What about Black Clouds & Silver Linings, Colors, Skyforger, Funeral, SMiLE, Van Lear Rose, The Moon and Antarctica, It Still Moves, The Formation of Damnation, and Miss Machine? There’s been TONS of good music this decade, it’s just not very visible.

Hmmmm, my opinion:

1. Coheed and Cambria: Second Stage Turbine Blade (I understand how some can love the later albums more, but for the post CoCa fans, ie Shabutie, SSTB is the stuff dreams are made of)

2. Florence and the Machine: Lungs (Newer album, but definitely one of the best I’ve heard in a loooong time.

3. Modest Mouse: The Moon and Antartica

4. Placebo: Sleeping With Ghosts

5. Citizen Cope: The Clarence Greenwood Recordings

Yeah, this was harder than I thought. Most of all my favorite albums were before the last decade. Kudos for mentioning Saves the Day, they always stuck out in my head.

I dearly love pretty much all of the C&C albums and videos, but probably the best one is:
Coheed & Cambria – Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV,
Volume 1: From Fear Through The Eyes Of Madness

Audioslave. The only band I got excited about in the last decade besides C&C.

Los Lonely Boys are worth a listen too, if you like Texican style. I do.

Your a fuckin idiot.. about the only thing u got right is the fact that it was a shit decade for music… Coheed and cambria .. such tracks as “the suffering” and “the running free” are the only worthy ones..? They are the tracks that are closest to pop trash not the rest of their tunes.. wtf? you know nothing.. and as if hawthorne heights ever had a good track????? waaaaaaa.. your insane

It’s “YOU’RE INSANE” not “your”, but you did spell “shit” correctly, good job

“Good taste you all you guys”

As much as I’d like to share the credit, that’s all Eric Porvaznik. The Dude’s forgotten more about pop music than I’ll ever know!

No offense, Charlene, we’re thrilled to have you commenting in Threedonia, but “Grand Funk” and “they just rocked it…” If you look up redundant in your Funk and Wagnall’s you’ll find those two phrases side by side.

Anyone who puts GA1 or GA2 as the best Coheed album is flat out stupid. IKS is their best, followed VERY closely by SSTB.

And Andrew’s right, they never really listened to Rush until AFTER they were compared to them with Claudio’s singing, the rock opera/concept album/band/discography ideas, their musical style, and 21:13. Learn your shit before you go trying to trash a fan Matt et. al.

I do have to say that I’m glad that Queens of the Stone Age AND Coheed and Cambria both have spots on the list, as well as Saves The Day. Good taste you all you guys! Considering Coheed is my favorite band, I’ll be biased and put their first album first.

1. Second Stage Turbine Blade by Coheed and Cambria
2. Broken Boy Soldiers by The Raconteurs
3. Rated R by Queens of the Stone Age
4. In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth:3 by Coheed and Cambria
5. Songs for the Deaf by Queens of the Stone Age
