This is a tough one for me. Musically, I took my eye off the ball. I was busy having kids, buying houses, getting a career and also stopped taking drugs.
Melody AM and Moby's Play are the only 2 albums I know of where every track has been used in a TV ad, these are both from the Noughties.
Ive found im a bit different to most people when it comes to music. I dont latch onto bands because i listened to them when i was a teenager. I continued looking for more. Radiohead or anybody isnt the be all end all of bands. There are endless musically acts that hit all different emotions and talk about all different things. I like to give it all a chance. Radiohead, for how good they are, are fairly limited. Theyre also messy when they get their most creative allowing for 'too many' notes pretty much eliminating all sense of melody and structure. You can say they were going for that but that doesnt make for good music to me. I also feel they get almost no sense of joy from music. Its never fun.
Ive gone throw so many bands and can generally find something worthwhile in most. I want it to be an ongoing thing. I dont think ill ever settle with a set of bands. Always grow.

Play was released in 1999.
I didn't want to correct you, which is why my heart feels so bad. And why my soul feels so bad.

Yes.
Just love "Electric Feel".
I've got every Radiohead album from The Bends onwards yet I'd never say I was a massive fan. From Kid A onwards each album had two or three amazing tracks then the rest I could happily skip past.
Great music is both timeless and without bias or borders for me.
Always looking for new stuff but good music will always remain good - That's why the Beatles or Velvet Ungerground (for instance) gain a new set of fans every generation.

I bought it in 2000 so it counts.

In that case I'd like to add the Beatles' White Album to this list.
...and the Best Of Glenn Miller.
2000 onwards has been a good era for discovering old music.
18 was as good as Play imo, that was definately noughties.

Definitely. I started to listen to a lot of 70's funk, some jazz and a lot of African music
Slightly off topic but was watching BBC documentary on Mike Oldfield the other day, now despite what you may think of him/his music, he was only 19 when he made Tubular Bells, playing almost every instrument himself, thats some feat for a 19 yr old.
6Music has got me listening to a lot of older stuff that I either ignored or was before my time.

Great album.
I watched a bit of the Mike Oldfield documentary and decided it was worth watching in its entirity when I wasn't doing other things. Recorded for a future evening.
I've seen it. It's well worth watching

Same. Giles Peterson has introduced me to loads of new stuff, same with Lauren Laverne. Radcliffe and Maconie just make me laugh like a drain

I like a lot of his stuff.
Music of the Spheres is from 2008, I think. Great album.
And Guitars is fantastic. I also bought The Songs of Distant Earth, after reading the Arthur C . Clarke album from which it took its name.

one thing i will say about a lot of todays bands, there's a lot ofOooh eey ooh, oh oh oh oh, eh oh oh ohgoing on, just listen to the TV ads that use them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There's a few bands who do this a lot, can' think of any proper lyrics? Of Monsters and Men and Bastille are two of the top of my head.
Last year there was an annoying trend in adverts that the music was a soppy, acoustic version of a well known song, usually sang slowly by a female vocalist, sounds sh** and got on my nerves.
You know, because if anything can improve Gimme Shelter or That's Entertainment it's a Glee/X Factor cast off whispering the lyrics while playing a Ukulele

This has been one of my bugbears for a few years now, taking a song and getting some woman who sounds like a seven yr old girl to sing it "nursery rhyme" style
