To be honest I can't argue against any of these albums being overrated in any way, but is most of the list best of this decade? No, not really.

I wouldn't any band more than once on a Top 20 of the 2000's. That's way too huge a selection and Because of the Times was what REALLY got me into them. That album had such an atmosphere and was catchy at the same time

When you're taking into account 10 years worth of albums, I'm unsure how people think they will agree with anyone else in the world.

It's a pretty good list for mine.

#1 & #18 would be in my top 5.

#2 would probably be in my top 10.
