It seems like they got the artist right, just not the album. Then again I find myself thinking about an album pre 2000. Outkast’s Speakkkerboxx may beat out Stankonia and Blueprint 2 (and possibly 3) are better than the first one. Bloc Party’s Silent Alarm (their only good album) is missing from the list. In Rainbows should be there as well. Where is Aha Shake Heartbreak? That’s Kings of Leon at their finest. Eminem’s Slim Shady LP is MIA.

They did get one thing correct….

Arcade Fire’s Funeral is for sure one of — if not — the best album of the decade!
