I seem to be the only one who thinks that the freshest music of the decade was in the electronic field.
No, I agree.

Re: Your top 10 albums that didn't make the '00s decade poll

Antonius, I really like your list. Rhythm & Sound was just outside mine. A few ones I haven't heard that seem very interesting.

Re: Your top 10 albums that didn't make the '00s decade poll

A fair amount of the un-acclaimed music I've loved in 2011 has been electronic. I think it's just that in the 00s my discovery was more limited by critical success.

Dubstep is extremely popular among folks my age, and this trend is well understated because the sales are under-reported and there's no brute force marketing directing everybody's attention to individual groups.

I can't think of a top 10 songs list off the top of my head right now (I might do another post about it tomorrow) but I do know what my #1 underrated song of the 00's is, and it often surprises me. It surprises me because it's hard rock (I love blues-rock and a lot of alternative rock, but conventional hard rock along the lines of Led Zeppelin, Metallica and Drive-By Truckers annoy the fuck out of me, no matter how much I try to like it). Yet I find this slice of glorious hard rock / pop-punk so appealing that it kinda freaks me out...

Andrew W.K.'s album "I Get Wet" is fantastic. If you like "Party Hard", I seriously implore you to listen to that album in its entirety, particularly the single "She Is Beautiful", which is probably my favorite song on the album.

Re: Your top 10 albums that didn't make the '00s decade poll

No albums really disappointed me by not making it. I especially wanted The Glow, Part Two, Boys and Girls in America, and Feels to qualify, but oh well.

A couple of songs from 2002 were a different story though. Obstacle 1 losing to Work It (I think in part because of Work It's almost inexplicably high ranking before the most recent update) by just a few points was ridiculous. Grindin' was also one of my favorite songs of the decade, and it didn't even come close to qualifying.

I agree as well, although the electronic acts we put in our lists differ.
