These lists are always so subjective and this is no exception. Not only does this one include some of the very best music that was made over the course of the 00ughts, it happens to be the music that most impacted my life over the last ten years. Leave your list in the comments! And now, as always, in no particular order:

The Flaming Lips – Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The White Stripes – White Blood Cells

The Coup – Pick A Bigger Weapon

The Heartless Bastards – All This Time

Tool – Lateralus

Brendan Benson – The Alternative To Love

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – Howl

The Decemberists – The Crane Wife

16 Horsepower – Secret South
