Here we are starting a new millennium. It was a better year for music than I remembered. You know what to do by now. Anything released between Jan 1 and Dec 31 2000 is eligible. Go for It! Have fun! My favorite albums from 2000 in alphabetical order by artist: Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker Ass Ponys - Some Stupid With A Flare Gun The Avalanches - Since I Left You Johnny Cash - American III : Solitary Man The Dandy Warhols - Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia Mike Doughty - Skittish Steve Earle - Transcendental Blues Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump The Jayhawks - Smile Jurassic 5 - Quality Control Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica Outkast - Stankonia Radiohead - Kid A Sleater-Kinney - All Hands On The Bad One Teenage Fanclub - Howdy! The White Stripes - De Stiji XTC - Wasp Star (Apple Venus Volume 2) Neil Young - Silver & Gold
Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia - Dandy Warhols This was their commercial height as "Bohemian Like You" became a big hit on the back of use by Vodafone in a world wide advertising campaign. Vodafone made sure it was a hit when it was released a second time. Along with the 13 tracks album came two promos which were reasonably easy to get hold of: "Tales from Slabtown" Volumes 1 and 2. These had some great additional tracks. I got a huge amount of enjoyment following the band around this time. Daisies of the Galaxy - Eels My favourite of their albums. I saw them tour it live too. De Stijl - The White Stripes Veni Vidi Vicious - The Hives My love of 60s garage bands suddenly became current again. Both bands broke big in the UK in 2001. Archival Release Jimi Hendrix The Purple Box - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Wow, I was at university at the time and it was all about Eminem back then. But I haven't listened to the Marshall Mathers LP for years. I still listen to Kid A now and again (though I'm one of those weird people who prefers Amnesiac) and I still occasionally listen to Mudvayne's LD50 and Pantera's throwback album Reinventing The Steel...which, at he time, was about as far from the then-fashionable nu-metal as you could possibly get.

Kid A's probably my favorite album of all time. I was a teen that year and discovering a lot of music. However, a lot of the stuff I was listening to at the time would probably not make my current retrospective list.

At the time, it would have been Steely Dan "Two Against Nature" Now, it would be Radiohead "Kid A", but it was more than a decade before I "discovered" the album, which turned out to be my gateway into the band. I still play Two Against Nature a fair amount however.
