Top 10 Indie Albums of the 2000s

The Top Ten

1 Funeral - Arcade Fire

One of the most powerful Albums ever made.

2 Is This It - The Strokes

The album that brought swagger to rock, not a bad track on the album, and the most influential album of the decade.

3 The Moon and Antarctica - Modest Mouse

The best Indie album ever made, it is classic in the music genre of Indie rock.

Brilliantly weird and thought-provoking.

4 Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not - Arctic Monkeys

Best songs - I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor, Mardy Bum, Fake Tales of San Fransisco

5 Elephant - The White Stripes

6 Turn on the Bright Lights - Interpol

Just about every song on this album is worth your time... for me the weakest track is NYC but tons of people love it, so who knows. I love pretty much every track on this album. Amazing first album for a band that is still growing. I wish everyone could give this album another listen.

Easily one of the best album ever. So underrated.

7 Hot Fuss - The Killers

8 Oracular Spectacular - MGMT

9 Tourist History - Two Door Cinema Club

10 White Blood Cells - The White Stripes

The Contenders

11 A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation - The Wombats

12 Silent Alarm - Bloc Party

Amazing and energetic

13 Kid A - Radiohead

14 Illinoise - Sufjan Stevens

I haven't heard all the other albums in the top ten and I love arctic monkeys and modest mouse, but this is close to my favourite album of all time. I can't think of a weak spot, his voice is beautiful and he is a brilliant instrumentalist.

15 Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand
