The guys have gone on to play with legends in the music business, help introduce a new generation to tons of great rock acts, and solidified themselves in the history or rock. After releasing a highly successful double album, which almost won this spot, they put out the album that I believe set them apart from every other band at the time. The Foo Fighters have been putting out great albums since the mid ’90s, but really started making noise in the ’00s. (In no particular order) Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace (2007) – By Foo Fighters

Some will say these changes sucked and that these band are not rock, others will tell you that it has made the genre less predictable and kept it alive in a time when pop and hip hop rule the radio, but who’s right? That’s a whole debate in it’s own, but I can tell you that some of the bands making music in this decade really showed why rock ‘n’ roll will never die, a lot of those bands are on this list. While a lot of classic rock bands were proving to the world that they still had plenty of great tunes to unleash on the us, a lot of new bands were bringing in different styles and changing up the genre. I know a lot of people will say “there were no important albums for rock in the 2000s”, even though the genre has taken many turns and is no longer as good as it once was, there still are some great bands and albums.īy the time the new millennium rolled around, most rock fans had given up on new artist in the genre. So you will notice that even though Metallica, AC/DC, and Aerosmith all had good albums come out in the ’00s, since I’ve picked each of these groups in prior decades, they will be excluded from this list.
#Best metal albums 2000s series
Although the series is named “Best of Rock”, it’s important to know that the albums I’m listing aren’t what I consider the best (although some I would), but the ones I feel were most important to the genre of rock ‘n’ roll during the decade they were released in. I’ve excluded live albums and greatest hits, and to keep the same artist from reappearing over and over on my list, I only pick one album by a band and no more. Over the past five weeks I have gone through time, starting with the 1960s and working my way up, listing the ten most important rock albums from each decade. All good things must come to an end, and so must this “Best of Rock” series.
