@@GameJunkyard11 oops on my part
I'm more of a J-S.Bach man.
The Strokes Is This It is a hard 10 from me, not for nostalgia either. It's so cute and cheeky and dirty and muffled and smooth. It definitely pioneered alt rock and defined the sound of the 00's.
Both this and Room on Fire are classics. Good pick for a 10 😁
@@fish4814 I don't disagree!
I was waiting for this one!
I will agree it defines the sound of the 00s... That's not a good thing.
"Pioneered alt rock"? You're a funny guy, man. Apparently R.E.M. and Nirvana never happened.
But yeah, great album tho. At least we can agree on that.
and Bjork produced that album at home after a long time gathering micro beats around the house and insects noises, it's an insane but very calming way of creating music
If you make this into a series id love to hear what your favourite albums of the 1770’s are…

No shit.
@@connorsexsmith6414 You already replied with this to another comment from earlier. Hilarious and original
The system of a down album will always be a 10 to me. My dad would literally have this blasting whenever me and my little brother would visit him at the weekend, I’d have been around 10 and would get so embarrassed because he’d go through the streets BLARING bounce. The stares of the ol people on a Sunday morning would kill me! Good memories, I now do this at the age of 23
Im 21 and have a very similar story with my mom and nirvana. She’d always drive through the centre of town at 8 in the morning on the way to school blasting all things grunge and embarrassed the heck out of 8 year old me.
Nowadays im doing the same with nirvana, QotSA, the new silverstein album, DGD, SoaD.

Yes!

I knew Discovery had to be on here. It is such an easy pick.
The range is unbelievable, so many of the songs are absolute classics. Digital Love, Face to Face, Harder Better Faster Stronger. 20 years later and One More Time is still one of the biggest hits and most fun songs to hear in any night club, pretty much anywhere in the world (at least the places I've been to). And every single song slaps. What a masterpiece.
Veridis Quo my man, that's the banger.
@@blabiluigi9549 Voyager ❤
Agreed. The musical range on that albums is electronic perfection. Amazing pop singles paired with some brutal beats in the instrumental tracks. And that production.
@@blabiluigi9549 I think it’s too repetitive, but I still like it
Listened to Vespertine for the first time today and it left me crushed. Abso-freaking-lutely a 10/10
It’s my favourite album atm, it was tpab for like 6 months but this has overtaken it for me for now, also try listen to lift your skinny fists like antennas to heaven, it’s pretty great but also long each track is around 20 minutes but only 4 tracks
I'm envious. Wish I could listen to for the first time again
We definitely need you to continue this series... I need more albums to listen to!!
List to jaylib
Well go check out some albums then.. Or do you need Fantano to form your opinion for you before listening
@@jasonm3717 he’s a great way to find more music dog they just wanna be put on to more stuff. There’s so much music out there looking up best albums of a given decade is just gonna give u basic stuff
just look up rate your music and their top charts for every single genre, the community there is mostly pretentious but you can find a lot of great albums this way, especially if you wanna listen to something from another country (ex: some hip hop brazilian and EU portuguese albums go hard and that's just one example.)
So? Just listen to them. Nobody's stopping you. Grow a spine you coward.
It’s great to see Rich Minion by Yeat getting the recognition it deserves. Well done, Melon!
I count money
When Anthony Fanta repeated the lines. “Yeah, I don't like Vector (I don't like-, I don't like Vector)
Yeah, I don't like Vector (take 'em out)” it really made me think 🤔.
I'd have to give The Strokes "Is this It" album a 10/10. Such a good album every song hits, and it still sounds amazing today.
Funny I was just inspired to listen to it again after a decade. I found it super dated and cringe.
Agreed
Great album
Room on Fire is better
Overrrated, for sure, There is just nothing remarkable about it. It's just a cheap throw back.
Discovery was on HEAVY rotation in my younger years. Daft Punk and Deadmau5 were the first musicians that made me start thinking about music differently.
ME TOOOO
ME THREE
I feel like deadmau5 deserves a little more recognition. He may not have had the same influence on electronic music as Daft Punk, but his creativity is impressive.
Can't wait to see Guillaume de Marchaut finally get the recognition he deserves once melon extends this series up until 10/10s of the 14th century 🔥🔥
It's amazing however (seriously) how there seems to be a universal agreement that Machaut is the best of his century (!!!). I wonder how we would go about naming the best music maker of the 20th or the 21st century. I bet we wouldn't agree as much...
@@davidunger3199 Well for the 21st century we're missing too much to even hazard a guess. As for the 20th, for comparison I think the agreement on Machaut would be less universal if you asked someone from the early 15th century

Josquin is my jam!
unironically such a great comment. Agnus Dei is legitimately amazing. Had the privilege to hear it during music history class.
Love this videos concept. A lot of people wanted to know if you saw classic albums as 10s, so now they know.
I don’t think all the classics weeks he has done are 10s tho. He rated Thriller an 8 and Give Up a 9 on RYM.
@@tylersquanto8938 That’s what Joshua is saying. Now people know that he doesn’t necessarily think all his classic reviews are 10s.
@@EuriLochus yeah i think it can be classic without being a 10, probably not lower than an 8 though. Its usually more about the impact of the album than the album itself even if it is THAT good.
@@mysticshawty1234 Yeah, the nature of a “classic” review seems to imply more of the cultural impact, rather than one’s own personal opinion, and this tracks well with what Fantano seems to do.

Man, a shame that In Rainbows couldn't get inside, but it has really really strong contenders as well, the 2000s was some wild years for music

i’ve been waiting for this video. more pls. also you should talk about jazz more. i wanna know your favourite jazz albums and favourite jazz musicians beyond contemporary stuff
Storm is one of the greatest songs ever. EVER. I watched them for my 32nd birthday (2013) in Portland with Earth opening. Seeing Storm live is something I can’t explain. It was a soul crushing and an uplifting experience. I left that show crying.
Skip forward 9-10 months later and it’s summer again. It was a beautiful mid 70’s day. Clear blue skies. I put on my headphones and hopped on my skateboard. Usually I’d listen to Ghost Town by The Specials, because “duh.” This day I put on Storm. I barely made it a block before I started weeping. The song made me look at my surroundings in a completely different way and I was in such awe of the shear beauty of being alive and the world which blanketed me. I felt it’s warmth and I wanted more. I needed more. It was a torrent of emotions which made me feel alive again.
I’ve maybe felt and experienced this kind of raw visceral emotion only a handful of times.
1) In the depths of addiction.
2) The moment I knew I loved the human that would later be my wife.
3) Watching the life leave one of my best friends.
4) Holding my wife as I watched our child shoot out of her like a rocket on our bed, in our room, in our first home.
5) My mothers attempted suicide and her week long coma.
This is the power of art. This is the power of music.

It is great, Sleep is greater....great album all round.
@@BuckFutton I’m glad you like Sleep more. It doesn’t hit me quite the same. The full album is amazing, but having rooted connections with Storm makes it a completely different experience for me.
There’s nearly no other song in the whole of existence that has made me feel so many different emotions that Storm has. That means more to me than nearly anything.
Definitely keep this series going, I think you could even do a 2000s pt 2
Maybe that's it. I mean, we know how difficult is for an album to be a 10 in Melon's head. There were only 5 tens in the 2010's, maybe the ones he showed here are the only ones for the 2000's
@@franciscoterron9324 THE GLOW PT 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@franciscoterron9324 yeah but I can think of a few he left off that he'd probably say are 10s like Welcome to the Black Parade and The College Dropout
I just saw the black midi interview where Anthony talked about 10s that came out before he started reviewing. It got me thinking and this video came out at a great time. Thanks Melon
Same here
Same!
and the fact that they themselves got a strong 9 this year (really close score to a 10) is just the cherry on top.
@@frackingfluidinjection I think that score is the highest non-10 score Melon has ever given out
Edit: I got it mixed up Cave World by Viagra Boys nvm
@@R-H-B As well as bottomless pit
Man I’m confused. I thought for sure stuff like The Glow Pt. 2 would be here based on what he’s said about them, and I was totally not expecting discovery and toxicity to get that rating (not saying they’re bad tho, love both of them)
He said he would’ve thrown in 1-2 more albums from 2001. I would guess it would’ve been that and Jane Doe
He should’ve also put Mount Eerie on there (arguably better than the glow pt.2)
Love this concept of full lists of 10s. Never listened to the Bjork album so I'm going to give it a go.
Id love to see you review At the Drive in's Relationship of Command, probably my favourite album of all time. Deserves to be on this list in my opinion, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
Ten 10's from the 2000's IMO (one artist limit that wasn't mentioned in the vid):
- In Rainbows
- Songs for the Deaf
- Late Registration
- Since I Left You
‐ Donuts
- Leaves Turn Inside You
- Transatlanticism
- Labor Days
- Funeral
- Turn on the Bright Lights
I would have loved for him to talk about Leaves Turn Inside You, it’s definitely a 10 IMO as well
funeral by wayne?
you forgot castaways and cutouts
Giving Turn on the Bright lights a 10 is borderline underating it
@@exotic_blitz7747 I think it’s Arcade Fire
My absolute 10/10 for the 2000s in In Rainbows. Anytime anyone asks me to recommend them an album, this is always my go-to & everyone I’ve shown, from teenagers to coworkers, has loved it!
yes yes yes yes yes!! my favorite album of the 2000s
My favourite too
Crazy how he didn't include In rainbows in this
In Rainbows is my fav album of all time. I really don’t know how it’s not in here. Low key mad at Fantano lol
@@someguy315 didn’t include kid a either and both of those are his two favorites
These are great choices. I’d put Tools Lateralus in as well. At least in my opinion. It’s got some transition songs that are weird but the songs themselves are incredible
good call, but if you have to say "but", then it isn't 10/10 ;)
@@mattypearce what he said
I don't think those transitional songs can be held against an album, they could easily be part of the songs themselves, and often are for music videos (parabol/parabola). They just break things up into friendlier chunks for commercial purposes or if you're dipping into it.
@@VivaMidnight agreed. That’s why I think it’s a 10/10 album
I don't have a problem with the transitional parts of the album at all - in fact I don't think it gets enough credit for how well it transitions and flows. I can see how it can be kind of jarring for a first time listen - Ticks and Leeches in particular is in kind of a jarring position on the album - but the more I listen to it the more I think everything fits just fine. Even the obligatory Tool bridge tracks are some of the most perfectly used in their entire discography. It's definitely a 10 for sure, fuck what all the haters have to say. 😎
And evidently, it too came out in 2001, what an interesting year for music, ha ha!!
1.Radiohead - Kid A
2. Daft Punk - Discovery
3. Kanye West - The College Dropout
4. Outkast - Stankonia
5. The Strokes - Is This It

Awesome list excited to see more! Curious to hear your thoughts on The Knife’s “Silent Shout” from 2006 - my personal favorite from the 00s
Fantastic album, broke me ground for me at the time.
That one, Fever Ray's self titled & Bat For Lashes' Two Suns. :)
@@cloudyview broke me ground for me too
I still think Deep cuts is better. I mean 'Rock Classics' alone is just unreal.
@@daveysaturn7232 "Deep Cuts" is what got me into them and I love it, it's got a lot of highlights, however there are moments were I think the sequencing of the songs is a bit odd, a few songs maybe could have been left out, (but I cannot point which), but over all the album doesn't always flow well. On the other hand, while the darker "Silent Shout" lacks the obvious highlights, it flows better and it sounds like what an album should. I think that with "Silent Shout" The Knife found their sound, as that album is quite unique.
Love this idea for a video series! I was a huge fan of Toxicity as a kid, and I discovered Godspeed (and so many other 10 artists) watching your content. Looking forward to a 90s video!
Vespertine is like the best dream you've ever had but better, because you can just keep pressing play and experiencing it all over again
I don’t even love Vespertine that much but that’s an amazing description
Listened to every album as you mentioned them. thank you, quite an experience.
I would say Donuts as well. One of the only albums that really sounds totally fresh no matter how many times I listen to it.
Agreed
the sampling of donuts is very creative and cool
J Dilla forever, he was a beat virtuoso
Facts
Dilla was an innovator. Pretty niche though, his beats on their own especially. His style didn't really catch on other than in lo-fi and jazz scenes. There's a large demographic that dislikes how lazy a lot of Dilla's production sounds, and I totally get that. He was one of the first to introduce a natural swing to his beats, other than that, he had a lot of hip-hop producer tropes that people didn't like. (entire tapes of loops, a lot of his songs are pretty abrupt, etc)
Dude yess do this more!!! ive been dying to know your opinion on pre 2010 albums, and classic week doesnt come often enough
In rainbows and Merriweather post pavilion are other 10s from the 2000s. Good list!
Donuts by J Dilla absolutely deserves to be here, possibly the best produced hip hop album of all time in my opinion
Yes, it does! Such a masterpiece. I should re-listen it soon.
The greatest instrumental album ever made. Man I want a donut now
Something I've been interested in a while from you Melon. I know you've mentioned 10's you haven't officially reviewed but actually seeing them in a video is pretty cool.
For me Burial’s Untrue is an instant 10. Also for the impact that it had on mainstream music.
100% co-sign this opinion
I agree the album is a tenten
he gave it a 9 on stream and on his rym too i think
@@Splash136789 well then, he’s god damned wrong.
first half was amazing. second one was boring asf
Toxicity is such an absolute banger of an album.
Madvillany is one of the few albums over the years that I just manage to fall more in love with as time goes on.
Some of my 10s from the decade are
Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park
Meteora - Linkin Park
Toxicity - System of a Down
Follow the Leader - Korn
L.D. 50 - Mudvayne
Came here to comment Mudvayne LD50 is definitely better than toxicity. I love toxicity but the musicians on that album for any genre is rare to all be that good. Riffs are awesome. Every song is good
solid list, that Korn album is pretty great
Thank you Anthony for doubling the size of my playlist, I was starting to get a little disturbed by alternating tracks from daughters and spellling
I'm surprised that neither Is This It nor Room on Fire made it onto this, since you've mentioned that they were pretty big albums for you going through college
(Still happy to see that Discovery and Madvillainy made it onto here though)
He did say in one his hot take videos that he loves is this it but he doesn't consider it an "all time greatest"
I wonder what makes it not qualify for 10/10 in Anthony’s opinion but one guess is that it is not substantial enough lyrically. But it’s a 10/10 for me baby (one of my all time faves)
Feel like I vaguely remember some video where he said he thought Room on Fire was a stronger album that ITI
All I remember is that in the Strokes tier list video he ranked both albums as S Tier. Personally, it would make sense to me that at least one of the above mentioned albums would be a 10, especially considering that they were ranked 2 tiers above the New Abnormal, which received an 8/10.
But maybe in regard to including Is This It, it would have been one too many albums from 2001 to make the cut ;)
(In my mind it's still a 10/10 though)
He tries to make it as unbiased as possible even though thats impossible, i personally have albums I think are better than actual 10s but music theory wise they probably arent
I've been waiting for a real score for Toxicity for YEARS. thank you Melon. As a system Stan I feel validation.
Vespertine is one of my top 3 favorite albums of all time.
My favourites from the 00's are Kid A, In Ranbows, Vespertine, Y's, Untrue, Harmony In Ultraviolett, The College Dropout & Geogaddi
TCD is easily a 10 fr
Ys is my favourite! Wish more people talked about it
Geogaddi is incredible
Yeah other 2000s 10s that he didn’t mention for me would definitely be The College Dropout, Kid A, Ys, Is this it, Jane Doe, Give up, Who will cut are hair when we’re gone, and sound of silver.
In Rainbows absolutely
Discovery is an insanely good record. 10/10 for sure. Sort of disappointed that Burial - Untrue wasn't featured tho. Especially over here the UK it has been so influential to dance music and is flawless in my eyes
Agreed. Burial’s Untrue is an easy 10 both on artistry and impact.
I'm still confused as to why Justice isn't held in higher regard than Daft Punk. Song for song, and in terms of creative strength, I think Cross outpaces Discovery in almost every way.
@@bc5588 As much as Cross was ahead of its time, I think it was overshadowed by MGMT’s debut album which kick started whole electro indie pop scene.
@@bc5588 I think Justice just has the misfortune of not having strong follow-ups to keep them relevant. I have similar feeling about the debut Digitalism record.
@@sylvianblade75Ironically, Justice won a grammy for remixing electric feel. So Oracular Spectacular probably did more to popularize Justice than to overshadow them, at least in the U.S.
I'd definitely put Hold your Colour by Pendulum up there as well. Came out in 2005 and is likely my top electronic album as well as one of my top overall favorite albums. The album has a ton of variety in vibes from heavier energy boosting songs to more chill and relaxed ones. Production across the album is phenomenal, lyrics when used are great, samples were solid, and the intro into the first song was perfect. While I wouldn't say that any of the individual songs make it into my top songs I don't think any of them are bad and a lot of them are close to hitting that list for me.
YES! I had forgotten how much Pendulum shaped my musical journey but damn, they brought some serious attention to Jungle and DnB.
I absolutely love Plastic Worlds, I go back to that track so often. Agreed that Hold Your Colour is a 10 for sure. They were phenomenal live too.
Great list, I would also add
The mars-volta - deloused in the comatorium, d'angelo - voodoo, burial - untrue. And as a death metal fan: two albums by Morbid Angel and Nile that both have the word "annihilation" in it.
Deloused....fuggin hell yes. Absolute masterpiece.
I'm still looking for the House magic that Discovery gave me. Ive loved Against all Logic, and sometimes Aphex seems to play around with the genre, but I want more.
Drake's latest album dabbles with some house, give it a listen if you haven't already, a truly genre defining album.
the only house record that gave me the same feeling as Discovery so far has been Proux's Back By Popular Demand. not to say there arent other amazing house records, but this has been the only one with that specific vibe on it, imo. check it out
Extra Free Vol. 1 by Lxury is one of (if not) my favorite lo-fi house records. It's remarkably consistent in quality but still manages to stay unique in sound. Listening to it for the first time, I was in awe at how good the production was on so many songs off this album. I definitely recommend checking it out, it seems like not many people have found it yet.
You might like Bae by Yung Bae. It's far from the most original record but is a really fun listen and in my opinion has similar vibe to Discovery.
I like how 3/4 in these comments are recommending you non-House albums. Really goes to show the musical IQ of most fantano watchers lmao
I think a needle drop classics channel in general would be great: an output of the best and worst of past decades as I'd say most all of music listening is discovering old stuff
Yeah me too. I think part of the reason he does so few is that the 5 a year he drops don't even get watched that much
Yeah but I mean look at how much channel and contents he handles at a time...
Great list of records, I would throw in Kid A or In Rainbows, Untrue, Late Registration, and Is This It in the mix as well
i would love to hear a little more elaboration on each of the projects in these videos but I love the idea and would love to see more like it
hes done full reviews for most of them that are linked in the description
Please do more of this for different decades!!!!! Would absolutely love to see what else you would put on this level
Can't even begin to tell you how happy I am that The Big Day landed a spot on here. It really is a commercially overlooked gem that went on to define the wife-core genre. Absolutely deserved
Hilarious and original
@@connorsexsmith6414 your comment is funnier because your name is sex
@@connorsexsmith6414 wife core hater
@@connorsexsmith6414 About as original as replying 'hilarious and original' on multiple comments.
@@snoozley853 You want me to give a detailed explanation on why each of these comments are trash? It's pretty self-explanatory.
glad to see total xanarchy as a 10, truly underrated music
Norah Jones - Come Away With Me still hits me after 20 years and makes me cry. I can't say the same for any other album
She barely wrote anything on that album.
Definitely would love to see a 10s through the ages series. I think it would also be cool to hear some of your deep cut 10s, things that weren’t necessarily massively popular or cult classics, but just albums you’ve thought are insanely good yet lack the praise they deserve
100% agree with your list, Madvillainy is one of my favorite albums ever. Another album I love that I'm surprised you didn't mention is "In Rainbows" given how many times you've talked about loving it as well.
Anthony Fantano should have his own Spotify Genre or Section or just like a dedicated space on Spotify...can someone make that happen?
No 2000's 10/10 list would be complete without Tool's Lateralus.
or Queens of the Stone Age's "Songs for the Deaf"
@@FF-oo8nz This is also true.
Very surprised he didn’t mention The Glow, Pt. 2. I always thought that was one of his all time favorite records.
Same here. Glad he said he will keep adding to them
I think that’s one of the others he was considering for 2001
And Jane doe
Overrated af tbh. The first 3 tracks are all time but the rest seems kind of lost?
Phil has way better projects.
Same here, I’m pretty sure it is one of his favorite records though. It’s in my top 3 as well, I literally pulled off on the side of the road and sat there in awe the first time I heard that album.
On a visit to the local library at maybe 14, I was entranced by the Vespertine album cover in the small cd section. Borrowed it, brought it home, and that was it, hooked forever. Bjork helped set part of the framework for my most formative years 🖤 "Pagan Poetry" is just astounding, as is the video.
Nice vid, pleaseee do this with other decades
Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
Frou Frou - Details
Audioslave - Self-titled
Dying Fetus - Destroy the Opposition
Gorillaz - Demon Days
Iron Maiden - A Matter of Life and Death
Great video, you should definitely continue making these! On that note, have you ever talked about Joanna Newsom's "Ys"? I feel like it's a 10 and I'm not sure if you've ever mentioned it.
VESPERTINE YAY! I just bought that on vinyl. I avoided it for years because of a bad breakup with somebody who shared a love of Bjork.
Maybe Vulnicura after?
Its the worst when associations make music you love hard to listen to
@@psychokitty444 That came way later, I was mostly over it.
Dude I’m so psyched that Toxicity made it into this video. I grew up with that album and freaking loved it. Rediscovered my love for the record in the last few years, and now it’s my permanent weed wacking album. Some real adult shit.
Need to weed wack a big ass field? Put that album in your headphones and it’ll go by much faster I promise.
R.I.P MF DOOM
This is my favorite hip hop album..
Really wish he talked about Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone by The Unicorns. He talked about it being a 10 before in a Let's Argue but I wish he talked about it here because that record doesn't get enough love and It's one of my favorite records of all time. I just think more people should listen to it.
What do you like about it? I think people need more convincing before searching it lol
@@thath09 filling in for that guy since I also felt the same thing. it's pretty much everything you'd want from an indie rock album. raw but accessible production, a little bit of unique instrumental flavor with the synths and other sorta childlike instruments, but mainly just centered around great sorta-linear pop songs and a wonderful interplay between the two members - so many instantly quotable vocal bits, like "WE DONT WANT TO DIE, IN THE OCEAN" or "BUT WE WERENT WELCOMEEEEE" or like every line on I Was Born A Unicorn. they had the songwriting and performing chops and the creativity to be doing big experimental pieces if they wanted to and chose to make a very simple and stripped down album with a very simple appeal. perfect for the spring and summer.
@@thath09 not really. Just listen to it and get your own? Opinion
@@tumultuousv nah i wasnt gonna check it out until I saw the guy above you describe it
@@bigdubskis8699 good for you
I'm glad you rightfully gave a shout out to Kevin Federline's "Playing With Fire" as an undisputed 10/10 album from the 2000s
Personally, I would also think Lateralus or White Pony could’ve taken Toxicity’s spot but I gotta agree with the System pick, absolute watershed of an album
Madvilliany is fantastic front to back, but Strange Ways to Rhinestone Cowboy is one of the most mind-blowing displays of track placement on any album I've ever heard, regardless of genre.
