to some soulful singing, you could go to Motown or Chess and listen to some fantastic soul or blues. Now, those two genres have been replaced by RnB which is fucking painful.

Lmao! I actually listened to The Bay City Rollers, as well as Zep! But then again, my taste in music is totally eclectic. And sometimes tasteless, too!

savmotronPeople do what they do. I mitigate their hazard to me and move on.
stuff is just stuff. your emotional health is much more important. holding raging anger in is more harmful than your faggot-assed tv that probably deserves to get its ass beat anyway.
Psapp- The Only Thing I Ever Wanted
Tom Waits- Blood Money
Of Montreal- Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?

what no,, Lil Weezy or Gucci Mane?... music snobs dont know how to have fun
When it comes to pink butterflies i could give a flying fuck.
I hate it when people judge others on their taste of music, so it would be hypocritical of me to judge this list. But i find it interesting that i only have songs from 6 out of the 50 albums.
Personally i would have liked to see the following on the list...
Incubus - Morning View
Audioslave - Audioslave (how this is not on the list is beyond me)
Linkin Park - Meteora (didn't like Linkin Park at first because i was in HS and it was cool to hate on them, but when i look back now, and the impact this album has had, it deserves to be on the list)
Jet - Get Born
Matchbox 20 - Mad Season
Thrice - The Artist In The Ambulance
Vertical Horizon - Everything You Want
The Fray - The Fray (really awesome and recent)
Having trouble thinking of more. I think the 90's for me was a superior decade.
"I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it."
possess 11 of the "top 50" (not counting spotify..) guess that's not too bad for a "music magazine" list
"Hitler promised not to invade Czechoslovakia Jeremy, welcome to the real world!"
