How dare you.
I can't sway them all. The single ones maybe but I can't use the same method for the married/taken ones. I'll have to device another plan.
I'm very serious about my music. Show me your Spotify and I'll show you mine.

You have to record yourself singing at least one song terribly.some of us live in the moment and don’t record gigs we go to
Wanted to say the same thing. Making photos like that would be huge dent to my concert-goer-integrity.some of us live in the moment and don’t record gigs we go to
You can still pick that one next time, it's from 2016.
Nice list, I actually bought each one of those back then.
Oh stop. Don't tell me you're over of the ones who go and just stand there.
Thanks. Finally some approval.
Looking at the list, Radiohead really need to tour. I’ve managed to see Arcade Fire, SOAD and QOTSA live and got to see Jack White. The closest I came to Radiohead however, is Colin Greenwood playing with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
Of course not. Sometimes I nod approvingly. If things go well, my nodding is even in rhythm to the music.
It’s best for everyone involved that way. If I actually started to dance, I’m sure the band would stop playing out of confusion and disgust. The closest I’ve yet come to dancing at a concerts were my involvement in mosh pits.
Ah, right! I saw another Billy Talent album in my list from the 2000s, and then figured AoH is much better - but forgot about its decade.
Haha stop I have this whole image in my head now of you trying to dance.
Last concert I went to there was this couple that was high on something other than life and it wasn't pretty. I usually have people around me who are total assholes and I hope that they would tell me that I look like an idiot. I'm trusting in that.
I managed to see them in the glamorous city of St. Pölten:

Incredible setlist. They even played videotape. You lucky bastard.
I think if you're a fan of rock music you can see at this point that it didn't quite hit the heights as much as previous decades with all the pop-punk, nu-metal, Indie and garage rock revival stuff. I think there's an idea that rock just became a bit stale after the mid 90s, but i'm sure there are lots of people that would argue that's not the case.

Love her and this reminds me how much I love this album: Florence & The Machine - Lungs
Yep, depends what you mean by "rock" really.
The alt-rock @Wibble liked in the 90's (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, REM, etc.) kinda got replaced in the 00's by more indie-orientated rock (The Strokes, The White Stripes, Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, The National, etc.) If you're fine with that shift then there's a lot of rock to like and a lot of it is appearing on these lists. If not, then not so much.
Plus a lot of those more popular 90's bands didn't make albums in the 00's that really lived up to their 90's stuff. The obvious exception being Radiohead, who have legit album of the decade contenders in both decades.
1. Is this it? Stokes
2. Funeral. Arcade Fire
3. Takk.. Sigur Ros
4. Everyday. Cinematic Orchestra
5. Man on the Moon. Kid Cudi
Notable mentions:
Oracle Spectacular. MGMT
Hybrid Theory. Linkin Park
Silent Alarm. Bloc Party
Agætis Byrjun. Sigur Ros
The Unseen. Quasimoto
Could've put the two Sigur Ros albums in the top 5 but tried to keep it more varied.

Impossible for this list to not be Radiohead heavy for me as this period contains two of their masterpieces.

Yeah - and that depressing (musically) alt-rock stuff is exactly what I really don't like about the 90s.
Just being honest.
Oh I can't believe I forgot about this one!!
I feel a lot of nostalgia for this one.
Too many to choose from in this category.
Dare I say this period produced the best music?
Me too. I’d say that and Is This It are two of my top five most listened to albums ever.
The soundtrack to my angsty teenage phase.

@Dirty Schwein , I know you said you're going to lump the finally round as 2010-24, but I think 2020-2024 should get its own round. It's half a decade. I'm worried about the integrity of this competition.
I was gonna give this round 7 finalists but a bunch of people thought that was not right so I changed it. Fur what is worth, I agree with you.
Don't fecking let them clip your wings, dude.
I could give Round 7 seven finalists and then have 3 go through from resurrection... Or I could just leave it.
I think that's a bad idea.
I mean I already have 4 locked in for the next round and about 15 to pick the other 3 from. Extra would be nice.
Rule change (updated OP): Top 8 will progress from round 7 as it's nearly 1.5 decades. The resurrection round has been increased from 5 progressing to 7, making the final a solid Top 40.
Pathetic
