118/140

Since the end of the decade is coming up shortly, and there has been a number of these threads in the last.fm forum already- I wanted to list with an explanation, what I would consider my favorite albums of this decade.

First, the explanation: I want to focus on original music here. There is no sense listing "Best of" albums or compilation albums that merely repackaged tracks from the 90s or 80s. I also didn't want to include live performances because those albums so rarely include new material, or albums that consist mostly of remixes of old material.

Second, I am really not talking about any particular genre here- this is just "of the stuff I listen to," so its going to be a mix of Neue Deutsche Todeskunst, symphonic metal, gothic rock, and a few other genres here & there. Realistically it would be hard for me to do a "top 20 albums of 2000-2009" pertaining to gothic rock only anyway using my criteria because most of the stuff I listen to from that genre is from the 90's.

So that aside, this is my list:
1. Untoten - Vampire Book
2. Flowing Tears - Thy Kingdom Gone
3. Switchblade Symphony - Sweet, Little Witches
4. Theatre Des Vampires - Desire Of Damnation
5. Lacrimosa - Lichtgestalt
6. Bloodflowerz - 7 Benedictions 7 Maledictions
7. Darkwell - Metatron
8. Sirenia - At Sixes and Sevens
8. The Sins of Thy Beloved - Perpetual Desolation
9. Flowing Tears - Serpentine
10. Bloodflowerz - Dark Love Poems
11. Sirenia - An Elexier For Existence
12. Whispers in the Shadow - Into The Arms Of Chaos
13. Elusive - looked doors, drinks and funerals
14. Star Industry - Last Crusade
15. Evig Natt - I Am Silence
16. Flowing Tears - Razorbliss
17. Mortal Love - Forever Will Be Gone
18. Elis - Griefshire
19. Akoma - Angels Of Revenge
20. Mandragora Scream - Madhouse


I can think of several releases of this decade that were great- but lacked enough new material for me to want to include it in my "20 most memorable albums" list. This would include in no real order:
-Lichtjahre by Lacrimosa
-Tragic Years: A Collection of Early Releases & More by Sanguis et Cinis
-Karneval: Best of by XIII. Století
-Vampyres, Witches, Devils & Ghouls by Nosferatu
-Wenches, Wytches And Vampyres by Two Witches
-The Best of Nosferatu, Vol. 1 by Nosferatu
-Sinister Nostalgia: A Switchblade Symphony Remix Collection by Switchblade Symphony
-A Retrospective, a box set from Empyrium

I'm sure many people would disagree with my list, I really don't care. If it means that much to you, make your own list.
