    Not sure who I would vote for but it wouldn't be them! :p Although I do like some of their stuff. And don't understand why they get slammed so much. I love the song 'Side Of A Bullet'!

    The Beatles. All of the remasters have been the greatest musical release of the decade IMO.

    Also, the Pink Floyd DSOTM SACD. Or was the pre-2000? I seem to recall '02 for some reason...

    Here is the MP3. Give it a listen.

    Seriously. If you like them, fine. But you are buying the same tired crap over and over again. And believe me, they are not the only band that does this.

    That will NEVER mean that they are good, let alone the "best" of the decade!!! Once again world....on behalf of Canada I apologize for Nickleback.
    And Bryan Adams....and Celine....

    Thanks for a good laugh Bobman!!! That was great.

    Oh and my pick for "best" of decade goes to Dave Matthews Band.

    Oh I dunno. I have heard plenty of good stuff. Recent NIN releases, White Stripes, Raconteurs, Tool (Lateralus and 10,000 Days), Aimee Mann, Tori Amos... I could go on and on really.

    If you aren't hearing anything good these days. You aren't listening. I'm never caught up with new music I wanna buy. Let alone older stuff I need.

    Oh I listen,long enough to turn it off or switch channels. Comes down to taste I guess. NIN... has some good stuff,Tool on the other hand,gives me a headache in the first 10 seconds.

    Just my .02, but it seems they will give any talentless creep a microphone these days. Music has become more about marketing than creativety. T & A sells the product,not necessarily the music itself. Personally,I look at music as something to move me emotionally,or take me back in a time warp to that special place or moment in time,most but not all, of todays music does neither for me.Again,just my .02
