I feel like at moment i am quite happy with my current knowledge of who to look out for and and some of the great work that has been done over the last 3 years.
But my knowledge before 2012 is so very poor can anyone give me a list of the best albums in the period between 2000 or earlier to 2012, so i can compile a playlist and get educated.

Thanks everyone.
 
Shotdown On Safari is one of my fav's
