Difficult to narrow it down to just a few choices for the whole decade, and some definate good ones in this list. However a noughties list without something by Jack White in it doesn't feel quite right. After all there's a range of his bands to choose from. I think my list would also have to have a bit of Hot Chip in it too.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, and it may not be the most popular statement, but I really don't rate The White Stripes.

I have started to warm to Jack in recent years, with the Raconteurs brilliant second album and the Dead Weather too, but it'd be hard to put him in a personal Best Of.
Hot Chip is a close call though, The Warning was one of my albums of 2006.
Ohhh...you have a few bold choices there and I definitely have to agree that Arcade Fire and Radiohead deserve to be there. Also, I was thinking U2's All that you Can't Leave Behind and Muse's Origin of Symmetry as possible options.
ReplyDeleteI've never been a massive U2 fan, I don't think they've been anything but a singles band since The Joshua Tree.
ReplyDeleteOrigin Of Symmetry has a big shout though, good call.
