Fuck off, I know it's not rock. But most memorable in 2003, quite easily.

 
It's Muse vs the Stripes for best band of the past twenty years for me and here two of their greatest albums go head to head. I'll take the three piece Brits by a cunt hair over the two piece Yanks, today at least.

White Stripes quit making music years ago while MUSE has been the only global, arena band on the planet. Not even close.

Muse is a great live show. Seen them twice. Hard to think of a better frontman than Bellamy in his era.
 
Lost in the musical woods of 2003, finally found it (No offense, Race!)...

Hard to believe 17 years ago.

I wonder what Stacy is looking like these days. She’s in her thirties by now.

I will admit I'm a total fanboy and not impartial. Seen them 8 times. I could get by with Van Halen and MUSE as the only things on my playlist.
 
Thief.
Great album. Listened to it a lot in the cab of a John Deer tractor when I was working on an organic farm in Virginia. Those all day hay mowing/baling runs were boring ass days. Almost as fun as stacking cans for a living.

Good album. Myxamatosis is one of my favorite songs, but there are better Radiohead albums. OK Computer and In Rainbows are better.

This is true. Shows the greatness of Radiohead.
 
I forgot that Death Cab For Cutie's Transatlanticism[/i] was this year. Still would take Muse.
2005 will be a different story with Plans.[/i]

It was on the original list of 15, I thought for sure starting out that it would make the cut.
 
This is a CROWDED field... and with all love and respect to The Bully, there are a few glaring omissions, imho.

Of the options presented... its hard for me to decide between Fever to tell, Room on Fire, and Elephant. Hail to the thief was also a doozy.

But the Rapture record that year, Echos, was a fucking banger.... and House of jealous lovers is simply one of the best songs of that, or any other decade. Nuff said on that.

My Morning Jacket's album, It Still Moves, is fucking amazing... and any 2003 list is incomplete without it.

Also, Shutes Too Narrow, while not as spectacular as the first Shins record, was still a wingdinger.

gunt.

Wanted to include MMJ and the Shins, couldn't find room.

Not sure I've ever been blessed to listen to the Rapture.

I'll check them out.
