Albums of the year as chosen by users of the Fediverse - 2000

25 years ago. A quarter of a century. A lot has happened since then but the good music lives on. With that, I asked for your favourite album from the year 2000 for this edition of albums of the year as chosen by users of the Fediverse. Once again there were plentiful responses for which I am grateful. Let’s dig in to the results!

This was a usual one. There is no outright winner for any of the podium places. There is a tie for first place, a tie for second place and everyone other album that received a submission is technically tied for bronze.

So without further ado, the joint winners for the year 2000 are:

Dopethrone by Electric Wizard

&

Clayman by In Flames

Two really good albums. Neither of them were my pick but they definitely would have made by shortlist. Congratulations to these two classics.

Now there was also a tie for the silver medal. This time it’s a tie between four different albums. They are:

The Art of Drowning by AFI

The Sophtware Slump by Grandaddy

Wasp Star by XTC

Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven by Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Quite a variety of choice there! So as mentioned, no album able to make third place their own, with all the following albums trying to squeeze their way on to the podium for share that spot. The remains albums are as follows:

I Saw It! The Witch Before I Could Only See Sense by Fushitsusha

Gold & Green by OOIOO

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park

Daises of the Galaxy by Eels

Upstyledown by 28 Days
