Best Albums of the Decade?

Not open for further replies.
I honestly do agree with you on the RnB part, very few artists do write their own songs there. Ne-Yo obtained most of his fame from being a ghost writer.

However Rap is written mostly by the artists who made the song, the producer handles the beat, and then contributors throw lyrics in there. It's not very common for a rapper to have their song completely written by someone else, since they'll no longer really be a rapper. Auto Tune (I think that's what you were referring to), is mainly used for choruses and not very often on the actual lyrics, though I feel like I should say that even on choruses auto tune isn't found on too many rap songs anyway. Sound Editing software is used by a lot of artist you'll hear on the radio, but it's not often used well supported artists who typically use bands to record their music (heck even Eminem used bands for his albums). I can see your point but most of that is based on sounds you hear on the radio (which in my opinion isn't a good representation of what rap is anyway).
 
Wellllll I listen to rap by people like Bashy. I don't know what sets him apart from others, but he's so gutsy. Ever heard sorry? Its just so meaningful.
 
The best album of the decade came out 10 months and 24 days into the decade...

Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park.

Oddly in agreement that the title of this thread is wrong. The best album of the decade doesn't not necessarily fall under the categories you listed just because you like them. Your PERSONAL best album of the year clearly would, but that was not what the thread title suggested (and many people have as a result said other things in the place of your genres). Sorry if you didn't want that brought up again, but I wanted to point it out anyhow :p

Since I despise virtually anything played in the genres you've listed (with a few exceptions, but none that hit me as much as my standard genre), I'm going to take a different stance and go with either Welcome To the Masquerade by Thousand Foot Krutch, or Awake by Skillet (Comatose from them is also fantastic). Both are Christian Rock albums, so I wouldn't recommend them to your taste persay (note I am atheist and not Christian... you don't have to follow that religion to take meaning from the lyrically powerful songs these guys drive out), but they to me are easily the best albums of last decade, and ones I listen to virtually continuously at the moment. Although One X by Three Days Grace is very good too. There have been a lot of really great albums in the last 10 years (particularly the last 5 for me, since many of the bands I like came into their own during that time), so it's really hard to narrow it down to just one or two. But they would be my top ones.
 
Appeal to reason by rise against.

Sufferrer and the Witness by rise against.

Siren Song of the Counter Culture by rise against.

And some other rise against stuff.
 
I saw someone said TFK (Thousand Foot Krutch), but they're best album to date definately had to Phenomenon
 
Phenomenon has some good stuff for sure, but I prefer Welcome to the Masquerade overall because I listen to a higher percentage of the album on a regular basis :p. But really, all of their stuff is great (ok The Art of Breaking doesn't appeal to me as much on the WHOLE, but it does have Breathe You In...)

Please do not post in a thread that has not had a post for two weeks or more. Thanks!
 
I say leave it open since it can still be discussed.

Exclusive by Chris Brown, it has some really good songs on it.
Theater of the Mind by Ludacris, he does some good rapping in the songs.
I mostly like the older songs really, the new ones, not that much.
