Favourite Albums of the Past Decade

So I thought I'd have a crack at doing my favourite albums of the Noughties.

It was much harder than I thought it was going to be and keeping to twenty albums was tough, compiling them in order of which I liked best was near impossible but I seem to have managed it and I'm pretty happy with the list.

The links I've included with each album are mostly my favourite track off each one, but I've also tried not to just put one of the singles up.

Here goes:


20. Silent Alarm - Bloc Party





Listen to '
Positive Tension'




19. Reality Check - The Teenagers




Listen to 'Homecoming'



18. Cross - Justice




Listen to 'Phantom Pt II'



17. Primary Colours - The Horrors




Listen to 'Sea Within A Sea'



16. Antics - Interpol




Listen to '
Narc'




15. For Screening Purposes Only - Test Icicles




Listen to 'Circle, Square, Triangle'



14. Aha Shake Heartbreak - Kings Of Leon




Listen to 'Soft'



13. Room On Fire - The Strokes




Listen to 'Reptilia'



12. Variations On Swing - Meet Me In St Louis




Listen to 'All We Need Is A Bit Of Energon And A Lot Of Luck'

Hope you find this list enjoyful / helpful / interesting / other (please specify)

I'm sure I'll have missed some out or they'll be some that you'll disagree with but ah well, no-one said this was a definitive guide or anything.

Stay safe people, especially on those icy roads, don't want any 'blood on our hands'.

Ciao,
Elliot
