In terms of favourites, then The National - Boxer is mine. It just feels so personal to me.
But Funeral would certainly be one of the "best".

I'm compiling a list, but it's maybe a bit too persoal to me and unobservant of chart success, or even avalability of such album in the UK. Is this supposed to be abou nostalgic connections or good music? I can't really decide, I'm maybe a bit tired right now too.

I surprised myself by easily finding my top 10, but now it's the order that's the difficult part-- it's currently very sketchy so I'm now trying to listen and compare each little beast.
I will keep my top album a SECRET because I have DIGNITY. Gosh, guys. Revealin'.

I don't mean that there's been no great music since the 90s. Far from it. But since this is in terms of my FAVOURITE albums, much of my list is from artists who, IMO, have done better work in previous decades. So while I love it all, I can't help but think of it as a bit second-rate compared to what I'd put on a list for the 90s, 80s, or 70s.

come on guys Arcade Fire's Funeral? that's an amazing album Overwrought, overly earnest chest pounding strain-rock, if you ask me (hell and I'm a Springsteen fan). Oh, I'm being a bit harsh, but I think Arcade Fire get more credit than they deserve, simply for being one of the few bands anywhere near the mainstream who even attempt depth (or at least they were in 2005..) I am surprised to see that you have actually edited this post, seeing as how one would think you would have a template for these occasions by now. By occasions I mean any mention of the words "Arcade" and "Fire" in that particular order.

I gave my opinion cos Jonathon was holding up Funeral as counter-evidence to my "the noughties= not the best of times for music" position. Though, yeah I've stated it quite a few times on this forum.

I'll wait for the John & Edward album before compiling my list.
Cheerio, Michael. xxx

I've been thinking about this for weeks! I've finally decided to do it in order of albums that mean the most to me as opposed to the 'best' ones... which means it'll be filled with albums people might consider crap!

Do the albums have to be in order of best-worst?
Obviously not worst, but you know!
