^ I don't know about that, but Dummy by Portishead came from 1994. Exceptional and timeless album nonetheless.
A dozen albums from 2000-2009

Off the top of my head:

Tenacious D - Tenacious D
The Pick of Destiney - Tenacious D

I'm pretty sure they're talking about the album that came out in 2008, though it sounds like it came out during the New Wave movement of the early 80s (like seemingly half of everything released these days).
That would be my guess, too.
I really like it myself, though it's cheesier than a lot of the stuff I liked back then.
Which is a good thing.

That's from 1998. A little later than you thought, but still a bit too old for this thread. Nice to see some Gaslight Anthem mentions in here, even though there's only one song by them that I really love.
My favourite albums of the decade so far:
1. The Unlovables - Heartsickle (2007)
2. The Queers - Pleasant Screams (2002)
3. Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Blow in the Wind (2001)
4. The Foxboro Hot Tubs - Stop, Drop, and Roll! (2008)
5. Green Day - Warning (2000)
6. The Manges - The Manges 'R' Good Enough (2002)
7. Zolof the Rock and Roll Destroyer - Schematics (2007)
8. The Unlovables - Crush, Boyfriend, Heartbreak (2004)
9. The Muffs - Really Really Happy (2004)
10. Avoid One Thing - Chopstick Bridge (2004)
For me, at least, there's been tons of great albums after 2000:

^ Ha really? I just bought, today, my 22nd album from 2009 alone! And surely if you wanted more you can count Fear of a Blank Planet and Insurgentes!
Them Crooked Vultures, by the way - supergroup made up from QOTSA, Foo Fighters and Led Zeppelin. Overlong in my opinion but anyone who likes QOTSA should definitely check it out. Kinda Songs for the Deaf meets middle-era Led Zep meets Era Vulgaris.

So far in 2009 I've bought 19 actual CDs. As for buying downloads from itunes and emusic, considerably more. (emusic is a lot cheaper than itunes, but doesn't have any major labels -- unless you're in the USA, where you get some major label stuff and pay more. Plus it's subscription based, so you get X number of downloads a month, and they don't carry over to the next month, so you use them or lose them.)
For the hell of it, here's the albums I've bought in 2009 (not necessarily released in 2009):

Yes I did buy Fear of a Blank Planet. I don't have Insurgentes though.
Slightly off-topic, but still... you and some others here might appreciate this webpage. Be sure to watch the Focus video a little ways down. It's classic.

^ Good call on Neon Bible. It tends to get overlooked because it had to follow Funeral, but it has great songs as well, not least Black Wave/Bad Vibrations and My Body is a Cage.
Grizzly Bear's Yellow House and Veckatimest are superb as well. Why they have a song on the new Twilight soundtrack beggars belief.
