re: Favorite Albums since 2000

Strawberry Jam over Merriweather? Interesting. I do love both to be honest, but I thought MPP felt more complete.

Also, love The Moon and Antartica. I'm halfway through my Modest Mouse journey. Taking it one album per week at a time. I'll be bumping my 'Modest Mouse For Beginners' thread probably today or tomorrow and posting my comprehensive thoughts.

Off the top of my head:
Sufjan Stevens- Illinois
Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
Kings of Leon- Youth and Young Manhood
The Walkmen - Bows and Arrows
Arcade Fire - Funeral
LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
LCD Soundsystem - This is Happening
TV on the Radio - Return to Cookie Mountain
The Strokes - Is This It
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
The White Stripes - Elephant

Off the top of my head, no order, and I’m sure I’m forgetting stuff
Sleater Kinney – All Hands on the Bad One
Drive by Truckers – Decoration Day
The Hold Steady – Separation Sunday
The New Pornographers – Twin Cinema
Titus Andronicus – The Monitor
Alkaline Trio – Maybe I’ll Catch Fire
Fugazi – The Argument
Avett Brothers – Emotionalism
Cursive – The Ugly Organ
Idlewild – Warnings/Promises

In no particular order:

Rise Against - Appeal to Reason
Alter Bridge - Blackbird
Streetlight Manifesto - Everything Goes Numb
Streetlight Manifesto - Somewhere in the Between
Incubus - Light Grenades
Audioslave - Revelations
Foo Fighters - Echoes, Silence, Patience, and Grace
Foo Fighters - Wasting Light
Wilco - Sky Blue Sky
Chevelle - Hats Off to the Bull

Not necessarily in order except for first three...

1) Grouplove - Never Trust a Happy Song
2) Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am...
3) The Strokes - First Impressions of the Earth
4) Fratellis - Costello Music
5) Foo Fighters - Wasting Light
6) Ting-Ting's - We Started Nothing
7) Muse - Origin of Symmetry
8) Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare
9) The Strokes - Room on Fire
10) Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

In no particular order:

Kings of Leon - Aha Shake Heartbreak
Kings of Leon - Because of the Time
Muse - Black Holes and Revalations
Kasabian - Kasabian
Silversun Pickups - Swoon
The Black Keys - Attack and Release
Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, Thats what I'm Not
T.I. - King
Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
Manchester Orchestra - Mean Everything to Nothing

forgot about The Ting Tings' 'We Started Nothing'.
