I'm pretty sure. So I included APC's debut, which came out in May of 2000 (when I saw them live opening for NIN).

[Thorngrub]

Well, that's the best I could do, on short notice. I'm quite sure I've left out some absolutely essential recordings, but there ya go: My Top 20 for the 00s.

[Thorngrub]

yep: The Fragile was released on September 21st, 1999

What a way to end the 20th century, eh?

Swear to god I still think of that album as an undisputed masterpiece (and certainly NIN's crowning lifetime sonic achievement).

You have time to edit, I'll wait to see how much response I get before deciding a deadline.

[Thorngrub]

sorry, downward spiral :'/

Kenny, I think you've got a typo in there. We all know that it should be Hail to the Thief that earns Radiohead's spot on this list. It has actual, you know, SONGS instead of just beeps and whistles. ;D
