The greatest albums since Time began


Outkast are included, but who has been unjustly cast out?
Time magazine have printed their ALL-TIME (boom boom) 100 "greatest and most influential" albums ever. You can see the full list here.

They're not ranked one to 100 but divided into decades - and only five albums made since the beginning of the decade, not counting compilations, have made the cut. They are Kanye West's The College Dropout, Radiohead's Kid A, PJ Harvey's Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea, Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP and Outkast's Stankonia.

Has the decade really been that barren? What would your classic noughties albums be - and what do you think of the ones that Time selected?
