The Noughties Report(ies): 2001

Again, 2001 is not a year we remember particularly well in terms of music. We were 11 at the time and as of then, not aware of any single one of those albums above (except Survivor: Destiny's Child have been with us since the beginning). 2001 not only yielded Björk's best critically received album, Vespertine, and Tori Amos' high-concept cover album, but one of the most beautiful and listenable movie soundtracks this decade, a haunting and cohesive Radiohead opus, the real birth of a pop superstar (P!nk's), an American jock-rock alternative band, Incubus, at their most creative and worthy works by two talented male singer/songwriters: Ben Christophers (now playing in Bat For Lashes), and opera-wielding Rufus Wainwright.
  • Destiny's Child - Survivor
  • Incubus - Morning View
  • Björk - Vespertine
  • Rufus Wainwright - Poses
  • Tori Amos - Strange Little Girls
  • Yann Tiersen - Amèlie
  • Radiohead - Amnesiac
  • P!nk - M!ssundaztood
  • Missy Elliott - Miss E... So Addictive
  • Ben Christopers - Spoonface
