Honorable Mention - TV on the Radio
By Gregg Sparks | Dec. 11, 2009Of course, a lot of bands released great albums in the 2000s, and TV on the Radio certainly is one of them. They released 3.5 albums during the decade to increasing popular and critical success, and the content of those 3.5 albums is almost ceaselessly creative, sometimes seeming as if they've assimilated the entirety of music to formulate their own pot-clanging, jury-rigged harmonies. From rock 'n' roll to doo wop, electronic and post-punk, they produce a synthesis that feels often gauzy but precise, electronic but warm and ambitious but still natural. They are one of the most unique, interesting and potent bands currently making music, and have been since their debut 2003 EP (Young Liars).
