Saturday question #43: Top albums of the noughties (2000-2009)
Yeah, this one's coming on a Sunday. Anyway, last week, it was about the events that shaped this decade. This week, what I assume many people will like more, it's about music.
What are your top albums of the '00s (that means, albums that were out in the period between 2000 and 2009)? You can make a top 5, top 10, top 15, anything you like...include links, sound samples, reviews. Just make sure they're not all by the same artist or something, be versatile!
For those who don't know: Saturday questions are a weekly meme on Invisible Movement where the site visitors get their own say. The questions are of a broad range, some of them are directly connected to the site subject and music, some are wonderfully irrelevant and some are very random. This is just a little way for everyone to interact, especially when it comes to people who don't visit the forum.

The 10 Best, IMO, not in order
- I can’t tell it in order, because I can’t make the ranking of my favourite albums without placing nearly each JF’s solo album since 2001 in the top 10.
- I made a selection of the albums I couldn’t pass by or that particularly impressed me :
- I voluntary didn’t put more than one per artist, for JF, I don’t think The Empyrean is the best, but I think it’s the most impressive.
- It’s very difficult to make a selection.
- Morcheeba : Fragments Of Freedom (2000)
- Placebo : Black Market Music (2000)
- Air : 10000 Hz Legend (2001)
- Zita Swoon : Life = A Sexy Sanctuary (2001)
- Ben Harper : Live From Mars (2001)
- Gorillaz : Gorillaz (2001)
- Daft Punk : Discovery (2001)
- Red Hot Chili Peppers : By The Way (2002)
- Radiohead : Hail To The Thief (2003)
- Ataxia : Automatic Writing (2004)
- Bacon Caravan Creek : Behind A Wish (2004)
- Mud Flow : A Life On Standby (2004)
- Nelly Mckay : Get Away From Me (2004)
- Absynthe Minded : Acquired Taste (2004)
- Ghinzu : Electronic Jacuzzi (2005)

- Easy Star All-Stars : Radiodread (2006)
- Thom Yorke : The Eraser (2006)
