Inspired by these threats: 1960-1980...1 album per year 1980-1999... 1 album per year Those threats are great for discovering and rediscovering artists. I wanted to the same for the years 2000-2019. Simply select your favorite record from each year, any style or genre along with live & comps are accepted. Personally this was the hardest one to make because I don't remember that many great albums from this period compared to the last two. Many of these albums from this era won't even make my all time top300 albums. 2000: Radiohead - Kid A 2001: Tool - Lateralus (close 2nd Björk - Vespertine) 2002: Johnny Cash American IV (close2nd Peter Gabriel - Up) 2003: Sarah McLachlan - Afterglow 2004: Norah Jones - Feels Like Home 2005: Kate Bush - Aerial 2006: Pearl Jam - Avocado (close2nd Tool - 10.000 Days) 2007: Neil Young - Live at Massey Hall (close2nd Robert Plant - Raising Sand) 2008: Mastodon - Crack The Skye 2009: Alice In Chains - Black Gives Way To Blue 2010: James Taylor - Before This World 2011: Michael Bublé - Christmas 2012: Soundgarden - King Animal 2013: Neil Young - Live at the Cellar Door 2014: Coldplay - Ghost Stories 2015: Björk - Vulnicura (close 2nd Kamasi Washington - The Epic) 2016: Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool 2017: Neil Young - Hitchhiker 2018: Kamasi Washington - Heaven and Earth 2019: Coldplay - Everyday Life

I also have Ghost Stories in collection so this isn't a Coldplay bash (not on my list here though), but to have so few others from this time period, to include 2 Coldplay releases... & for 2014 if not going w/Spoon, then I would've gone w/Ryan Adams S/T. Well, hopefully, your starting this thread will lead you to discover lots of great music from this time period. After all, that's 2 decades' worth; it's a start!

Tyler was a close second for a few years for me. I do like IGOR best of all his records. It’s been great watching him evolve stylistically over the last 10 years
