I would also like to add ‘Fight Club’ as an Honorable Mention, since I saw it in 2000 and is definitely in the top three of all-time.
Good call with Arcade Fire and My Morning Jacket. You might be interested in my top 10 albums of the decade post (if you haven’t had your fill of such list alreadyy). Cheers!
