Below is the list of the top 50 albums of the decade by the NME.
This confirms that ;
1) The NME is run by total wankers who know about as much about music as I know about the artificial insemination techniques of mongolian yak herders re their yaks suffering with erectile dysfunction
2)The NME only promotes those bands in its lists who are willing to attend and give an interview to NME journalists eg Pete Doherty a man so bereft of musical talent that the only way his guitar would make a pleasing noise in his presence is if someone smashed it over the idiots head
3) The NME isnt even fit for toilet paper. I know as I have tried. It leaves the ink off of it smeared on your buttocks.
4) Modern music truly is, in the main, shit. I thought the era of fucking idiot boy bands was over, but oh no along comes X factor and we are back in the era of pete fucking waterman again with shit boy bands like JLS. Simon Cowell needs to be given a ticket to ride on Richard Bransons spaceship and then shot into space, so that he can terrorise any lurking extraterrestrial threats beyond our solar system.
I cant be arsed to do a top 50 albums of the decade but here are my top ten albums of the decade and then below it the NME list.
My List ;
1) System of a Down - Toxicity
2)Guns and Roses - Chinese Democracy
3) My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade
4) Foo Fighters - Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace
5) Linkin Park - Minutes to Midnight
6) Johnny Cash - American IV: The Man Comes Around
7) British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music
8) Robert Plant Alison Krauss - Raising Sand
9) Manic Street Preachers - Journal for Plague Lovers
10) Manic Street Preachers - Know Your Enemy

Total shite. This list reads like the albums one would find on iPod the coolest student on campus; total middle-class wank.
Seen system of a down 3 times, well worth a look if you get the chance. Scars on Broadway an offshoot of SOAD are worth checking out the debut album is top notch.
