so many great albums came out that decade it's so hard to pick

i think it might be Is This It tbh

American Idiot

Is This It because it's great and also the most popular one

indie?

definitely not indie rock lol

chocolate starfish and the hot dog flavored water

easily one of the most influential albums to come out that decade for sure

i'd say Turn on the Bright Lights too. it definitely laid the groundwork for The Killers' discography, especially the debut

Objectively it’s definitely Is This It

Funeral if we talking personal

Funeral is up there for sure i love that album, but i prefer Neon Bible slightly more. that album is just pure perfection

this album influenced multiple genres

Came itt ti say Is This It

No Cars Go may be a top 10, top 5 song of all time for me

Can’t forget the brits

Bloc Party - Silent Alarm another good one

yessss

Is This It? 🤔😉😏

I obviously use the other cover tho

Silent Alarm

booty cover is the best

it also feels like it kinda encapsulates the way rock essentially just became "indie" even after the style(s) became more mainstream and essentially lost the original meaning. in early 00s there were still obviously non-indie huge rock bands but i think as the decade ended those faded out and in the 2010s and now the good rock mostly falls under the indie umbrella or alternative at the very least

Is This It doesn't really sound anti-mainstream and it's also pure rock enough to be a good broad answer even though there are indie rock albums I enjoy more. its the sound of pure unadulterated rock for the new century, calling back to the past as well as into the future

easily their best song imo

s*** gets me hyped every time i hear it

Tbh

EDIT: Didn't see it was mentioned earlier, uhhhhh Strawberry Jam? I dunno

100% Funeral as much as I dislike Win Butler's contributions to it and the album's mixing.

Arcade Fire's rise is also more true to the expectations of purists compared to the Strokes for sure.
