My Top Ten CDs from the 2000s

Over at the Youthmultimedia egroup we're up for prizes celebrating the groups 10th year and Comp # 01 is to suggest your personal Top 10 choices of CD from the 2000s!!

I humbly submit the following [I'm not into Sigur Ros or Jazz music enough to have any surprises for those who know me]:

1. Powderfinger "Odyssey Number 5" with lots of memorable aussie tracks
2. U2 "All That You Can't Leave Behind" so many songs for reflection and social justice
3. Radiohead "Kid A" exemplary standout
4. Coldplay "Rush of Blood to the Head" Chris Martin cops it from critics who don't get it
5. U2 "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" scrapes in with some return to form tracks
6. Silverchair "Diorama" Neon Ballroom is better but is 1990s
7. Missy Higgins "The Sound of White" outstanding 1st album
8. Green Day "American Idiot" Green Day perfection
9. Midnight Oil "Flat Chat" sneaks in as a compliation of the Oils loudest stuff as Sony cash in
10. Amy Winehouse "Back to Black" not a bad voice for a skank!!

With honourable mentions to Pink, James Blunt, Spoon, Snow Patrol, The Audreys, John Butler and Ryan Adams
