(Dernière Revision : Aoüt 2002.)

L'année des anciens.
Assez peu de premiers albums ou de "découvertes". Et une année de rattrapage de lacunes sur un certain nombre de classiques (Velvet Underground, Nick Drake, Who...). Ceci explique cela ? Pas si sûr.

(Dernière Revision : Aoüt 2002.)

I don't think 2000 was a tremendous year for pop music, as 1999 had been (see dEUS, Venus, GbV, my top-three last year). Big stars made damn good and promising albums (Kid A), but no groundbreaking stuff ; newcomers were rare and modest (except ATDI). But all of the music presented below is certainly worth a listen, and the top-five are definitely must-haves (in all categories).

1. Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump
2. Venus - The man who was already dead
3. Coldplay - Parachutes

9. Autour de Lucie - Faux Mouvement
10. Sigur Ros - Ágætis Byrjun
