[Manchester Shrimper]

I was just thinking, if everyone nominated their albums of the decade I'm sure between Shrimperzone we could come up with a list to rival The Times or NME.

 

[EastStandBlue]

A few more from the noughties that haven't featured...

Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP
Dr. Dre - 2001
The Killers - Hot Fuss
Muse - Black Holes and Revelations
Blink 182 - Enema of the State
Kano - Home Sweet Home
Jay Z - The Black Album
Kanye West - The College Drop Out
Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American
Outkast - Stankonia
Ludacris - Chicken'n'Beer
Alicia Kings - Songs in A-Minor

 

[MK Shrimper]

I already put mine in the "gaping holes" thread and I'm sure they'll be sneered at as much as the list itself!

 

[Uncle Leo]

The best album I bought in the 00s was "Dusty in Memphis" but I digress.

Some crackers in that first post (in particular "Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea" :clap: and if I may suggest a few others:

British Sea Power - "The Decline of British Sea Power"
British Sea Power - "Do You Like Rock Music?"
Morrissey - "Morrissey, You Are The Quarry"
Maxïmo Park - "A Certain Trigger"
Belle and Sebastian - "The Life Pursuit"
Flaming Lips - "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots"
Graham Coxon - "Happiness In Magazines"
