I did some more digging and I found out that Neko Case is released on Bloodshot records in the 'States
Awesome pick. It was on my list too. in no particular order;
- Dillinger four - versus god
- Digger - Monte Carlo
- Hot Water Music - No Division (I think it was in 2000)
That’s all i can come up with right now…slow year for music
The top 5 albums of 2000:
Vertical Horizon- Everything You Want
Sting- Brand New Day
Matchbox 20-Mad Season
Radiohead-Kid A
U2-All That You can’t Leave Behind
Here’s some more:
Shellac - “1000 Hurts”
Oxes - s/t
Trans Am - “Red Line”
that’s only 3…well, one more -
I’ll second that praise for the Pinback album.
I got that shellac album, and thought it was better than the last one but still not great. I haven’t been blown away with them since At Action Park was released. I didn’t know there was a new TransAM out though, I’m interested to hear that. They are consistently good and interesting.
Definitely Vertical Horizon – “Everything You Want”…an amazing album.
Bare Nake Ladies – “Maroon”
Matchbox Twenty – “Mad Season”
3 Doors Down – “The Better Life”
Fuel – “Something Like Human”
Kristine 
My choices are:
- Vertical Horizon- Everything you want
- Creed- Human Clay
- Barenaked Ladies- Maroon
- Savage Garden- Affirmation
- Vertical Horizon- Live Stages
They’re sorta old and there are 6 of them, but they’re really good:
-“White Pony” by Deftones
-“Bring Your Own Stereo” and “Pushing the Salmanilla Envelope” by Jimmie’s Chicken Shack
-“Life is Peachy” by Korn
-“Dookie” by Greenday
and this one has already been mentioned, but:
-“S&M” by Metallica and the San Fransisco Symphony\
i’ve got two more to add:
Einsturzende Neubauten-Silence is Sexy
Coil-Constant Shallowness Leads
Cock like a Stallion, Iron will.
I love that album. Although Uranus was pretty good too,as was Terraform. Yeah, not as good as Action Park though.
Mad Season by Matchbox 20 is the only CD I actually bought this year…but I think I’ll check out the Johnny Cash CD…
