Taki may be one of the only ones familiar with this project but for 2002 I would also add Down II by Down.

If you like the music of Pantera, you’ll probably like Down as well. This was a side project for musicians that were in Pantera and Corrosion of Conformity as well as others. Good and real hard rockin’ material.

Thanks.

Good list, Phil. I’d forgotten about Alter Bridge. That’s Creed with a new lead singer, isn’t it?

I quite liked what their lead singer did with The Mayfield Four, as well.

Will have to check out Blackstone Cherry.

was the whole overblown stage setup which I hated anyway.

I loved it.

I feel the decade was a nice mix of new music, and many from decades gone by stepping up and producing their best music in a while. Hopefully this list reflects that:

2000 Linkin Park – Hybrid Theory
2001 Journey – Arrival
2002 Audioslave – Audioslave
2003 Muse – Absolution
2004 Alter Bridge – Alter Bridge
2005 Porcupine Tree – Deadwing
2006 Dave Gilmour – On an Island
2007 Foo Fighters – Echoes Silence Patience
2008 Blackstone Cherry – Folklore and Superstition
2009 Europe – Last look at Eden

The last entry (Europe) was a complete shock. Forget The Final Countdown, this is 70s inspired hard rock.
