Best (non-metal) albums of the 2000s

Sometimes I listen to music other than metal.  Here are my top 21 favorite non-metal albums of the 2000s, in order from oldest to newest.  The year 2000 is a pretty good cut off date for me in terms of music because it represents the end of an era of music (the 90s) that I really loved, having played in cover bands in the 90s.  My post 2000 album list consists of a few popular things, and a bunch of obscurity.

  1. Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park (2000)
  2. Magic Line - Stellar* (2001)
  3. More Than You Think You Are - Matchbox Twenty (2002)
  4. Futures - Jimmy Eat World (2004)
  5. In Your Honor - Foo Fighters (2005)
  6. Something Like Strangers - Stellar* (2006)
  7. The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance (2006)
  8. Chase This Light - Jimmy Eat World (2007)
  9. Pretty.  Odd. - Panic! at the Disco (2008)
  10. The Resistance - Muse (2009)
  11. How I Got Over - The Roots (2010)
  12. Right Here - Boh Runga (2010)
  13. Undun - The Roots (2011)
  14. Vices and Virtues - Panic! at the Disco (2011)
  15. Wasting Light - Foo Fighters (2011)
