Lucid - 'Music has the Right' could get a 5 bump from me at some stage soon, will go on a Boards of Canada binge at some stage. That Gas album is great too.



The Sigur Ros, NMH and Dismemberment Plan albums feel like proto 2000's album to me though - dropped late in the decade and don't really have that '90s feel imo.



Bit like how 'Doolittle' feels more like an early '90s album than an '80s one.

Yeah it never made sense to me to group Emergency & I with the 90's, but that's what the release year says. Album was way ahead of its time.

Also how did I forget Laughing Stock? *slaps forehead*

My Top 150 is getting ridiculously strong for the '90s now:

If i had to guess the most doofcore decade I would choose the 90s. checking that list

Album Rating: 4.5

It is my favourite decade yeah, I'm nearly ready to put up top 300 lists for the '70s and '80s though.



My '00s and '10s lists are up...but noticeably weaker - it's all I've got to work with, quality has come down lets be honest.

is there a chance I like that sunhouse? seems outside my wheelhouse

looking forward to making a '10s list next year. first decade that i've been an avid listener from the start, so it's a special one.

Album Rating: 4.5

You would probably find Sunhouse too sappy and glossy but it doesn’t hurt to give it a try.

was gonna add meadowlands to the list then i remembered it's early '00s. 90's as hell aesthetic, another misplaced album

Album Rating: 4.5

I guess at this point listening to Sunhouse is nearly as much of a Sput rite of passage as 'The Devil and God'.



I don't think you'd hate it, if that's any comfort to you :D

only ~90 ratings on rym? what a lonely cult classic

Album Rating: 4.5

There’s a certain aesthetic running from mid 90s to mid naughts that I find a bit more convincing as an overall “sound” than either pure 90s or pure 00s on their own. That range (c. 95 - c. 05, plus or minus a few years on either end) is probably my favorite in music.

Album Rating: 4.5

This is my '00s top 150...it looks such a mess compared to the '90s one to me.



I don't know if other people would see it like that - I see it two or three times weaker than the '90s one.



https://rateyourmusic.com/list/DoofusWainwright/top-300-albums-of-the-00s-includes-00s-mixtape-picks-in-progress/2/

yeah it's all over the place lol. many albums i enjoy but the ranking is odd

Album Rating: 4.5

It's because there are no established classics - it is that simple

your '10s list is very coherent at least, that top 25 fits together nicely

Album Rating: 4.5

The '00s were a bit weak I think - established classics? 'Funeral' by Arcade Fire? 'Illinois' by Sufjan? 'In Rainbows' by Radiohead? 'Geogaddi' by BOC? 'Moon & Antarctica' by Modest Mouse? There just aren't that many really.



So much of my top 25 from that decade are personal faves/cult classics.

Album Rating: 4.5

That list is fucking great Doof dude. Nice to see Gillian Welch and the Necks in there and The Mods so high up. I need to check a few out.

I have no idea what I’d have as a top ten. Nothings tied into a definable ‘era’ comprised of a musical movement so it’s hard to say any album has really struck a chord and anchored to a particular point where I’ve thought ‘fuck me, this is the future, what a classic’

If I had to pick one I’d go with In Rainbows, High Violet or possibly Happy Songs for Happy people but none of them had the immense overwhelming feeling of being one off mind blowers that were week in week out in the 90s
