I've been good-naturedly criticizing the "stuck in the 70's" bias of the Best Songs thread even though I've been listening to the rock classics (and the classic classics) all my life. I thought I should get better acquainted with the "new stuff" (say since 2000 anyway), but don't know where to start. I checked out the Billboard's critics top 10 albums of the decade list and I'm embarrassed to say I'm only familiar with Radiohead, Amy Winehouse, JayZ, Eminem, and MIA. Of these, I only really like Radiohead and Winehouse. The other 4: Arcade Fire, Strokes, Wilco, and The White Stripes are terra incognito to me (Radiohead has two albums on the list). Arcade Fire's album "Funeral" tops the list. I listened to a couple of songs on the album and I wasn't blown away, but sometimes I need to grow into the music.
Any suggestions on what else I might listen to. I know music is very much a matter of personal taste but some of you might know of some great post-2000 songs that I'm missing. Thanks.
