in the latter half of the decade it's probably about time where we can opine the musical album/genre that defined the 00s

let's not turn this into a 'what defined xx decade thread', what i want to know is what you guys think has dominated the musical scene of 2000 onwards (obviously they should be reasonably well known and not obscurely indie otherise they're not really 'defining' anything).

on that note i'm going to say: either Arcade Fire - Funeral or The Strokes - First Impressions of Earth (god damn it there is no bad song on either of these albums)

Or maybe Kid A or Discovery ^_^
i was also thinking Kid A.

maybe we really are in the alternative brit/general indie decade. i'd love to add something by Mogwai (Mr. Beast lol) or Strawberry Jam, Animal Collective but i don't really see them as 'defining' enough.

Of the decade? Wow thats a big call..
well, i mean it's quite easy to say, despite your musical preference, that Nevermind was the definitive album of the early 90s, and that came out in '91. why can't we do the same thing for this decade?

(but, again, lets not turn this into a discussion about 90s music)

i could totally see Merriweather Post Pavilion as being 'decade-defining'
