While Say You Will is good, it's not that good.

Well, you know that any lists Rolling Stone produce about music are pretty suspect when they don't have FM in the top 100 bands. http://www.rollingstone.com/news/sto...he_first_fifty http://www.rollingstone.com/news/cov.../the_immortals Simply shameful! Especially when Nirvana makes it at 27! So, obviously, I'm not the least bit surprised that no FM or related solo albums made it. And I couldn't care in the slightest. Rolling Stone aren't worth listening to at all.

I'm surprise MGMT are that high up. They're okay but I didn't find it lighting up my world. I actually find that (inexplicably intentional) distortion really off-putting.
I wouldn't have put Figure 8 in as the only Elliott Smith album either. I think From a Basement On the Hill is much better but it's nice to see him represented in some way. It's a crime that Bon Iver is so low on that list! I just could listen to that album on an endless repeat and never get tired of anything on it. |

The lack of a Neko Case album seems like an honest oversight more than anything else (at least that's what I'm telling myself) |

IMO, not that it matters, but Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was the album of the decade.

What does it say about me that I have never heard even one of these albums all the way through?!

I do have to agree that this decade has brought about no new Madonnas, Kurt Cobains, Pink Floyds, or anything truly groundbreaking. But the second half of this decade has had a decidedly welcome shift back towards artists who write their own songs, play their own instruments, and who aren't just studio creations. The Indie scene seems to be exploding... and once underground bands are going mainstream (who could have seen a weird little band like Owl City getting so much mainstream airplay? ). There's just a lot of good stuff brewing right now... a lot of potential. Yes, there are still Adam Lamberts, Lady Gagas, and crap like that... but there always has been, and always will be. Just look back at '77 for instance... the biggest singles of that year were by Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, Billy Joel, Carly Simon... and... Debbie Boone . |

Here's my top 25 of the decade. SYW is number 8! It's also my best American album of the decade.

I do agree about your point that Indie seems to be coming through to something more mainstream. Or maybe it's that the mainstream is becoming more Indie? |
