Best Music Albums - Year By
Year: 2000

1. Coldplay: Parashutes
 |
Debut
album from a band that will, alongside Travis, initiate the new era of British pop/rock
music. Oasis & Co. have lost the throne and there's a new kid in town. |
2. The The: NakedSelf
 |
Matt Johnson
returns with a more acoustic and organic album that reminds us exactly just how much we've
missed him.

3. Juliana Hatfield: Beautiful
Creature
 |
Juliana
Hatfield almost goes singer-songwriter on this very fine and personal album. Her best in
many years - maybe ever!
About Juliana Hatfield |
4. Chicane: Behind The Sun
 |
Dance music
enters my world and this album is one of the best of its kind. The mix between dance and
trance is really well made and I recommend this album to starters... |
5. U2: All That You Can't Leave
Behind
 |
An album that really
grows on you everytime you listen to it. It doesn't scream at you or offer much new stuff
to U2's legacy - it just displays their inner qualities and strong talent.

6. The Dandy Warhols:
Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia
 |
This album
just hums and struts along with great tunes and a good rock'n roll attitude towards
things. Their best album so far and very underrated...

7. The Smashing Pumpkins:
MACHINA/The Machines Of God
 |
They may have turned up
for the guitars compared to "Adore" but it's still about great melodic rock
songs and Billy Corgan's personal self. They will be missed...

8. Melanie C: Northern Star
 |
A brilliant pop album,
this one. Shows that there's definitely life after Spice Girls - and a better one too.
Looking forward to her follow-up... |
9. P.J. Harvey: Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
 |
Her most accessible album
so far and a majestic demonstration of alternative female rock music. |
10. Placebo: Black Market Music
 |
The hopeless
neurotics ramble on with their haunted paranoid brit pop kind of music. An album less
likely to impress, but hold on - it grows on you! |
