@MagicSword! -- there are "Music in..." wikipedia pages for every year, and they have large release lists, though there are things missing from them.
This will be too hard if I think about it at all, so I'm just putting down the first really great album I can think of for each year.
2000 And then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out / Yo La Tengo
2000 The Night / Morphine
2003 World Without Tears / Lucinda Williams
2003 Glass / Sea and Cake
2004 Sung Tongs / Animal Collective
2004 Thunder! Lightning! Strike! / The Go! Team
2004 Real Gone / Tom Waits
2005 Tanglewood Numbers / Silver Jews
2007 Person Pitch / Panda Bear
2008 What Is ?! / King Khan and the Shrines
Apparently I decided halfway through the process that 2001, 2002, 2006 and 2009 could just fuck right off, and that I was just making a Decade Ten. Oh well. -

@paul sizer
goddamn telefon tel aviv are so good. I didn't know something new is out/is coming out, but I've played the hell out of Fareheit Fair Enough. -

@Sizer
Gorillaz' self-titled is effing fantastic. I love Demon Days, but the creativity and experimentation weren't there anymore. -

No excuses, no shame.
Right on, Sizer, right on.
As for release dates, if I ever get crossed up, I use allmusic.com. Their reviewers seem to have their heads on backwards, but as far as an informational resource, it's without peer. -

Jesus fuck! You people are insane!
i take this as quite a compliment!
also, sizer, dont stress! i have a feeling us heavy/fast music people are only outnumbered as of now...i know a large chunk of WC listens to a random mix of stuff. we wont judge. and HEY LURKERS! POST HERE! im interested in everyones opinions. dont be intimidated because us geeky weirdoes post a bunch of semi obscure screaming craziness! -

Thanks guys for making me feel less doofussy about my music choices. I grew up trying to find the common ground between ABBA, Dead Kennedys and Switched On Bach, hence my musical tastes... -

I thought about this for about thirty seconds before I gave up. There is no way in hell I could whittle down the last ten years into ten records. To preserve what little sanity I have left at the end of a shit semester, I'll just wait for the top ten of 2009 thread that I'm sure will appear before too long. I'm actually prepared for that one. -

@MagicSword
The cold vein was very nearly my pick for 2001. The production on that album alone is mind boggling, not to mention the actual lyrics and performances from Vast Aire and Vordul Mega.
2006 was also a tough year, and that Subtle album was a top contender, ultimately though- Astronautalis gets more play time from me. -
dammit, guys.
i don't have my storage drive with me so quick reference is impossible. so i just listed all my favourite albums ever and then sorted them, and then filled in the blanks...
(luckily i used to do a best-of-the-year list on the webzine i worked for, so that was three years taken care of. and my geek friends and i assembled a best-of-00-to-04 list five years ago, too. [does anyone with a RYM account want to compile a Whitechapel-best-of list?] man i'm a loser.)

I'm not sure why this ISN'T just about this year. Christ. -
-
@allana: God, I can't believe I forgot to include Relationship of Command. Great album!
-
@warrenellis it was inspired by the NME top 50 albums of the decade article, and the top 10 lists my work is doing, i did consider doing a top list of 2009 one but how often do you get to do a decade list?
well every 10 years, but hopefully you get the point. -
Interesting sidenote: At other boards, Relationship of Command really seems to be consensus album of the decade.
