What, I'm not allowed to count the soundtrack to "Magnolia"? But "Deathly" helped me through the first couple of years of the decade! Hmm, what to do... |
| 29. Sufjan Stevens - Greetings from Michigan: The Great Lakes State |
|---|
| That's right, this and not Come On Feel The Illinoise. |
| 28. Brightblack Morning Light - Brightblack Morning Light |
|---|
| 27. Queens Of The Stone Age - Rated R |
|---|
| 26. Kylie Minogue - Fever |
|---|
| 25. Nikka Costa - Everybody Got Their Something |
|---|
| Rumor has it co-producer Mark Ronson bootlegged Nikka's rock-soul mojo and found a more suitably "authentic" vehicle for it—hello, Amy Winehouse! |
| 24. Beach House - Beach House |
|---|
| 23. Mastodon - Leviathan |
|---|
| 22. The Raptures - Echoes |
|---|
| Yes, it includes the dance track of the decade, "House of Jealous Lovers," but the album has other virtues including (if I can get a little geeky) one of the decade's best track sequences. |
| 21. Kylesa - Static Tensions |
|---|
| What the hell is going on in Georgia? Some of the most adventurous metal bands came from there this decade: Mastodon, the Baroness, and this sludge-metal quintet with a format that can't lose—three vocalists, two drummers, and one hot chick guitarist. |
