    Drunken debate in an indie club last night.

    I went for:

    Funeral - Arcade Fire
    I am a Bird Now - Antony and The Johnsons

    And finally....Is This It - The Strokes just nicked it from A Ha Shake Heartbreak - Kings of Leon.

    Difficult one. Most of my favourite albums came out in the 80s and 90s but I've gone for:-

    Shadows Fall - Of One Blood
    Metallica - Death Magnetic
    Augury - Fragmentary Evidence

    This could change tomorrow though.

    Yankee Hotel Foxtrot should be a contender :)

    Another two could be...
    Illinois - Sufjan Stevens
    Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots - Flaming Lips

    As Mr Troutman states - this will probably change within 5 minutes when I remember more stuff :)

    Good shout with the Daniel Johnston but it misses out as I have a preference for his earlier work.

    That really is a truly great album and sorry to be picky but didn't it come out in '99? I went to see them in Stockholm, back in '06 I think it was (the day after I saw Sparklehorse at the same venue) and they were brilliant. I have to say though that they were somewhat disappointing at the Barbican last week - very hit and miss.

    Top 3 is a toughie. I'm going to have to think about this . . .

    I know, it was a bit pernickety but in my defence the category was "Top 3 albums of the 00s". I'm going to settle for "Correct, but pitied", a mantle I'll wear with pride for a short time but which we both know really belongs to someone else . . .

    I do like to be picky! :

    Release date: February 22, 2000 (according to Wiki anyway....)

    Some good LPs being listed anyway.

    I saw them in Manchester last week and thought the same. The rock out songs were great but there were too many mellow moments for my liking and why the need to play cover versions in the encore when they've got so many great songs that they hadn't played!?

    Saw them in Leeds last year, before Fade, (which I think is an excellent LP too) & they were good.

    Hadn't seen 'em since about 2000 then when they opened for Television at ATP & pretty much blew them off stage.

    They are getting on a bit - a bit like myself!

    Ah, interesting (well, kind of). Google says "The album was released in February 2000 by Matador Records. Wikipedia ... Release date: February 22, 1999"

    To settle it I've just gone and hunted out my copy of the album and sure enough the sleeve says 2000 so you were right and I was wrong. I said that mantle was never truly mine.

    Now the "debate" has been settled I'm going to go along with John Peachy for one of my choices which are, in no particular order:

    Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out
    Ryan Adams - Gold
    Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Abattoir Blues (/The Lyre of Orpheus)

    Pretty impossible to decide on a definitive top 3, but certainly 3 that I love very much and keep coming back to are:

    Super Furry Animals - Hey Venus!
    Manic Street Preachers - Journal For Plague Lovers
    Pete and the Pirates - Little Death
