NME picks Is This It as greatest album of the 2000s
The new NME is out tomorrow and in it you will see its inevitable albums of the decade feature. The winning album in their poll, conducted with votes not just from their writers but other industry folk, is The Strokes‘ debut album, Is This It. It’s unsurprising, as are other entries in the top 10, as you will now see:
01. The Strokes – Is This It
02. The Libertines – Up The Bracket
03. Primal Scream – Xtrmntr
04. Arctic Monkeys – Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not
05. Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Fever To Tell
06. PJ Harvey – Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea
07. Arcade Fire – Funeral
08. Interpol – Turn On The Bright Lights
09. The Streets – Original Pirate Material
10. Radiohead – In Rainbows
So, agree or disagree? Or are you like me in someone who isn’t really giving a damn about lists to mark the end of the decade?
