I haven't listened to enough albums to do a credible list. I'd say the best band from 2000-2009 was The Mars Volta, though. Every album is classic. Still can't believe how good their first two albums are. Too bad The Fragile released in '99 or else NIN would be the winner pretty easily.

I don't exactly know if that's a good or bad description. I thought it was their weakest album. I actually almost entirely forgot about it until you said something. So I guess my previous statement about every album is classic was a little off.
Do you enjoy drizzling shits? Because, I don't, and that's exactly the experience I can compare listening to that album to. It's just really, really bad, and I don't know why exactly. I only like 2 songs off the album. I'd rank it dead last if I had to rank the Volta albums. Even the Tremulant EP is more engaging and fun than that album.
This list is assuming I have albums tagged properly in iTunes. I'll probably edit this post several times, adding albums. 2009 - It's Frightening - White Rabbits Paint The Sun Black - The Mercury Arc Troubadour - K'NAAN Death To Analog - Julien-K Jaw-Dropper (EP) - I Am Abomination Hello Fascination - Breathe Carolina 2008 - This Is Exile - Whitechapel Shogun - Trivium Daylight Is Coming - Remedy Drive Ghosts I-IV - Nine Inch Nails Death Magnetic - Metallica Dance Or Die - Family Force 5 Folie à Deux - Fall Out Boy Phantom On The Horizon (EP) - The Fall Of Troy Indestructible - Disturbed Blooddrunk - Children Of Bodom Overcome - All That Remains 2007 - Fort Nightly - White Rabbits Do You Feel - The Rocket Summer Don't You Fake It - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Minutes To Midnight - Linkin Park Infinity On High - Fall Out Boy Manipulator - The Fall Of Troy Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV, Vol. 2: No World for Tomorrow - Coheed and Cambria Colors - Between The Buried And Me An Ocean Between Us - As I Lay Dying 2006 - The Sufferer and the Witness - Rise Against My Brother's Blood Machine - The Prize Fighter Inferno The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance Sacrament - Lamb Of God As Daylight Dies - Killswitch Engage Business Up Front, Party In The Back - Family Force 5 Phobia - Breaking Benjamin The Fall Of Ideals - All That Remains The Price Of Existence - All Shall Perish 2005 - With Teeth - Nine Inch Nails Late Registration - Kanye West The Rising Tied - Fort Minor From Under The Cork Tree - Fall Out Boy Doppelganger - The Fall Of Troy Octavarium - Dream Theater Ten Thousand Fists - Disturbed Good Apollo I'm Burning Star 4, Volume 1: From Fear Through The Eyes Of Madness - Coheed and Cambria Are You Dead Yet? - Children Of Bodom The Poison - Bullet For My Valentine Nightmares Made Flesh - Bloodbath 2004 - Contraband - Velvet Revolver Siren Song Of The Counter Culture - Rise Against Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge - My Chemical Romance Leviathan - Mastodon Ashes Of The Wake - Lamb Of God We Are Not Alone - Breaking Benjamin 2003 - Meteora - Linkin Park Take This To Your Grave - Fall Out Boy In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 - Coheed and Cambria Waking The Fallen - Avenged Sevenfold 2002 - I Brought You My Bullets You Brought Me Your Love - My Chemical Romance The Eminem Show - Eminem The Second Stage Turbine Blade - Coheed and Cambria Saturate - Breaking Benjamin 2001 Toxicity - System Of A Down ANThology - Alien Ant Farm 2000 - Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park The Marshall Mathers LP - Eminem The Sickness - Disturbed

It's a truthful list.
