1. DOVES Lost Souls

2. IONA Open Sky

3. THE GATHERING If_then_else

4. PORCUPINE TREE Lightbulb Sun

5. COLDPLAY Parachutes

6. RADIOHEAD Kid A

7. KBB Lost and Found

8. CABEZAS DE CERA Cabezas de Cera

9. GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven

10. THE FLOWER KINGS Space Revolver


 What are yours?

In my Top 200 list that I compiled for the PA top albums list in January, the best placed album from the 21st century was...
A Hidden Place by Sohrab (Rank 7). This is sound experiment avantgarde and sold probably a couple of hundred copies only, I guess nobody will know it here.
Next is Barbara Morgenstern, The Grass is Always Greener on 17. Then there are Knive and Black Tie by Svarte Greiner and Archpelago by Hidden Orchestra among the Top 50, and Juxtaposition by Radian and L'ile resonante by Eliane Radigue shortly after.

Only three of my top 10 albums from the period are listed on Progarchives, namely
Swans - Seer (35)
Swans - To Be Kind (46)
William D. Drake - Revere Reach (60)

Argh, I got this wrong. This was just on year 2000, not 2000 onward, sorry.
Makes me understand a bit more why nobody else replied yet... Ouch

Doctor Nerve - Ereia (with The Sirius String Quartet)
Volapuk - Polyglot
Air - Original Motion Picture Score for The Virgin Suicides
5uu's - Regarding Purgatories
OOIOO - From the Gold and Green
Radiohead - Kid A
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift your Skinny Fists like Antennas to Heaven
Don Caballero - American Don
Ensemble Nimbus - Garmonbozia
Taal - Mister Green
Ruins - Pallaschtom

Year 2000 album releases I've been meaning to get are Rational Diet's From the Grey Notebook and Thierry Zaboitzeff's The Fantomaticks Bands (Dr. Zab. Vol. 2) and Gilgamesh's Arriving Twice (though I wouldn't count that one as it's a posthumous release consisting of tracks recording from 1973 to 1975).
Just a fanboy passin' through.
