Top 15 Albums of 2000s
It wasn't my first intention to make one of these lists for music, considering I'm much more of a singles kind of person (which I might end up making of those lists too), thus this list is pretty short. The albums below consist of me listening to at least 50%+ of the music on the album, rather than liking the album because of the handful of singles. Also "top" and "best" in this case consist of what is good to me - it might not be the flashiest, the most creative, or most likely to be repetitive music, but like I said before, it's difficult and rare for me to actually listen to an entire album without switching to something else.
So pretty much, if I had to, I would forever listen to the following CDs. Also, I only picked one album per artist or else this list would be way longer. And there's no "Best of..." albums either, or else I would pretty much choose all of those instead :D I also didn't include any OSTs either (don't ask).
Oh yeah, fyi, I don't really have the best taste in the world, so loooooool, they're mainly Pop/mainstream stuff. And I'm finally posting this after composing it... oh 3 weeks ago.
15. Clay Aiken - Measure of a Man (2003)
This is my uber guilty pleasure album. And... I can sing along to all the songs :|
Favourites: I Will Carry You, Invisible (CROWD FAVOURITE), Run to Me
14. 30 Seconds to Mars - A Beautiful Lie (2004)
This is so random and out of place...
Favourites: From Yesterday, A Beautiful Lie, The Kill
13. Green Day - American Idiot (2005)
Man, high school memory... or grade 12. I adore the entire album.
Favourites: Give Me Novacaine, Wake Me Up When September Ends, Jesus of Suburbia
12. Rise Against - The Sufferer and the Witness (2006)
The first time I heard about them is at my first Billy Talent concert. Since then I've seen them twice.
Favourites: Ready to Fall, Chamber the Cartridge, Prayer of the Refugee
11. Muse - Absolution (2003)
First time I've heard them is from one of my flist uploading Can't Take My Eyes Off of You. They came here once for V-Fest, but cancelled on me, blah. I'll see them in April 2010 though.
Favourites: Hysteria, Sing for Absolution, Apocalyspe Please
10. Mika - Life in Cartoon Motion (2007)
Thank you Grace Kelly.
Favourites: Love Today, Relax, Take it Easy, My Interpretation
09. Dashboard Confessional - A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar (2003)
Anyone remember D/G fans abuse these songs for their fics? Good times.
Favourites: As Lovers Go, Ghost of a Good Thing, Rapid Hope Loss
08. Travis - The Invisible Band (2001)
Despite this album doesn't have my favourite song on it, this was so much better than 12 Memories.
Favourites: Sing, Side
07. Panic! at the Disco - A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (2005)
I'm still surprised how much I liked this album...
Favourites: The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide Is Press Coverage [wtf], Camisado, I Write Sins Not Tragedies
06. Billy Talent - Billy Talent II (2006)
At first I was going to pick the first album if you asked me maybe last year or so, but then I realized that my taste changed, especially after listening to BT III.
Favourites: Fallen Leaves, Red Flag, This Suffering
05. The Lonely Island - Incredibad (2009)
What can I say? They are hilarious.
Favourites: Boombox, Ras Trent, Like a Boss [+ I'm On a Boat & Jizz in my Pants]
04. Backstreet Boys - Black & Blue (2000)
Considering Millennium came out in 1999, the choice is pretty easy for this one.
Favourites: Shape of My Heart, More than That, The Call [lol the 3 singles...]
03. Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand (2004)
I can't believe it was because of an iPod commercial.
Favourites: The Dark of the Matinee, This Fire, Take Me Out
02. Britney Spears - Circus (2008)
Out of all her albums, I can't believe I chose this one. After looking at all the track lists, I realize I like this one the most in term of overall. Technically breaking 1000 plays if you also count the singles albums. [this is also a fan-made cover, which i use in place of the actual one]
Favourites: Shattered Glass, Out from Under, If U Seek Amy, Amnesia (& where we pretend My Baby or w/e that crap is doesn't exist)
01. Jason Mraz - Waiting for my Rocket to Come (2002)
It's Mr A to Z. Duh.
Favourites: You and I Both, Absolutely Zero, No Stopping Us
Honourable Mention (in no particular order)
Justin Timberlake - FutureSex/LoveSound
*NSYNC - No Strings Attached
Yellowcard - Ocean Avenue
Jon McLaughlin - Indiana
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Avril Lavigne - Let Go
Fall Out Boy - Infinity on High
OneRepublic - Waking Up
Lady GaGa - The Fame Monster
Phantom Planet - The Guest
Now that I finished, I realize a top songs would represent me better, which will end up in like top 50 songs or something, idk, but oh well. Time to move onto that!
