Here's my list for those who quit living in the past: twenty great albums since the new millenium:
2000   Emmylou Harris – Red Dirt Girl
2000   John Hiatt - Crossing Muddy Waters
2002   Beck - Sea Change
2002   Damien Rice - O
2002   Johnny Cash - American IV: The Man Comes Around
2002   White Stripes – Elephant
2003   Kelly Joe Phelps - Slingshot Professionals
2004   Brian Wilson - Presents SMiLE
2005   Jim Byrnes - House of Refuge
2005   Josh Rouse - Nashville
2005   Richard Hawley - Cole's Corner
2006   Bonnie Prince Billy - The Letting Go
2006   Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - Ballad of the Broken Seas
2007   Robert Plant & Alison Krauss - Raising Sand
2007   Wilco – Sky Blue Sky
2008   Chris Eckman – The Last Side of the Mountain
2008   Various Artists - Take Me to the River:  A Southern Soul Story 1961-1977

Many of these musicians were active in the 60s. You're living in the past too, I'm afraid.

There is one from a while back, but it's a little different. Here are the ones that are closest to my heart; the five I would pick if I had to live with only five albums for the rest of my life.

The Zombies: Odyssey and Oracle


This Will Be Our Year was featured as the closing theme for this week's episode of Mad Men. They make so many cool music choices on that show.

They really do. That scene where Don puts on 'Tomorrow Never Knows' is unforgettable.

God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!

"ragegasm" - /rāj • ga-zəm/ : a logical mental response produced when your favorite band becomes remotely associated with the bro-country genre.

Ever want to hear some Beach Boys songs mashed up together like The Beatles' 'LOVE' album? Check out my mix!

I was the same thing. It's understandable on a Beach Boys board, but it's still funny that most people here talk about modern music either with old bands and artists, or new ones that sound old.

Same here, I think tracks 1-8 in particular are all brilliant. How do you feel about 'Frank' ?
