Your favourite album of the year... 2000
Next week, DiS is going to do our albums of the year 2000.
Partly because we're 11yrs old and we've not really done anything to 'celebrate' this year. But mostly because we have an album of the year list for every year we've been around, apart from the year 2000. Plus, it seemed like a fun idea, as well as a good excuse to get Mike Diver to write about Relationship of Command!
So, yeah, it was a biiiig year, including everything from Kid A, White Pony, Fevers & Mirrors, ATDI to Sugababes, Avalanches, Eminem and XTRMNTR...
What would your top 10 for the year 2000 look like? Can either be done based on your favourites now and/or your favourites back then (if your taste has changed radically!).

some useful/interesting lists
http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/2000sndx.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_in_music#Albums_released
um, right
1. Amon tobin - Supermodified
2. Outkast - Stankonia
3. Modest Mouse - Lonesome crowded west
4. Broadcast - Noise made by people
5. QOTSA - Rated R
6. PJ Harvey - Stories from the city
7. Radiohead - Kid A
8. ATDI - Relationship of Command
9. Deftones - White Pony
10. Elliott Smith - Figure 8
gah,
why is it every time I reply to thread it just makes it look like I'm replying to a comment?
depends which "reply" button you use. Or if you've clicked on the text or done a "this" which adds #87349384 to pick which thing you reply to.
this boards are kinda borked a lot at the moment tho, so it might just be that I need to bash rebuild.
BRING ON THE NEW SITE, WHICH IS COMING TOGETHER NICELY
I'm going to be incredibly boring
and say Kid A.
I was well aware of Radiohead growing up, had danced around the room air guitaring to the Bends as a teenager, and loved Karma Police. Rest of my music taste was as played by my brothers mainly. Went to uni and while enjoyed music not really as a major hobby or anything, just listened to the killers and stuff.
It was a few years ago best mate who was really into music urged me to listen to them again. Kid A I had also heard before but never really went back, too, but as I listened, often on walks into town, it just clicked more and more, and sunk in in a way I'd never had music do that to me before. It made me realise that music was a bigger thing than just something for the background, something I'd maybe understood briefly growing up but had let myself forget.
So yeah. It'll always be my favourite album, and it now sounds really predictable I suppose, but there we go.
Best Album(s)
Gotta be Kid A, but for a less obvious answer, Elliott Smith's Figure 8... RoC def deserves a more than honourable mention though!
it's a real close run between Kid A and 7 by S Club 7
at the time, my top 10 would probably have been
1. Idlewild - 100 Broken Windows
2. At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command
3. Deftones - White Pony
4. Pj Harvey – Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
5. …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead – Madonna
6. The Dandy Warhols – Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia
7. Queens Of The Stone Age – Rated R
8. Six By Seven – The Closer You Get
9. Soulwax – Much Against Everyone’s Advice
10. Elliott Smith – Figure 8
Not sure I had heard Sigur Ros – Agaetis Byrjun at the time but that would def be in there now, and Relationship of Command and Figure 8 would now fight for the top spot. Didn't hear 69 Love Songs until about 5 years ago but that would probably be in there now too.
69 Love Songs is 1999 isn't it
I think the UK release date was 2000. Ditto Trail of Dead. Can't decide whether we should do the list based in UK release dates (as we do do, with our year-end lists now). Not sure I can be arsed with the pedantry from Americans tho...
also it took me until Lifted... came out to get Bright Eyes
and now Fevers & Mirrors is one of my all-time favourite albums.
Dandy's!
That album is incredible. I'm pretty sure its one of the best albums ever, and its so overlooked for just having 'that phone advert song'.
I mean 'Sleep' and Shakin' on the same album as Get Off, Godless and Mohammed
Argh. It's so good.
Also Th closer You Get is probably Sixbysecen's high watermark. Another classic, to me at least.
Joint Favourites would be
The Delgados - The Great Eastern. Brilliant album by one of the best bands there's been in the last 20 years or so. And The Avalanches - Since I Left You (though it didn't come out here until 2001 so does it count?). Still
Behind those, I'd have most of the boring choices - Kid A, Lify Yr Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven, Exterminator (or however it's spelt), The Sophtware Slump, Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea etc. Mass Romantic deserves a mention too.
Argh
The Avalanches album is still unlike anything I've ever heard really, I can still remember when I first heard Frontier Psychiatrist.
Gotta put a shout in for
Lift Yr Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven. Deserves just for the first 1/3rd of Storm.
WHY IS MANSUN IN THE RELEVANT ARTISTS LIST
Little Kix is the biggest letdown ever, more or less. Paul Draper himself will tell you as much; Polyphonic basically asked him to write a load of trashy pop demos and then released them without his consent
I dig that Six By Seven are in that list though because The Closer You Get is a serious, serious contender.
indeed, heard Paul rant about it
but I Can Only Disappoint You was an incredible song.
Also, Melody Maker made Little Kix their #6 lp of the year?! http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/mmlists_p2.htm#2000
The only songs worth saving are that one
Forgive Me and especially Goodbye, because the latter is the single greatest 'career suicide' send-off I've ever heard. Draper's absolutely fucking disgusted with the whole business - it's like a funeral for a beautiful idea that turned to shit
lol just realised
the three songs I'd save all have extremely apposite titles :D
With hindsight, the top ten would be:
Queens of the Stone Age - Rated R
Rancid - Rancid
Hot Snakes - Automatic Midnight
Elliott Smith - Figure 8
At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven
Boards of Canada - In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country EP
Sugababes - One Touch
Sonic Youth - NYC Ghosts & Flowers
The Weakerthans - Left and Leaving
At the time may have been very different. I definitely owned records released by the following:
Bracket
Lagwagon
Dillinger four
Nerve agents
Green Day
1. Moon and Antarctica
2. Moon and Antarctica
3. 100 Broken Windows
4. Relationship of Command
5. Final Fantasy IX Soundtrack
haha
all aboard the airship to Lindblum
Q and Not U - No Kill No Beep Beep
Not to be confused with Q without You. Ahem.
was that 2000 too?! FUCK! What a year!
Probably wouldn't have listened to much of this at the time, but now...
1. At The Drive-In - Relationship of Command
2. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven
3. Deftones - White Pony
4. Idlewild - 100 Broken Windows
5. PJ Harvey - Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea
6. Radiohead - Kid A
7. Queens of the Stone Age - Rated R
8. Bright Eyes - Fevers & Mirrors
9. Sigur Rós - Ágætis byrjun (technically 99, but released in the UK in 2000)
10. Blink 182 - The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back!)
A couple more contenders
to go with Six By Seven, as mentioned upthread:
Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun
The The - Naked Self
The latter is especially great and especially unknown; I'd be fucking thrilled if anyone else speaks up for it. I'd rank it up there with Infected as his best.
Vision's 2001 isn't it?
Vision Creation Newsun is a 1999 album by Boredoms released by WEA Japan. The standard one-disc edition was released in Japan December 10, 1999 and in the United States the following year by Birdman Records.
:-/
I've seen it referred to as a 2000 album in most places - a bit like Mew's Frengers being mostly released on a small Danish label before its major-label release. But maybe this is enough to disqualify it
ah fair does
I was checking against something claiming 2001 for it. It'd have been on my list for sure otherwise.
Kinda ridiculous how many 'contenders' turn out to be 2001
'Twas a grand, grand year. And this is its 10th anniversary so Sean should probably give it a retrospective too!
99 too
half my favourite albums were released in the states that year but I had to go and get em imported from HMV back in the day...
word to '99
2000 is a good year to do this for because I've actually gotta think about it rather than wave 30 albums around like a dong in the shower
Six by seven 'The closer you get'
Easily.
Lost Souls
No question about it.
Just dug out my ol' top ten list from back in the day
At The Drive-In - Relationship Of Command
Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks - Stephen Malkmus
Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030
Lemon Jelly - lemonjelly.ky
Shellac - 1000 Hurts
Queens Of The Stone Age - Rated R
Clinic - Internal Wrangler
Apples In Stereo - The Discovery Of A World Inside The Moone
New Pornographers - Mass Romantic
Tom McRae - Tom McRae
whatever happened to Tom McRae?!
His album last year got 5/10 on DiS apparently
I thought the same thing when I saw it
Was only that and Lemon Jelly which raised my eyebrow at past-me.
I actually listened to that Tom McRae album for the first time in ages last night
Really enjoyed it.
dude
that Malkmus album was 2001, otherwise it would have made my list for sure. Wasn't it?
Not in any order:
Idlewild - 100 Broken Windows
At The Drive In - Relationship of Command
Deftones - White Pony
Radiohead - Kid A
Stapleton - Rebuild The Pier
The Weaherthans - Left and Leaving
Mew - Half The World Is Watching Me
Cursive - Domestica
Coldplay - Parachutes
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven
OH SHIT, debate over
THE FALL
THE UNUTTERABLE
enfin
and on that note
Half Man Half Biscuit - Trouble Over Bridgwater might genuinely be their best album - and bearing in mind how good the last 7 or 8 have been, that's a big call
if anyone gets bored and wants to do a tally
there are also replies on Facebook

The For Carnation
though I probably listen to Aix Em Klemm more now.
^ This ^ x 1000, TFC is one of my favourite albums of all time.
Blimey, stating the obvious I know but what a year for albums.
Heartbreaker
of course.
I'll say White Pony
because I liked it then and I like it now. Probably like loads more records released in 2000, but if I discovered them after that time I'll have no idea when they were released.
doubt I could do 10
probably one of the most underrepresented years in my library since 1980:
Magic Dirt — What Are Rock Stars Doing Today
Dandy Warhols — Thirteen Tales...
Primal Scream — XTRMNTR
The Cure — Bloodflowers
I could probably flesh it out with a bunch of other albums (Sinead, Radiohead, Goldfrapp, The Dears), but the truth is that regardless of how I would rate them, I doubt I'd have listened to any of the unlisted albums more than, say, 8-10 times.
Shit
I think there are probably only five or six albums I have listened to more than ten times - ever!
Variety is the spice of life.
I was only 8 in 2000
So I didn't really have a clue about anything and it was also 2 years before I would own any of my own music. The first albums I got were Sum 41 - All Killer, No Filler and Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory if you were interested, so I'm gonna have to do this from my current viewpoint.
1. Sigur Rós - Ágætis byrjun **
2. Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump
3. Bright Eyes - Fever and Mirrors
4. Radiohead - Kid A
5. Idlewild - 100 Broken Windows
6. múm - Yesterday was Dramatic - Today is Ok
7. Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker
8. Smog - Dongs of Sevotion
9. Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out
10. PJ Harvey - Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea
** Sigur Rós are included because its UK release was 2000. One of my favourite albums of all time. Never get bored of it and seeing them live was the pinnacle of my gig-going career.
Are we gonna do this for every year post 2000?
I don't have many records from 2000, nevertheless my top 3 are all really special records to me, and the rest of the list is pretty good as well:
1. At the Drive in - Relationship of Command
2. Idlewild - 100 Broken Windows
3. Radiohead - Kid A
4. Kid Koala - Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
5. Hexstatic - Rewind
6. PJ Harvey - Stories from the City Stories from the Sea
7. Yo La Tengo - And the nothing turned itself inside out
8. Deftones - White Pony
9. Erykah Badu - Mamas Gun
10. Super Furry Animals - Mwng
we could it for every year but maybe just once year per week, otherwise people will get bored :)
In no real order...
Grandaddy - The Software Slump
Pj Harvey – Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
The Delgados - The Great Eastern
Bright Eyes - Fevers & Mirrors
Radiohead - Kid A
Eels - Daisies of the Galaxy
Idlewild - 100 Broken Windows
Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker
Doves - Lost Souls
Badly Drawn Boy - The Hour of the Bewilderbeast
Here we go, in no particular order...
Bow Down To The Exit Sign - David Holmes

Sound of Water - Saint Etienne
Stankonia - OutKast
s/t – Deltron 3030
In The Mode - Roni Size
XTRMNTR - Primal Scream

Through the Eyes Vol.1 - v/a (Full Cycle)

s/t - Breakbeat Era
So...How's Your Girl - Handsome Boy Modeling School
Juxtapose - Tricky
Keep It Unreal - Mr Scruff
The Middle of Nowhere - Orbital
Super Sound - Pepe Deluxé
forgot:
Tragic Epilogue - Anti Pop Consortium
and
Virgin Suicides - Air (possibly my favourite of theirs)
Mention of Xen Cuts
winning. I love that comp as much, if not more today, and it got me into so much awesome stuff its untrue.
Was Kid Koala's Carpal Tunnel 2000? If so that is also in my top 10 records ever..
Yeah, it was 2000.
And therefore goes on the list.
Wozza got taste
of course...
Radiohead's KID A - what a long time ago...that record still gets me and inspires my friends and I.
that is the most charmingly gauche sentence I have read in a while
<3
Probably something like
1. ASMZ - He has left us alone...
2. DJ Food - Kaleidoscope
3. Múm - Yesterday was dramatic - Today is OK
4. Jurassic 5 - Quality Control
5. GY!BE - Lift Your Skinny Fists...
6. Susumu Yokota - Sakura
7. Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out
8. Avalanches - Since I Left You
but probably a bit different to that.
ha
i didn't buy Hybrid Theory till late 2001 so during 2000 the only albums i remember buying that were released that year were NOW 47 and NOW 48.
They were both classics though
At the time
Badly Drawn Boy ~ The Hour Of Bewilderbeast
Jill Scott - Who is Jill Scott?
Doves - Lost Souls
Wu-Tang Clan – The W
Angie Stone - Black Diamond
Bent - Programmed to Love
Laurent Garnier - Unreasonable Behaviour
Common – Like Water For Chocolate
Senor Coconut – El Bail Aleman
Dead Prez - Let's Get Free
The Hives - Veni Vidi Viscious
Jurrasic 5 - Quality Control
Nightmares on Wax - DJ Kicks compilation
With hindsight i'd add these:
Broadcast – The Noise Made By People
Kid606 – Down With The Scene
Ghostface Killah – Supreme Clientele
The Magnetic Fields ~ 69 Love Songs
Clinic – Internal Wrangler
Boards of Canada - In a beautiful place out in the country (EP)
There may be some more but i can't think of them now
Didn't 'get into music' until like 2005..
so based on today,
Radiohead - Kid A
Animal Collective - Spirit They've Gone..
Deftones - White Pony
I used to listen to it every night
It's one of my favourite albums ever. Pretty much perfect.
ALL OF DIS' ALBUM OF THE YEAR LISTS
Just in case anyone wants to see any of the other years http://drownedinsound.com/lists/albums-of-the-year
probably...
1. Augie March - Sunset Studies
2. Radiohead - Kid A
3. The White Stripes - De Stijl
4. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven
5. Primal Scream - XTRMTR
6. Avalanches - Since I Left You
7. At The Drive In - Relationship Of Command
8. Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out
9. Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun
10. Elbow - Asleep In The Back
Elbow was 2001 wasn't it.
in that case, Sigur Ros - Ágætis Byrjun takes its place.
It would either be Radiohead's Kid A or At the Drive- In's Relationship of Command. I think those are the only two albums I listen to from the year 2000.
SOMEONE MAKE A SPOTIFY LIST. I'm at work
here's one i made of the year 2000 last year
http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/4137961-year-2000-a-playlist-of-songs-wot-soundtracked-the-launch-of-dis
You're all generally right EXCEPT you're missing
Mer de Noms by A Perfect Circle. Amazing to this day.
My top 10 for 2000 goes something like this:
1. Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump
2. Doves - Lost Souls
3. PJ Harvey - Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea
4. Radiohead - Kid A
5. Primal Scream - Xtrmntr
6. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven!
7. At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command
8. Queens of the Stone Age - Rated R
9. Gas - Pop
10. The Dandy Warhols - Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia
2000 - What a year!
Some jams from 2000 that I fucks with.
Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun (possibly humanity's crowning achievement)
Ghostface Killah - Supreme Clientele (crispy chicken verbs throw up a stone richie)
Radiohead - Kid A (it really is a motherfucker of an album)
Gas - Pop (among the best ambient records of all time)
The Microphones - It Was Hot, We Stayed In The Water (Phil Elverum is one of the few producers who can do great things with hard panning)
Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out (brilliantly understated in a way pretty much no one else could ever pull off)
Sade - Lovers Rock (real motherfuckers know what's up)
Godspeed You Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven
Smog - Dongs Of Sevotion (contains a song that sounds like Bill trying to do Godflesh. Awesome)
Queens Of The Stone Age - Rated R (modern radio rock has never been done better)
Overall I think 2000 was a pretty shitty year for music. Still some great albums though.
<3 Lovers Rock
That Interpol record was released in 2002.
Forgot about that
Even though it's my least favorite Broadcast album it's still amazing.
Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun
Queens of the Stone Age - Rated R
Isis - Celestial
Gas - Pop
Modest Mouse - Moon and Antartica
Deltron 3030 - s/t
Electric Wizard - Dopethrone
Deftones - White Pony
Shellac - 1000 Hurts
For Carnation - s/t
Jeff Buckley - Mystery White Boy
probably think of more later
\Dopethrone/
Did this a couple of years ago on another board.
.... and then it was...
10. Deftones - White Pony
9. Elliott Smith - Figure 8
8. Mirah - You Think It's Like This, But Really It's Like This
7. PJ Harvey - Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea
6. Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump
5. Coldplay - Parachutes
4. Doves - Lost Souls
3. Sigur Rós - Agaetis Byrjun
2. Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain
1. Godspeed You Black Emperor! - Lift Yr Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven
I was 15 at the time so most of my music revolved around skateboarding, the pop punk side, not the hip hop side.
I think now Broadcast and Boredoms might push for a place in the top 10. Fairly strong year. 2001 was better though.
that well known pop punk band
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
good year - tough call between all of these:
blonde redhead - melody of certain damaged lemons
faraquet - the view from this tower
don caballero - american don
shellac - 1000 hurts
tarwater - animals, suns and atoms
dianogah - battle champions
yume bitsu - auspicious winds
for carnation - for carnation
modest mouse - moon and antarctica
paul newman - machine is not broken
john vanderslice - mass suicide occult figurines
funkstorung - appetite for disctruction
amon tobin - supermodified
deathcab for cutie - we have the facts and were voting yes
764-hero - weekends of sound
90 day men - (is (it) is) critical band
damien jurado - ghost of david
thingy - to the innocent
bright eyes - fevers and mirrors
a silver mnt zion - he has left us alone...
godspeed you black emperor - lift your skinny fists...
karate - unsolved
pedro the lion - winners never quit
kind of like spitting - nothing makes sense without it
but if i had to pick 1 then possibly
the lapse - heaven ain't happenin (chris leo from van pelt and native nod and toko yasuda from enon and blonde redhead)
and i can easil pick 1 EP, which deserves mention
Les savy fav - emor (rome upside down)
oh Don Cab would defintely be on my list
American Don is probably my favourite of theirs
my favourite of theirs as well, a definite post rock beast of an album
Avalanches - Since I Left You
and Kid A the big ones for me - though I don't think I heard Avalanches until 2001.
Wonder if Avalanches follow up will be out by 2020?
Ed Harcourt's Maplewood
Does it count as an 'album'?
Not a classic year in my opinion, but (and in order of preference)...
1. yo la tengo - And then nothing turned itself inside out
2. broadcast - the noise made by people
3. bent - programmed to love
4. primal scream - xtrmntr
5. david holmes - bow down to the exit sign
6. alex gopher - you, my baby and I
7. coldplay - parachutes
8. moloko - things to make and do
9. biosphere - cirque
10. radiohead - kid a
Will this year's/last year's
top 10 come close?
These are some of my favourites - at least five classics there.
Life Without Buildings "Any Other City"
Radiohead "Kid A"
Smog "Dongs of Sevotion"
D'Angelo "Voodoo"
Idaho "Hearts of Palm"
Lambchop "Nixon"
Jedi Mind Tricks "Violent By Design"
Moloko "Things to Make and Do"
Phoenix "United"
Queens of the Stone Age "Rated R"
Shellac "1000 Hurts"
Six By Seven "The Closer You Get"
Storm & Stress "Under Thunder & Fluorescent Lights"
Talib Kweli "Reflection Eternal"
I meant to also say
Goldgrapp "Felt Mountain" - which is one of the classics.
I will also say...
That if Life Without Buildings is not in the top five I will throw a paddy.
If for no other reason...
Than the fact that this is probably the best track of the whole decade.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SL4_DsUlH8&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Any Other City
is brilliant. had totally forgotten about it.
again.
only THREE votes for Modest Mouse!?!
what the hell DIS ...
weirdly a lot, lot more from 2001. that said, arbritary selection
ok ghostface, badu, anco, yo la tengo, magnetic fields (?), yokota, outkast, etc.

also Kim Hiorthøy ~ Hei
D'Angelo - Voodoo

Jurassic 5 - Quality Control
Deltron - Deltron 3030
The Avalanches - Since I Left You
D'Angelo - Voodoo
Talib Kweli & DJ Hi-Tek - Reflection Eternal
At The Drive-In - Relationship of Command
Looking at this list it's a shame how much hip-hop has fallen off since then. I can hardly find any new hip-hop artists (excluding instrumental producers like FlyLo etc.) that I can get into. #NotaKanyefan

LOL
Feel free to englighten me on who's bangin out the classic hip-hop LPs today then, cus don't keep up with it as much as I used to.
Anyway, my list wasn't exhaustive or in order, just my favourite records I picked from scanning this thread, so don't worry.
J5, Wu-Tang, Talib Kweli, Snoop Dogg, Ghostface, Common -- to name only from those listed in mine and yours posts -- have all at least gotten worse since 2000. Hence, fallen off. I speak not about new hip-hop artists, cos like I said, I don't keep track as much anymore.
First by far was...
The Microphones - It Was Hot, We Stayed In The Water.
Totally made my winter that year.
Second is Moon & Antartica.
Totally made my summer!
Followed by
Faraquet - The View From This Tower
Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing
The Lapse - Heaven Ain't Happening
The For Carnation
Blonde Redhead - Melody Of Certain Damaged Lemons
Elliott Smith - Figure 8
Les Savy Fav - EMOR (only an EP really)
Songs:Ohia - The Lioness
Just remember being really disappointed with the Smog record that year.
Would love to say the Q+NotU and Thingy albums but only got both of them in 2001.
Can't remember when I got Silver & Gold! Do love it though
1. VAST - Music For People
2. A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms
3. Monster Magnet - God Says No
4. Primal Scream - XTMNTR
5. QOTSA - Rated R
6. O Brother Where Art Thou? OST
7. Pearl Jam - Binaural
8. Wonder Stuff - Never loved Elvis
9. Gary Numan - Pure
10. Placebo - Black Market Music
YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO ANYMORE
NOW I'M FREE NOW I'M FREE NOW I'M FREEEEEEEEEE
Technicality
Aren't you out by ten years with Wonderstuff?
Yeah, your right! I think that's the reissue year.
I should have known as I'm going to the Anniversary gig in December!!
Doh!
There are so many of my utter favourites from 2000
Sigur Ros - Ágætis Byrjun
The Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs
The Delgados - The Great Eastern
Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump
Eels - Daisies Of The Galaxy
Tom McRae - Tom McRae
Day One - Waiting For A Break
All of the above are really quite ace.
Also, 2000 was also the release date of Xfm's It's A Cool, Cool Christmas compilation album. Pretty much my favourite released compilation cd ever, and definitely the best released compilation Christmas album. So many great bands/songs on there, and led me to discovering a whole bunch of cool music.
Phoenix - United
Had no idea that was 2000 - great album - should definitely be up there...
LATE TO THREAD, GUISE.
This is all I can think of.
Radiohead - Kid A
Idlewild - 100 Broken Windows
Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica
Elliott Smith - Figure 8
Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump
Don Caballero - American Don
let's get it on...

by an absolute country mile
2000 was the year I 'discovered music' as it were
and it was soundtracked by...
PJ Harvey - SFTHCSFTS
Smashing Pumpkins - MACHINA (Yeah, I know)
Radiohead - Kid A (Mostly forced myself to 'get it' as a 14 year-old after my old man said it "just isn't music")
Idlewild - 100 Broken Windows
But since then there are some that may or may not have already been said...
Yo La Tengo - And then nothing turns itself inside-out
Spoon - Girls Can Tell
A Silver Mount Zion - He Has Left Us...
Shellac - 1000 Hurts
New Pornos - Mass Romantic
Microphones - It was hot, we stayed in the water
Grandaddy - Sophtware Slump
Enon - Believo!
So Make Say Think - Goodbye Enemy Airship
Death Cab - We have the facts and we're voting yes
Clinic - Internal Wrangler
COME ON GUYS LETS NOT FORGET
Glassjaw - EYEWTKAS
maybe not the best but certainly one of my very favourites from the year. And no one has mentioned it so...
Pennybridge Pioneers was 11 years ago? Oh god I feel old.
and so is Infest. Great album that.
Kid Rock - History of Rock!
