Im discovering far more music now from the 60's-90's than i am anything from the 2000's.
But there has still been some great albums.
But actually they're quite a good indication of the quality of mainstream music in general. The last two (95 and 96) are surprisingly good overall. Some of the earlier ones are a bit shit… can't remember what 78 is like . I own over two thirds of them, so it becomes a bit of a blur after a while .
It took a while to go through my post-2006 albums (I have almost 500 according to my iTunes library, although that includes singles and compilations), but here are some of them… favourite from each artist if I've got more than one.

Hard to pick a favourite, but at a wild stab… Marianne Faithfull, Give My Love To London.
"Take these three items, some WD-40, a vise grip, and a roll of duct tape. Any man worth his salt can fix almost any problem with this stuff alone." - Walt Kowalski
"Only two things are infinite - the universe, and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the universe." - Albert Einstein
Morning Phase - Beck.
Lost in the Dream - War on Drugs.
Pressure and Time - Rival Sons.
Primrose Green - Ryley Walker.
Everything - Ryan Adams.
I'll throw in Adore Life by Savages which trendy people seem to like and not realise it sounds like Bauhaus, but it's very good.
Walter Trout - Blues for the Modern Daze; it's hard work to recommend white blues and old Walter is as dull as they come but for 40 minutes he raised the level.
Wilko Johnson and Roger Daltrey - Going Back Home; more old duffers having fun.
Magic - Don't Kill the Magic; I wouldn't say it's 100% solid but it's much, much better than a pop reggae band from Canada ought to be.
Richard Thompson - Acoustic Classics; one of my least favourite things to do with a guitar is have a single acoustic behind someone singing but this is the exception. Richard has a huge back catalogue and he kindly condensed a lot of the best bits into this [okay, new versions if not new songs].
Jim Campilongo - Orange or Dream Dictionary; the latter is easier listening although both can be a bit hard work as a listen end to end. However, as a pure form of making a noise from the electric guitar he's hard to beat.
And that other one that I've listened to loads and loads in the last ten years but for some reason I can't quite think of now but will do so in about three days and add to this Discussion then long after everyone has lost interest...
Silverball by Barenaked Ladies...also the recently released "Ladies and Gentlemen: Barenaked Ladies and the Persuasions" - which are re-worked BNL tracks with Acapella band the Persuasions adding some awesome vibes.
Asymmetry and Wired by Mallory Knox
Priorities and Automatic by DON BROCO.
