All three Arctic Monkeys albums from the 2000s were stellar.

Being a Louivillian it was hard for me not to submit all of My Morning Jacket's albums from 2000-2009.

I'm only familiar with their songs that make into regular radio rotation on the stations i listen to. But I do like what I hear.
In order to get a reference for albums I might not remember, or even be aware of, I checked out lists on the internet from places like Pitchfork's Top 200 - and I think I saw 2 of Arctic Monkey's albums on other lists.

Hot Fuss "The Killers" changed the rock game.
"Jenny Was A Friend of Mine"
"Somebody Told Me"
"All These Things That I've Said and Done"
Oh yeah, this one.
Rolling Stone calls it one of the greatest guitar intro riffs of this century.

The material from beyond 2010 was mediocre but those first three albums during the 2000s was a game changer for indie rock.
Also forgot to add Interpol's "Turn on the bright Lights". That was an incredible and influential album as well.
The Strokes first album was influential also. There was a lot of good music during the 2000s imo.

Loved the Strokes debut.
Very slick album.

Anything NOFX is generally fun to listen to. Fat Mike is a very witty songwriter.

Hybrid Theory is good but for me, Meteora is one the best album’s of that decade along with Hot Fuss.
Good call by another poster on the Phoenix albums

if measured by the miles of pipe I collectively laid during the 2000's, it has to be this collection of nin songs, starting with this one:
(a former Ms. Texas' hotter, younger sister once attested that "no women has ever truly been fukked until you fukk her to that song [Suck]".
no doubt that "HOW DOES IT FEEL?!?!?" chorus accompanied by my ample rock hard cokk pounding in unison to the beat makes it an experience that all women, and titty warrriors, absolutely long for.......
#164 Hybrid theory - totally surprised this didn't make top 100. this album still slaps.
