'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
Great thread, and some great choices already. Disappointed that there wasn't one Chemical Brothers album I could nominate, of the albums I heard......Kasabian's Kasabian would be my choice. Excellent introduction to a very good band, and one I'll never get tired of hearing.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Brilliant choice, but they were spoiled for me when I went to see them live in Berlin. Very poor and boring.
The Strokes: Is This It for me too.
I'm a huge Radiohead fan so I'm happy to go with KID A. It's just brilliant as a composition.
Did you come round?
Hail to the Thief is the weakest Radiohead album since Pablo but it's only relatively weak, there's too many quality tracks (There, There; Wolf at the Door; Where You End and I Begin; 2+2=5) to be a 'poor album' compared to other music/bands

Alot of you have similar favourites to mine so any of these you've not yet listened to I would definitely recommend
I personally prefered the first part of the decade than the latter, even though there are many acts currently releasing good creative music not many acts have been churning out those albums you will always listen to for days on end
The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
good list. Heres mine from another forum
off the top of my head...
The Strokes - Is This It
Kings of Leon - Aha Shake Heartbreak
Badly Drawn Boy - The Hour of Bewilderbeast
Lady GaGa - The Fame
MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights

The Avalanches - Since I Left You
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
The Postal Service - Give Up
The Hold Steady - Stay Positive
Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
Coldplay - A Rush of Blood
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Lady GaGa a bit out place there is she not?!
Avalanches, Postal Service and Bloc Party albums in particular are top notch albums too, never rated the MGMT album though, 3/4 great singles but the rest was filler
The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
yeah shes a bit out of place alright but seriously, some cracking pop songs. Restored my faith in the female pop star...Lady GaGa a bit out place there is she not?!
Avalanches, Postal Service and Bloc Party albums in particular are top notch albums too, never rated the MGMT album though, 3/4 great singles but the rest was fillerwhatever that means...
MGMT gets in on the first half of the album but the overall sound was quite a breath of fresh air and thats why it gets in for me. I also actually quite dislike Coldplay but a good album is a good album in my opinion...
Would also like to nick QOTSA and Muse from your list which inexplicably didnt make it into my (admittedly rushed) list...

Without wanting to sound like a pedantic ar$e
No exhaustive lists - you get one band / artist, one album.
Not pedantic, Endabob - but maybe a tad illiterate!!
