What Did You Rate This Decade?
December 18, 2009 in DYS News by Martin T
As we near the end of the year that has been known as 2009, and enter 2010, a new decade and the year that the World Cup will return to these shores (we can dream!), Martin T has a challenge for you all. Lets find out what you think the best albums of the 2000’s have been.
It started on January 1st 2000, as soon as we had woken up to the realisation that the computers were not going to reset and cause Armageddon. Much has happened since that morning in worlds of politics, climate, ecomony and so on, but we don’t want to talk about that! We are here to talk the arts, and in particular music and film.
So as an end of year challenge we want you to tell us your 5 bests. Comment on this page and we’ll compile the results and let you know at the start of the next decade.
So tell us!
What were the 5 best albums released in the last 10 years?
What were the 5 best films released in the last 10 years?
You don’t have to answer both questions, but try and answer one, it’ll give us a good idea of what you are listening to and watching, and hey, everyone loves a list right? I’ll be posting mine below very soon.
Have a very happy Christmas and a great new year. See you on the other side.

Undoubted worst film, however: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I believe a certain South Park episode, involving scenes with caracatures of Spielberg and Lucas committing certain criminal sexual acts towards Indy, addresses my feelings on the matter perfectly well.
