Everybody has been posting their lists of the decade… especially music. Here’s my list of the best albums of 2000-2009. I couldn’t even find ten that were consistently good, actually. *frown*

In no particular order:

  • Styles of Beyond: Megadef
  • Osdorp Posse: Tegenstrijd
  • Ugly Duckling: Taste the Secret
  • The Donnas: Bitchin
  • Northern State: Can I keep this pen?
  • Le Tigre: This Island
  • 1200 Techniques: Consistency theory
  • ‘t Hof van Commerce: Ezoa en niet anders

Artists that should have released albums that would be in this list, but didn’t:

  • Rakim (Wat een slecht album. Rakim had dat natuurlijk gewoon met Seda en DJ Daan moeten opnemen…)
  • Beastie Boys
  • Clawfinger
  • IAM
  • Public Enemy

Honorable mentions:

  • Jawat (one of the few Dutch rappers that is any good, now that the OP is gone)
  • Duo Kie, Triple XXX, Keyo, Jefe de la M, Arma Blanca (Spanish rap)
  • Svinkels (French rap)
  • Massilia Sound System
  • Nitro Microphone Underground (would be in the list, but I’m not sure if “Colaboraciones vol 1″ is a real album…)
  • Jurassic 5
  • Hammerfall
  • Blind Guardian

But overall, I discovered *many* more pre-2000 albums (and often pre-1990) that were much better than most of what I heard in the 2000s. I guess my musical taste is firmly grounded in the 80s. But then again we *knew* that… :-)
