Een decennium waarvan ik een dubbel gevoel heb: zoveel prachtige albums (en ik zal er wellicht nog ontdekken) waardoor een lijst samenstellen moeilijk is maar ook meer rommel dan voorgaande decennia. 675 albums waarvan 27 met 5* (en 319 met tenminste 4*, alleen de jaren '70 deden het op dat gebied beter).

1. Arcade Fire - Funeral (2004)
2. Antony and the Johnsons - Antony and the Johnsons (2000)
3. Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes (2008)
4. Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid (2008)

16. Lawrence English - Kiri No Oto (2008)
17. The Field - From Here We Go Sublime (2007)
18. Moderat - Moderat (2009)
19. Ellen Allien - Stadtkind (2001)
20. Burial - Untrue (2007)

Tot en met nummer 9 lukt het allemaal nog wel, dat zijn de vijf sterren albums, maar daarna heb ik 41 keer 4,5* . Niet te doen, niet te doen. Een paar albums die er net buiten vallen: The Last Resort, At the Controls, Fennesz' Live in Japan, Wintermusik, Drum's Not Dead, Ladybird, Radio Amor en Movements. En dan heb ik het nog niet eens over Merriweather Post Pavilion, Fever Ray, Where You Go I Go Too, Rated O,...

En geen hiphop. Dat vind ik ook niks voor jou.

Maar wel José James en Diabaté als excuusnegers. Dat maakt het weer een beetje goed toch

Mijn favoriete hip-hop staat zo rond de vier sterren, en haalt het hierbij dus allemaal net niet. Ik moet sowieso nog een inhaalslagje maken, de laatste tijd erg weinig aan mijn street credibility gedaan.

Deze cd heb ik nooit beluisterd. Maar toch:

Bah, bah, bah wat moeilijk !!
Blijkbaar vind ik dat er in de jaren 00 nog erg veel goede muziek is gemaakt, gezien de erg moeilijke keuzes die ik moest maken. Maar ja, de keuzes van vandaag zijn gevallen op:

1. Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid (2008)
2. Marillion - Marbles (2004)
3. Saybia - The Second You Sleep (2002)
4. Tim Christensen - Honeyburst (2003)

Muse - Origin of Symmetry (2001)
Muse - Absolution (2003)
Novastar - Another Lonely Soul (2004)

a-ha - Analogue (2005)
Duran Duran - Astronaut (2004)
Angus and Julia Stone - A Book Like This (2007)
Tears for Fears - Everybody Loves a Happy Ending (2004)
Tim Christensen - Superior (2008)
The Killers - Hot Fuss (2004)
....
....

Niet zo zeuren, mijn nummers 1 t/m 14 staan op 5* en voor het restant moest ik gaan grasduinen in 182 albums die op 4,5* staan. Je had het dus makkelijk wat mij betreft .

1. Radiohead - In Rainbows (2007)
2. Spinvis - Spinvis (2002)
3. Muse - Absolution (2003)
4. De Kift - Hoofdkaas (2008)

9. Sigur Rós - () (2002)
10. Burial - Untrue (2007)
11. Godspeed You Black Emperor! - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven (2000)
12. Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes (2008)
13. Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More (2009)
14. The Ex -30 (2009)
15. Eddie Vedder - Into the Wild (2007)
16. Einstürzende Neubauten - Alles Wieder Offen (2007)
17. Rammstein - Mutter (2001)
18. PJ Harvey - Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea (2000)
19. Nils Frahm - Wintermusic (2009)
20. Bruce Springsteen - The Rising (2002)

01. [01] The Gathering - Home (2006)
02. [02] Porcupine Tree - Deadwing (2005)
03. [03] Gazpacho - Tick Tock (2009)
04. [04] Marillion - Marbles (2004)
05. [05] The Pineapple Thief - Variations on a Dream (2003)
06. [07] Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness (2001)
07. [06] Fates Warning - Disconnected (2000)
08. [08] Opeth - Watershed (2008)
09. [09] Asia - Aura (2000)
10. [10] Novastar - Novastar (2000)
11. [11] The Shins - Wincing the Night Away (2007)
12. [12] Rush - Snakes & Arrows (2007)
13. [13] White Willow - Sacrament (2000)
14. [15] The Decemberists - The Crane Wife (2006)

19. [18] Phideaux - 313 (2005)
20. [19] Arena - Contagion (2003)

Heb me weer tot één album per artiest beperkt en dat heeft erg weinig veranderingen opgeleverd sinds vorig jaar. Bij Paatos is Kallocain vervangen door Timeloss en Beardfish is echt nieuw, ten koste van IQ's Dark Matter. Met de vervanging van het Paatos-album zijn nu wel alle jaren vertegenwoordigd, dat dan weer wel.

Wow, ik zie echt heel veel verschillende platen voorbij komen!

Veel variatie in deze editie!

Had verwacht heel veel In rainbows of Kid A op 1 te zien, maar dat valt me echt nog heel erg mee!

1. Radiohead - In Rainbows
2. U2 - How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb
3. Coldplay - Parachutes
4. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - No More Shall We Part
5. Ray Lamontagne - Till The Sun Turns Black
6. Bruce Springsteen - Magic
7. Machine Head - The Blackening
8. Pearl Jam - Binaural
9. U2 - All That You Can't Leave Behind
10. Damien Rice - O
11. Tom Waits - Alice
12. Sigur Ros - ()
13. Beck - Sea Of Change
14. The Shins - Oh, Inverted World

16. Songs: Ohia - The Lioness
17. Low - In The Fishtank
18. Radiohead - Kid A
19. The National - Boxer
20. Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights

Net als in de 90's, lijkt de nummer 1 al beslist...

Is dat zo? Volgens mij valt het wel mee.

Ja, dat wordt duidelijk een overwinning voor Studio, die zie ik al in drie lijstjes langskomen

Eindelijk mijn favoriete decennium Al zullen de 10's dat over een aantal jaar wel worden.
