In/Casino/Out by ATD-I is completely underrated by the way.
Californication as well, cos the Chilis are so damn big and have so many fans it will be remembered for long time.
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
All Radiohead post-1994. I honestly can't think of anything in the last 10 years that comes close.
Godspeed You Black Emperor- F#A# infinity & Lift Yr Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven
Johnny Cash- American Recordings (all of 'em)
British Sea Power- The Decline Of British Sea Power
Isis- Oceanic
1 Mile North- Minor Shadows
Six.By Seven- The Things We Make
Primal Scream- XTRMNTR
The Flaming Lips- Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots
Radiohead- The Bends
Bob Dylan- Time Out Of Mind
Silver Mt.Zion- Born Into Trouble As The Sparks Fly Upwards
Slowdive- Pygmalion
Boards Of Canada- Geogaddi
Aphex Twin- Richard D James
Oneida- Secret Wars
The Streets- A Grand Don't Come For Free
Wilco- Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Sixteen Horsepower- Sackcloth & Ashes
And trillions more.
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
Shut up.
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
I can't decide either.
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
Isis - Oceanic
Fucking legend! That's such an awesome album! Anywhoo:
Both EITS albums
CODY - Mogwai
GY!BE - Lift Your Skinny Fists
Dillinger Escape Plan - Calculating Infinity
Drukqs - Aphex Twin
Cave In - Jupiter
ATD-I - Relationship Of Command
Isis - Oceanic
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing...
Sigur Ros - Agaeytis *%$@ (fuck knows how you spell it)
Fugazi - The Argument
Spritualized - Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space
Refused - The Shape Of Punk To Come
Boards Of Canada - Geogaddi
Minus - Jesus Christ Bobby
Pelican - Australasia
There are a shit load more but those are CDs that are immediately visible from where I'm sitting. Having said that, I doubt many of those will be recognised but they bloody should be. I guess it's similar to Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu; classic album but came out when Nirvana were going global and Mudhoney were kinda lording it over Seattle.
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
Must agree with Johnny Cash: American Recordings 1-4. You could skin your knees on his voice, it's so darn rugged.
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
In no particular order:
Radiohead - "OK Computer" and "Kid A"
Primal Scream - "Exterminator"
Beck - "Odelay"
Dismemberment Plan - "Emergency and I"
Super Furry Animals - "Guerrilla"
Interpol - "Turn On the Bright Lights"
Wu-Tang Clan - "36 Chambers"
Spiritualized - "Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space"
El-P - "Fantastic Damage"
Neutral Milk Hotel - "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea"
White Stripes - "White Blood Cells"
And probably a lot more, too...

Re: Best album of the last 10 years
10 (!!!) years?
One outstanding album, although it is pretty new, is...
"Room On Fire" by The Strokes
It will be a classic, people will love it also after 1, 5 or 10 years. A masterpiece. Best fusion of good solid rock, melodies you won't forget & hard working band.
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
lol
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
up the fucking bracket! x
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
Is this It? is more of a classic.
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
Room on fire...it's no Is This It.
None of those albums even compare to Up The Bracket though
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
Wasn't the question best ALBUM and not albumS?
I think the best album of the last 10 years is De-loused in the comatorium by The Mars Volta.
Although saying that, i which year did The Downward Spiral come out? That may just creep ahead if it was less than 10 years old.
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
obviously grace, and one of the best albums ever.
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
1994-Downward spiral release.
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Re: Best album of the last 10 years

I know it's meant to be 'Album' and not 'Albums', but it's a pretty challenging question lol.
ATDI- Relationship of Command
Radiohead- OK Computer
The Strokes- Is This It (purely on the music)
Sunny Day Real Estate- How it feels to be something on
Futureheads- S/T (maybe a little soon, but i just got a feeling about it)

Re: Best album of the last 10 years
Elbow Asleep in the Back
Ash 1977
Interpol Turn on the Brightlights
Doves Lost Souls
Sigur Ros ()
thats all i can think of
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
not Ash - are you serious?
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
yeah the first album (proper) is great I think, when they were about 12. there a bit crap now but I stil think its pretty great
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
Hmmmm....an interesting shout for kissing sausages (most recent from Sigur Rós). It's one of those albums which:
1. had me wetting my pants in anticipation before it was released;
2. blew me away when I first heard it;
3. became one of my favourite albums ever;
4. dwindled in my affections;
5. didn't get spun for ages and ages;
6. got played again last night and blew me away once more.
I reckon it's got to be up there. And don't believe people who tell you Agaetis Byrjun is better. I used to believe that too, but I'm betting that ( ) is the one people will revere as the classic album in decades' time.
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
I prefer () without a doubt. A.B. is good but () is much more *perfect* I think
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
Aye, AB is awesome but can be almost Disney-esque at times (in the upbeat, string-laden moments)...
Whereas ( ) is a pure emotional juggernaut.
The song known as "E-bow" (the one where Georg plays his bass with an an e-bow) is breathtaking amazing. The way they essentially use one repeating note motif and build it with those soaring guitar/piano melodies makes me want to weep!
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
E-bow, is that untilted 6?
I think the album is perfect in that every note, every word, everything sounds in exactly the right place. with some bands/albums/songs you wish they were longer/shorter/louder/quieter/whatever but () is just 'right'
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
It is track 6. So, so good. No one can diss track 1, track 4 or track 8, either.
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
() is amazing. Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do is one of the best E.P's ever.. but that doesn't matter right now. I can't believe that no-one has mentioned The Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
Patrick Wolf - Lycanthropy
Enon - Hocus Pocus
Bjork - Vespertine
Portishead - Dummy (if it counts, not sure what year it came out)
PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love
Re: Best album of the last 10 years
Siamese Dream was released in 1993.
