Good selection, though a little hip-hop heavy. And I gotta get back in the saddle and ream Cynicism for his choices, too 
ugh. White people.

On a slightly unimportant note: some people do read this forum without commenting, you know.
It may be amazing, but I might actually just lurk on the "other" boards outside of the general stuff :-P
That aside, I don't think I've bought 10 albums produced in this decade. I do love some modern artists (I'm a big RHCP fan...If this cd is as good as California, as Cynicism claims, I ought to go buy it :-P), but most of my CDs are musicals, opera, or collections.
Oh, or Belgian music. But you wouldn't know what language they're singing in, let alone what they're saying, so that'd serve little purpose.

It is the silver medal to Californication's gold.

To tell you the truth, I've been burned out with the Chilli Peppers for a while...and I think that Stadium Arcadium is overall forgettable, besides the big to-do about the first single. But then again, their output has always been decently entertaining, so it's not hate...just...indifference.
Out of your list, CK, the only one that would probably make top 20 would be Rockin' the Suburbs, though that's from just personal connection. Ben Folds does have a knack for being a talented pianist and a showman, which works to its advatage in Suburbs...which is probably the last one where I felt he pulled it off right. Silverman was undercooked, and Way to Normal felt like he was trying too hard to keep some of that bite. Either way, that CD is dear to me--or atleast, a younger fomer me--and I really wished I mentioned that in my honorable mentions

I'm partial to the last two Pearl Jam albums released, partly because I feel like they are one of the few rock bands to be putting out honest music (if not a bit too political). Their self titled album and Backspacer (which I'd think is a stupid name if it weren't named after the sea turtle they sponsored or something like that) were both a return to a more energetic sound.
I also discovered a band called No More Kings which was a nice, more upbeat band with clever enough lyrics that contain enough references to pop culture past that I happen to get. You might have seen their video "Sweep the Leg", which has the entire male cast of the Karate Kid (and I thought the chick too).
But, I'm not a fan of most music that comes out, so I can't do a top 10.
