1. The Big Come Up - Black Keys
2. 59 Sound - Gaslight Anthem
3. Is This It - Strokes
4. All My Homies Hate Ticket Master (Live from the Red Rocks) - Zach Bryan (generally hate live albums but this one is my one exception really)
5. El Camino - Black Keys
 
After about a year and a half, I’m changing my list

2. The Dirty South- Drive-by Truckers
3. That Lonesome Song- Jamey Johnson
4. Metamodern Sounds in Country Music- Sturgill Simpson
5. Purgatory- Tyler Childers

Since 2000, I have discovered a lot of older blues records from the 30s, 40s and 50s. As I get older, my fave music gets older.
 
1. "Toxicity" - System of a Down (2001)
2. "The Eminem Show" - Eminem (2002)
3. "Nightmare" - Avenged Sevenfold (2010)
4. "The Day After" - Twista (2005)
5. ".5: The Gray Chapter" - Slipknot (2014)

This is my list for today. #1 is locked in - "Toxicity" is unquestionably the best album of the 21st century; the rest shuffle around and in & out with mood.
