Top 10 Best Albums of the 2000s

Radiohead took a major risk with this album, completely changing from the styles of Pablo Honey, The Bends, and OK Computer, and diving into a pool of experimental music. The random mix of instruments, sounds, and vocals resulted in one of the greatest albums of the 2000s, if not of all time.

Josh Groban, really? Kid A was the most unique and creative album of the 2000s, with such memorable songs as Idioteque, Everything in Its Right Place, How to Disappear Completely, The National Anthem, and (my personal favorite) Motion Picture Soundtrack.

What Sgt. Pepper was to the 1960s and The Wall was to the 1970s, American Idiot is to the 2000s. A wonderfully crafted set of songs with similar themes within a Rock Opera story. It's one of the few true works of art in music during the aughties.

One of the most infamous comebacks in music history was Green Day putting this album out. It deserves number 1.

It has one of the best songs of the 21st century on it - Jesus of Suburbia. And why is Heart on top of the list? I have never heard of them!

This is the most diverse and creative album Josh has produced so far. It's good to see how far he's come since he first began. His music is captivating.

This album is unique in its differing musical styles.

The best Radiohead album and probably the best album ever made. Why the heck is an awful Josh Groban album No. 1?

I could never get into Kid A, but this album is phenomenal. Absolutely perfect.

This is the best album by Radiohead, and since Radiohead is the best band in the world, that says a lot.

Easily number one. Why is this so low? And why does that Michael Jackson album get so many votes on everything?

Out of these top 10, he's the only one still making good music or alive. This is what started it all.

It's a disgrace that this is so far down on the list. Not only is it one of the best albums of the 2000s, but it's also one of the best albums of all time. I'm also surprised that This is It - The Strokes is so far down when it is one of the most enjoyable albums ever.

This is the best album of the 00s. How come it's only at 20?

Oh, please. This is the best album of the 21st century. How come it's not in the number 1 spot? This album is equivalent to Hybrid Theory, Paranoid by Black Sabbath, Master of Puppets by Metallica, and Back in Black by AC/DC. So, it is automatically number 1. Period.

Easily the best album of all time. It has Numb, Faint, Somewhere I Belong, Breaking the Habit, From the Inside, and Lying From You. All six of those songs went on to be famous.

Best album of all time? More like best joke of all time. They are more overrated than Meek Mill and Iggy Azalea, man.

Haha, so many kids are out here voting for pop music. This is the best piece of music that could ever be made. Even Linkin Park can't create such a masterpiece again.

I admit I'm not a big Nu Metal fan, but you can't deny this album is amazing. Definitely deserves to be higher than #9.

With this album, I fell in love with music. It's still Linkin Park's best work. I can listen to this forever.

This is a masterpiece. From beginning to end, it showcased the duo dealing with problems and having thoughts ahead of their time.

I prefer American Idiot as the best from the 2000s, but I should get my point across. This album is ranked lower due to the songs being based around urban British life, which is not relatable for Americans. This album is much stronger than half the ones ranked above it. For one, it has cultural significance from Britain in the 2000s.

This album defines a whole generation and genre of music. Each song on this album is fantastic. It's all about the disheveled and messed-up life of being a working-class teenager and simply trying to figure out your life. There are songs about dealing with fake and annoying people (Still Take You Home, Fake Tales of San Francisco, etc.), songs about young love (You Probably Couldn't See..., Mardy Bum, etc.), and songs about how rubbish your own town is (A Certain Romance, When the Sun Goes Down, etc.). It's one of the finest collections of songs of all time. Whether you're British or not, it's still a relatable and heartwarming album that everyone should listen to at least once.

Not only is it a great album, but Josh Groban? Come on! This makes Josh Groban look like something that belongs in a petting zoo.

An excellent sound. Beautiful. Passion and emotion burn behind the soft tones and ethereal vocals. Influences from Radiohead, Coldplay, U2, and others, but a unique sound all its own.

Seriously? Dani California, Snow (Hey Oh), Tell Me Baby, Storm in a Teacup, Charlie, Warlocks, the list could go on!

Not my favorite AnCo album, but I think it deserves to be much higher.

It's just a really relaxing and fun experience all the way through that feels very nostalgic, even to a new listener.

At the time, Coldplay was very popular in Europe and was slowly becoming famous worldwide. I'm from Europe, so I'm surprised that the album isn't ranked like 10 or something. It's probably Coldplay's best album.

This album should be much higher.

This CD is as good as any Heart ever recorded. J.D. ranks right up there with Little Queen and Dreamboat Annie. If you don't have it, buy it and give it a spin. Recorded in 2004, it ranks in the top three of all of Heart's records.

Things, Perfect Goodbye, Lost Angel are three of the best songs Heart has ever recorded, but of course, they didn't make the radio station playlist. Too busy playing that rap junk.

How is this so low? It is so much better than the overrated The Marshall Mathers LP. It is one of the best rap albums of all time, and Jay-Z is the second-best rapper behind Biggie. Eminem is just plain overrated.

This album should be much higher. It is much, much better than the Marshall Mathers LP. This album has excellent beats and a very diverse sound. It's the best album of the 2000s, in my opinion.

The best album of the decade. All songs are classics: Bring Me to Life, My Immortal, Going Under, Everybody's Fool.
