The real title of this list is "50 times rock of the new century", but it's so stupid I didn't dare put it in the headline. It was published in March 2005.
In an introduction the makers wrote their goal was to pick the most inspiring and fresh sounding albums from the last 5 years. It's predictably awful and the first person to tell me Tool and Limp Bizkit are more fresh and inspiring than Radiohead and Sigur Ros will be punched in the nose.
