2001 was a great year for albums

I started noticing the last couple years that many albums I remember fondly were released in 2001, so I got curious: What other albums did I listen to at one time that came out in 2001?

The list was longer than I thought! It might have been because these albums were popular during formative time for me, but I still listen to a lot of these today.

In the order they came to mind:

  • The Strokes – Is This It
  • Sum 41 – All Killer, No Filler
  • System of a Down – Toxicity
  • Gorillaz – Gorillaz
  • Daft Punk – Discovery
  • Jimmy Eat World – Bleed American
  • Freezepop – Freezepop Forever
  • Converge – Jane Doe
  • Blink-182 – Take Off Your Pants and Jacket
  • Weezer – Green Album
  • Andrew W.K. – I Get Wet
  • The White Stripes – White Blood Cells
  • Staind – Break the Cycle
  • Britney Spears – Britney
  • Jay-Z – The Blueprint
  • Busta Rhymes – Genesis
  • Ludacris – Word of Mouf
  • Destiny’s Child – Survivor
  • Dave Matthews Band – Everyday
  • Jennifer Lopez – J.Lo
  • Green Day – International Superhits! (I know this is a compilation album, but I had the CD and it was the first Green Day album I had.)
  • Tomahawk – Tomahawk
  • Incubus – Morning View
  • No Doubt – Rock Steady
  • Alien Ant Farm – Anthology
  • Nickelback – Silver Side Up (Nickelback gets made fun of a lot now, but this album was huge.)
  • Puddle of Mudd – Come Clean
  • Saliva – Every Six Seconds
  • Static-X – Machine
  • P.O.D. – Satellite

What is the stand-out year for albums that have stuck with you?

    @cagrimmett I hated 2001 music when I was in 2001. The only standout albums for me at the time were Music to Make Love to your Old Lady By (Lovage), white blood cells and toxicity, and the gym-music-ification of toxicity has ruined it for me since

    Since then I’ve loved drugks (aphex twin) and Time the Revelator (Gillian Welch) but for me that was the peak of crap commercial schlock rock

      @cagrimmett (not trying to yuck your yum, apologies for the negative-ish response! Was just how I felt at the time)

    Thanks, Chuck. I only know the Dave Matthews Band, EVERYDAY, which I loved. Otherwise, there are foreign to me. That same year, I was listening to Radiohead and prog!
