Top albums from NME magazine

This is a link from the NME website, stating the top 100 albums of the decade. It is in the form of a video blog, with the music video itself and a little statement of opinion about it from the NME editors.
The top ten are Radiohead, The Streets, Interpol, Arcade Fire, Pj Harvey, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Arctic Monkeys, Primal Scream, The Libertines and The Strokes.
In my opinion these bands are all very individual in the way that they are presented, and their music genre. They are all of the same indie type of genre, whether that is mainstream or independent indie rock.

This is a link from the same website, stating the top 10 singles of the noughties. The artists that have been stated are those that are were once a part of the pop culture. They had pop hits that hit number ones etc. This research is not entirely relevant to my project so i shall not take it into great consideration.
