This list is a work in progress. I did not hear all of the 150,000 albums that have been released in the past 5 years (of course not, I'm being sarcastic), so this is based on what I have heard in no specific order:

The Verve - Urban Hymns
Mercury Rev - Deserter's Songs
Beth Orton - Central Reservation
Mogwai - Young Team
Labradford - Mi Media Naranja
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin
Doves - Lost Souls
Radiohead - OK Computer
Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun

Whoops, you wanted 5, not 10, right?

Whoops, I have it backwards...I gave you the top 10 in the past 5 years, not the top 5 in the past 10 years. I'm dyslexic! (no joke)

"No it doesn't. In fact I wasn't aware of how bad they were until I saw them last night. They are a bunch a Dweebs too. What's with the Dork that has the yellow hair? And the Lead singer had a runny nose. Everytime they did a closeup I thought I was going to chuck my cookies"

Ladies and Gents, I retract my comment, thats PURE hate Red posted for Nsync there!

Well I havn't been paying that much attention to older music since I'm 17 so most of mine are pretty new, but here's my current favorites.

Tool - Lateralus
Staind - Break the Cycle
Fuel - Sunburn
Creed - My Own Prison
Nirvana - Nevermind

Two of them are from this month though ;), I doubt they will last all that long.

OMG, I think my brain could explode from the effort it would take to conclusively narrow it down to just five.

Five really good ones that come to mind are:

1) Cure - Bloodflowers 2000
2) NIN - Broken 1992
3) Radiohead - OK Computer 1997
4) Toad the Wet Sprocket - Coil 1997
5) The The - Dusk 1993

I know I am leaving out some things that deserve to be in the top five... :eek:

You have to admit that Dave Matthews Band is one of the best instrumental pop/rock bands in the last couple decades..

most crap these days is teeny bopper sh!t that they didn't even write and have no instrumentals.

DMB, now there's some REAL musical artists.

Question for those of you who put "Live - Throwing Copper" in your top five:

Why not "Live - Mental Jewelry" instead?

I almost put Live in my top five also, but it seems like the first album is superior to "Throwing Copper" in a couple of ways: stronger lyrically, more creative, more vibrant drums, and certainly less overplayed. I ask this to learn, not to criticize :):):)

2. Guns N' Roses Illusion Series
3. Counting Crows - August and Everything After
4. U2 - Joshua Tree (will be 11 years old in a couple days)
5. Wallflowers - Bringing Down the Horse

Since Greatest Hits Albums shouldn't count:

lotsa rock albums, this list needs some hip-hop since it's ruled both the sales and listener charts the latter part of the decade...

perhaps Dre's Chronic (92), some Wu-tang, LL Cool J, 2Pac, De La Soul, and/or Snoop
