Anything by Linkin Park or Tool. For some reason I can't think of anyone else that has enough good music to be considered a good album (by me). Maybe Evanescence's first album.
I'm sure everyone will disagree with me, but Linkin Park is the band of the decade. I don't think anyone in rock had as many hit songs over the past 10 years as they did.

Probably because that is not only the best of the decade, but one of the best ever.

Here's my go. Tough not having Opeth at #1. After 6.. I kind of just put what I listened to most. That's not usually the kind of stuff I like.

10) Broken Boy Soldiers - The Raconteurs
9) And You Were a Crow - The Parlor Mob
8) Self-titled - As Tall As Lions
7) Self-titled - Saosin
6) El Cielo - dredg
5) Thirteenth Step - A Perfect Circle
4) Year Zero - Nine Inch Nails
3) In the Absence of Truth - ISIS
2) Blackwater Park - Opeth
1) Lateralus - Tool
