For era-defining:

Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
Mark Ronson - Versions

(apologies for this post).

There's not been much truly standout but some that come to mind:

Gotan Project - La revancha del tango
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
Lemonjelly - Lemonjelly.ky
Sigur Ros - Takk

Fuck - I've had a mellow decade. That's old age for you.

There are two that I'd mention. Add to those anything by Explosions in the Sky. Can't say my mellow decade is down to old age though :S

I'm too scared to join in this thread. I keep realising that i've missed such a sitter that it makes commiting an opinion to... um ... pixels quite difficult.

Audioslave - Audioslave

+1
truly great rock album

[edit] reading thread fail!

I'll have this then:

I still love The Strokes Is This It?

ahem, cough cough

Simply for the amount of random places you hear track from it

Plaid - Double Figure

Or maybe Sigur Ros

'the campfire headphase' by Boards of Canada.
best title of the last decade.

I heard a caller to a radio show quizzing the host about whether Toploader's first album came out in '99 or '00 and he was gutted in came out in '99 and couldn't be voted for in their poll.

My two penneth...

Both are astonishing.

Camera Obscura - Let's Get Out Of This Country
Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise
Speedmarket Avenue - Way Better Now
Jens Lekman - When I Said I Wanted To Be Your Dog
The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart - Eponymous
Manhattan Love Suicides - Longer And Louder

Hahaha! Cuntloader! And their most famous track was a cover :-(

Jesus - a whole decade has passed and still no follow-up album?! Toploadershite!

do you stinky english look at Pitchfork much? It's a music review website based in the US, and easily, very very easily, is the most influential source of "opinion" on new music we have. I don't think a single band here in the States becomes popular without getting some kind of praise on that site.

It's both good, and bad. Good because if you want to sit down and get a few new albums it's relative easy to see whats new out there, then read a pretty well written review, and then hear the album for free. It's bad, because if it's not on pitchfork, or if it got less than a 6.0, you aren't going to find it.

I have a friend, you may have heard of, named gregg gillis, who goes under the name Girltalk. Pitchfork built his career. He was playing our house parties, buming around town. The minute pitchfork reviews his first album, he completely blew up. Another friend of mine, has a band called White Williams, and the same thing is happening.

ANYWAY they have a list of the top 200 albums from this decade, as far as they are concerned. here's the first twenty:
http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-lists/7710-the-top-200-albums-of-the-2000s-20-1/

i don't know what I think the best album of the past decade is. It's hard to know until you actually get a few years beyond. I could easily roll out some 90's bands. Regardless, bands and albums that stand out for me are....

1. Spiritualized - Live at Royal Albert /// Ladies and Gentlemen We are Floating in Space (1997, i know)

2. Underworld - hmmm.... not sure. I'd have to go look. Love underworld though.

3. Luomo - Convivial

4. Arctic Monkeys - first album whatever the fuck it's called that it's not. love it.

5. Radiohead - Kid A, even though i hate to admit it's quite a unique thing.

6. Spoon - God i love spoon. Kill the Moonlight and Ga Ga Ga Ga..... i mean any spoon album really. LOVE spoon.

it's totally impossible to do. this list is paltry. Except for Ladies and Gentlemen, even i think it looks like shit i'm just liking at the moment.

I was reading Pitchfork the other day actually and stumbled across this:
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/13656-raditude/

4.5?

...right

thats 4.5/10.

I haven't haven't heard it so i can't say whether i like it... but thats the problem with pitchfork. Seriously it's like 15 music nerds in a room all talking smack. It works sometimes. It's an annoying presence in our music culture. It literally dictates what people will listen to.

hahaha

I have to agree with this part of his review though!!!---

"I still get hate mail for saying Make Believe was so bad that it retroactively ruined the Blue Album and Pinkerton, and I still believe it..."

thats 4.5/10.

I know, and that's a decent score in their books...

i literally just said the if its less than 6 no one's listening

oh, I've been reading plenty of these lists lately. Pitchfork, NME, etc, etc...

Because everyone's got an opinion I better give mine. Just my faves, really. Nothing profound.

Stars of the Lid - And their refinement of the decline
Deerhoof - The runners four
Panda Bear - Person Pitch

um sure there are more.. can't really remember any from before 2005 though
