This is my top 10 of the 00's. This means I havent heard all the great albums which pitchfork put in their list. I just looked at the charts and impact the several albums had on me. It was a hard decision to let Fantasy Black Channel out of the list. Also Kasabian and Snow Patrol won't be in this list. Orchestra Of Wolves is now one of my favourite albums but I can't decide whether it stays one of my favourites over time, the same for a few Tool albums. Ow yeah and I'm sorry for my bad English grammar, bad Dutch High Schools these days.

Top 10

10. It's Blitz! (2009)
Maps was a great song but I didnt like the album very much. Too much medium songs and even annoying songs, (Rich). But in the early 2009 It's Blitz! was being released. From the first hearing on it was one of my favourite albums, Yeah Yeah Yeahs did a good job. Zero is a great opener, Heads Will Roll has the power and each of the other songs adds something special to the cd. Runaway is the hidden pearl of the album. Coming up late, after all the big singles been in front, this "sad making song" is so pure and beautiful. Definately the best of the album.

Favourite song(s): Runaway, Heads Will Roll
Worst song(s): Shame and Fortune

9. Antidotes (2007)
I never heard of Foals till the summer of 2008. A friend of me asked if I wanted to go with her to see Foals live in november/december. I said ok and started listening to Antidotes. Wow, instant love. Okay, the lyrics aren't really great but all the songs are catchy. Balloons is a great song which really makes you wonder how the other songs on the album will be. Then one of their most listened songs, Cassius, comes up. Personally one of their worst songs on the album. I hate the incoming vocals at the start and the sound doesnt fit within the album. Electric Bloom and Olympic Airways are very mystique and beautiful. Coming back to the concert, they were very good and the closer Two Steps, Twice was legendary.

Favourite song(s): Olympic Airways, Electric Bloom
Worst song(s): Like Swimming

8. Hot Fuss (2004)
I started listening to Hot Fuss at the start of my "Indie period". I loved the whole album. Looking back a few years later I barely listen to it anymore. Maybe the bad performance from The Killers on Lowlands 2007 influenced my view towards the band. Their second album was great too but they made a wrong turn with Day & Age. Hot Fuss still deserves a place in my top 10 because of two songs. All the songs are great but I only listen these days to Mr. Brightside and Change Your Mind. The first song reminds me of the one girl and is very emotional. Mr Brightside will always be one of my favourite songs.
I know that one day I can enjoy all songs of the album again. Thats why it deserves to be in the top 10.

Favourite song(s): Mr. Brightside
Worst song(s): Believe Me Natalie

7. Funeral (2004)
Funeral is highly charted in all lists but I put Funeral only in seventh place, where Neon Bible is in third place. The feeling of Funeral is beautiful and you keep listening to the whole album, but this means the album dont contain any big hits. Only Rebellion (Lies) is a big hit. This song is one of my all time favourites with its beautiful lyrics. The other songs are all good but I never put a random Funeral song on. Besides this, an album with one epic and ten very good songs belongs in the top ten for sure.

Favourite song(s): Rebellion (Lies)
Worst song(s): Haiti

6. Kid A (2000)
Lately I'm listening alot to Radiohead. I own all the albums (besides Amnesiac) and I love them all. OK Computer is my favourite but it's released in the 90's. The sixth place in this top 10 was a run between In Rainbows and Kid A. There are on both albums a few songs I really dont like. But both albums have perfect songs and give a great experience. Kid A wins because of the epic songs Idioteque and Everything In It's Right Place. Idioteque is a beautiful song with great lyrics. It has a sound of it self never heard before. Everything In It's Right Place seems an easy made song and maybe that is true. But the impact this song has on my emotions is big. Pure genious. The National Anthem is also a track never heard before. What a great use of jazz influences and the bass is very great too. I actually love all the songs of Kid A besides the album titled song Kid A, which is very boring.

Favourite song(s): Everything In It's Right Place, Idioteque
Worst song(s): Kid A

5. Absolution (2003)
Muse muse muse! My number 1 artist. Well it isnt my favourite artist I guess, but they just made alot of albums/singles which are great. The problem by Muse is I never like all the songs of there albums. Absolution is almost an exception.
The intro starts with some soldiers giving orders, the apocalypse is starting! Apocalypse Please is a great opener of a great album. The lyrics arent really strong but fit in the atmosphere the song gives, the use of the piano is really strong. You really have the feeling they're right, will the apocalypse really come. The next few tracks are pumping or stunning. Stockholm Syndrome is a hyper energetic song which fails big time with the "over use" of distortion. Hysteria is a loved track by most of the Muse fans, but I really hate it. I dont know why but I have the been there done that feeling.
After Hysteria only good songs are on the album with Butterflies & Hurricanes (OH MY GOD THAT PIANO BRIDGE!) and Thoughts Of A Dying Atheist as pure epic songs.

Favourite song(s): Butterflies & Hurricanes
Worst song(s): Hysteria

4. Take To The Skies (2007)
One word: Epic. It deserves a place in the top 3 but unfortunately Enter Shikari decided to make some slow songs. And they should learn from this, because they are not able to make slow songs. The other songs are all soooo fucking good with Mothership as one of the most stunning and most awesome songs ever made. Anything Can Happen In The Next Half Hour is a great song with even good lyrics. But when I listen to Enter Shikari it isnt because of the lyrics but because of the pure energy. The use of electro/rave tunes trough there hardcore/metal riffs. Their gigs are very intense too with alot of pitting and wall of deaths. Kickass. The song No Sssweat is the most intense song. The lyrics are a laugh but this is a song which makes you happy, smile and gives you alot of energy.
Take To The Skies is really an energy boost and feels like a rollercoaster ride.

Favourite song(s): Mothership, Anything Can Happen In The Next Half Hour...
Worst song(s): Jonny Sniper

3. Neon Bible (2007)
"It's in the Neon Bible, the Neon Bible
Not much chance for survival,
If the Neon Bible is right."
The Neon Bible is wrong, as long as I will live this album will survive on my computer/disk player.
Probably everyone will blame me for ranking Neon Bible higher than Funeral. But with Neon Bible Arcade Fire definately changed their style a bit. This is a positive change because this albums contains alot of big hits. Black Mirror, the dark opener, for example: This song is very intense and a lust for the ears. Without this track the feeling of the whole album would be different. With that statement we come to a negative point. Black Mirror sets the mood for the album so it is kinda hard to step into the middle of the cd, the experience will be less intense for sure. But luckily the album contains tons of hits like Keep The Car Running and Intervention. Windowsill is a very emotional song with the best lyrics ever written. So intense. The best song of the cd (and ever made in world's history) is No Cars Go. This song is 100% perfect. The aggressive and fast start gives the song a headstart. Then the easy, but beautiful vocals come in. The use of instruments is so great in this song.
Unfortunately Arcade Fire decided that No Cars Go isnt the closer of the album but My Body Is A Cage is. This song is the opposite of No Cars Go, a slow song which doesnt fit after such steaming song. It isn't really a bad song but they should've put it on a different place on the record.

Favourite song(s): No Cars Go, Windowsill, Black Mirror
Worst song(s): My Body Is A Cage, Ocean Of Noise

2. Turn on the Bright Lights (2002)
The number one was clear for me at the start so I felt sorry for this great album to be at second place. With this album Interpol made an epic debut album. Turn On The Bright Lights contains only good songs and all of the songs are different and add something special to the album. Obstacle 1 is the most listened single of the album. It's an monotome song with easy lyrics but oh my god. The guitars are very good, so beautiful. The songs NYC and PDA are the best of the album. NYC is slow song with good lyrics and it all fits together well. PDA can be divered into two parts. This is one of the fastest Interpol songs they made. Part one is an intense rollercoaster with average lyrics. Part two is a multi guitar solo which sounds awesome. No lyrics in this part but wow this sounds like perfection.
Well I can tell about all the songs how great they are but then this looks like a review for the album only. I only mention Leif Erikson, the beautiful closer of the album. A track about a scandinavian boy who lost his mother and his dad is in jail. The lyrics are great but so are the guitars again. The best closer ever made.

Favourite song(s): NYC, PDA, Leif Erikson
Worst song(s): Obstacle 2


1. Silent Alarm (2005)
Okay, where to start... This Bloc Party album is also my favourite of all time. I will try to type this formal so I dont look like a fanboy. My least favourite songs of this album are the singles Banquet and Helicopter. These songs are the fastest of the album but dont have the emotion the other songs have. They still sound really cool and are well placed on the album, it makes the variety within the album much bigger.
Bloc Party made me love indie. It was one of the first band I started listening too after my dance period (oh my god dont talk me bout it). I always loved this album and the other songs are just too good to describe.
Blue Light and Compliments are the slowest songs of the cd. They add so much to this album. The other songs have so much energy and when you hear the emotion of Blue Light and Compliments afterwards you really have the feeling you're alone in the world. You will be dreaming for sure.
I can describe the magic of Pioneers or This Modern Love, the beautiful build up of Plans and She's Hearing Voices but I won't. For anyone who havent listened to this album, you need to experience this by yourself.
Just one more thing, Like Eating Glass. This is the best song of the album and the second 100% perfect song I heard in my life. The guitar intro is astonishing and this song gives energy and emotion at the same time. "It's so cold in this house" and it feels really cold in your house. Your whole body feels cold, especially your feet and you get some extra pair of socks. After that you take a look at the temperature of your heater, it's 23 degrees celsius... The pair of socks can be removed when the cd is done, and you feel ready for life.

Favourite song(s): Like Eating Glass, Pioneers, This Modern Love, Plans
Worst song(s): Helicopter

TOP40-FACTS
Nummer 1
Bodies - Robbie Williams

Het is Robbie Williams gelukt om op z'n minst gedeeld nummer 1 te worden in de categorie "Langst op #1 in 2009", hij evenaart deze week namelijk de negen weken die Lady Gaga eerder dit jaar al op #1 stond met Poker Face. Volgende week zal moeten uitwijzen of hij het record ook verbetert.

Record of the Week (RW)
Morning After Dark - Timbaland ft. Nelly Furtado & SoShy

Een paar jaar terug was Timbaland niet uit de hitlijsten weg te slaan dankzij verschillende samenwerkingen met andere artiesten. Een daarvan was Nelly Furtado en die samenwerking is blijkbaar goed bevallen, want nu hij met een nieuw album komt neemt Nelly een deel van de vocalen op zich in de eerste single. Die heet Morning After Dark en is de komende week Record of the Week.

I'm Not Alone verlaat de lijst
Al wekenlang was Calvin Harris' I'm Not Alone de langstgenoteerde plaat in de lijst, maar deze week is het afgelopen voor de ex-nummer 1, maar wel pas na 29 weken. Geen verkeerd resultaat en reden om hieronder de vijf langstgenoteerde platen ooit op een rijtje te zetten.
1. Viva La Vida - Coldplay (42wkn)
2. Make You Feel My Love - Adele (29wkn)
2. Life In Technicolor II - Coldplay (29wkn)
2. I'm Not Alone - Calvin Harris (29wkn)
5. Mercy - Duffy (29wkn)

Robbie knalt door de lijst
Robbie Williams zet er goed vaart achter, vorige week kwam hij op #39 binnen met de Record of the Week van afgelopen week, You Know Me. Deze week staat die plaat op #4, een winst van 35 plaatsten, een record, hieronder de drie grootste stijgers ooit.
1. You Know Me - Robbie Williams (+35)
2. LoveGame - Lady Gaga (+31)
3. Get On Your Boots - U2 (+24)

Holiday, on MTV. My 10 year old self was like, omg, rock music.

3. What’s your favorite lyric by 33? (Armin van Buuren)

4. What is your favorite album by 49? (Radiohead)
In Rainbows.

5. How many albums by 13 do you own? (Fall Out Boy)
I bought Infinity On High in 2007. Then, I bought Folie à Deux online, along with From Under The Cork Tree and Believers Never Die - Greatest Hits.

Portions For Foxes. It was the first on More Adventurous that really popped out to me.

7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? (nevershoutnever!)
Not really. Even his sad love pleas sound happy.

8. What is your favorite album by 15? (Hellogoodbye)
Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!, since it's the only one they've released.
They're working on a new one, though. I can't wait.

Haemoglobin.

10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy? (3OH!3)

The Boy Who Knew Too Much
I especially love the duet with Imogen Heap <3

12. What is your favorite song by 10? (The Strokes)
Between Love & Hate.

13. What is a good memory you have involving 30? (Jason Mraz)
I went to Sonic last week and heard Make It Mine, which made absolutely no impact on US charts. It made me happy.

14. What is your favorite song by 38? (Katy Perry)
Simple. It's such a cute song.

15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy? (Crystal Castles)
Courtship Dating makes me think of better times. Black Panther also has a beat that sounds very happy to me, so it makes me feel rejuvenated when I listen to it.

16. How many times have you seen 25 live? (Cobra Starship)
I was really close to going to a show in St. Petersburg? once, but the plans fell through. This was before their popularity exploded too. ):

17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23? (A Fine Frenzy)
Almost Lover, on vh1. Such a lovely song.

18. What is your favorite album by 11? (Meg & Dia)
It's hard to pit their last two albums against each other, but I do like here, here and here[/album] better.

I LOVE BRITNEY!<3
Ahaha she doesn't really have a band.

Meteora, I suppose. I'm not that into them anymore, and haven't listened to their music in a long time now.

25. What is your favorite song by 21? (Lily Allen)
22 (Acoustic). Much better than the album version.

26. What is the first song you ever heard by 26? (Owl City)
Probably Cave In. I got Maybe I'm Dreaming and Ocean Eyes at once, so I can't really remember.
I can tell you it wasn't Fireflies, though! >.>

27. What is your favorite album by 3? (Lady GaGa)
The Fame, doin' it for the fame, coz we wanna live the life of the rich and faamous.
Not saying The Fame Monster is horrible though. I love all of her music.

28. What is you favorite song by 2? (Death Cab for Cutie)
Oh my unicorns. It is seriously so, so hard to choose a favorite song by them. Geniuses, all of them in that band. I guess I'll say Talking Bird (Demo), though.

29. What was the first song you ever heard by 32? (Dance Gavin Dance)
And I Told Them I Invented Times New Roman. Oh, Jonny.

30. What is your favorite song by 8? (Breathe Carolina)
[track artist=Tripped and Fell in Portland[/track], though it's really hard to say I dislike any of their songs.

31. How many times have you seen 17 live? (Keane)
GOOSE EGG.

32. Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy? (Watchout! There's Ghosts)
[track artist=Watchout! There's Ghosts]Remember Me, Oh God, for Good[/track]. It's the perfect love song for that genre.

33. What is you favorite album by 12? (Snow Patrol)
Final Straw, by far. They've never made music that good again since, though I don't mind A Hundred Million Suns.

34. What is the worst song by 45? (Kate Nash)
Oh, her? But I love all of her songssss! ):
Well, [track artist=Kate Nash]Birds[/track] is the closest to "sucky" that I would describe a song by her as.

35. What was the first song you ever heard by 34? (Muse)
[track artist=Muse]Supermassive Black Hole[/track], probably. DON'T THINK BADLY OF ME. I listened to Muse before the whole Twilight movie explosion.
...though I was browsing Stephanie Meyer's playlist when I discovered she listened to Muse.
OH, SHUT UP.

36. What is your favorite album by 48? (The Killers)
Hot Fuss is the only one I've listened to all of the way through, and it's pretty nice.

Very funny. I could barely add when they broke up.

[track artist=The All-American Rejects]Fallin' Apart[/track].

39. What was the first song you ever heard by 28? (Lights)
[track artist=Lights]Ice[/track], probably.

40. What is your favorite album by 7? (Franz Ferdinand)
I'm feeling Tonight lately. Especially [track artist=Franz Ferdinand]What She Came For[/track] and [track artist=Franz Ferdinand]Dream Again[/track], along with their remixes on Blood.

41. Is there a song by 41 that makes you happy? (Little Boots)
[track artist=Little Boots]Remedy[/track] is really uplifting. [track artist=Little Boots]Not Now[/track] also has a really pounding beat that gets me going.

42. What is your favorite album by 31? (blink-182)
Haven't really listened to any of their albums in full. I'm waiting for the new one to really dive in.
Most of the songs that I like on their Greatest Hits come from blink-182, though.

43. What is your favorite song by 24? (Paramore)
I hate this question. [track artist=Paramore]Where the Lines Overlap[/track]?

44. What is a good memory you have involving 46? (Shiny Toy Guns)
Ooh, this kid at a party had We Are Pilots. He was really cool.

45. What is your favorite song by 35? (Say Anything)
[track artist=Say Anything]Crush'd[/track] is cute.
[track artist=Say Anything]Alive with the Glory of Love[/track] reins supreme, though.

46. Is there a song by 9 that makes you happy? (Imogen Heap)
[track artist=Imogen Heap]Earth[/track] is really nice. [track artist=Imogen Heap]Loose Ends[/track] puts a smile on my face, too.
All of her music makes me happy. Not in the music-is-joyful way, either. Listening to it makes me feel happy.

47. What is your favorite album by 4? (Coldplay)
Tough tie between A Rush Of Blood To The Head and X&Y.

48. Who is a favorite member of 37? (PlayRadioPlay)
Dan Hunter's the only one there, eh?
OMG NEW ALBUMS IN JANUARY 2010 OMGGGGGG AAAAAAAAAH FANGIRL SCREAM OVER 50 SONGS AAAAAAAAAH
His music makes me so happy! (:

49. What is the first song you ever heard by 43? (Watchout! There's Ghosts)
[track artist=Watchout! There's Ghosts]I'll Take Famous Murders for 500[/track]? I listen to albums in their tracklist order. :P

50. How many albums do you own by 20? (Mazzy Star)
Two. She Hangs Brightly and So Tonight That I Might See

I'll do another in 6 months. Yay(:
I spent like, 2 hours doing this. Ah, the joys of not going shopping on Black Friday, instead listening to Christmas music and Michael Jackson specials on TV Guide Network.
Some of the track BBcode isn't showing up in the preview, and it's making me nervous. Lol. Yay.
