No.

Let's give it 2 more years before the '00s are over.

Not that MB20:MS is even in the top 100 right now.

No, I don't think that MB20 has created the best of anything.

No. There is no such thing as "the best album" of a certain period or ever or whatever. End of thread.

A little off topic, isn't there a better way to refer to this decade than the 00's?

IMO, The Greatest Album (or anything else for that matter) of the 00's sounds kinda dumb.

you must be A) drunk B) trolling C) both and an idiot.

Anyway, I liked them better before their label renamed them and gave them Rob Thomas.

Tabathas Secret...used to mix them a LONG time ago.

It was a brief side project in 1994/1995 between Layne Staley (Alice in Chains), Mike McReady (Pearl Jam), John Baker Saunders (The Walkabouts), Barrett Martin (the Screaming Trees). It later involved Mark Lanegan (the Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age) after Staley's health worsened. They released one album, Above.

Stating that many pro musicians are better than anyone else to that degree is silly these days. And especially Matchbox 20. No band with a number in their name will ever be taken too seriously... well OK aside from U2...

And even then it's only by pretentious yuppies. Everybody else realizes it's just some guy in cheesy sunglasses yelling, "Wooooo! I can feeeeeeel!"

However, I would argue that the Three Tenors are taken fairly seriously.

In an industry dogged too much by cookie-cutter artists, Mat Kearney is a real breath of fresh air. Let's be honest: What music exec would ever suggest that a blending of John Mayer-like subtle pop, Toby Mac-like rap, and Chris Martin-esque vocals could be rolled together for a winning combination? Stylistically, that's what we get with Kearney's outstanding major-label debut Nothing Left to Lose. Nearly half of this album is culled from Kearney's Bullet release (2004), an independent label breakthrough success for the singer-songwriter. These gems include the pedestrian "Undeniable," the pseudo Coldplay ringer "In The Middle," and the my-girl-is-my-country metaphor of "Girl America." Kearney moves away from his hip-hop sensibilities into a more guitar-friendly pop vein on newer tracks "Crashing Down," "Can't Break Her Fall," "Where We Gonna Go From Here," and "Nothing Left To Lose." The starkly moving "All I Need" will grab your attention as Kearney sings of a couple whose efforts to escape their own relationship problems mirror their attempts to flee a natural disaster. One of the most attractive elements throughout is a sound unlike any other in Christian music. While Kearney does little to mask his own faith in the interest of gaining crossover appeal, it's his multi-flavored art that should draw listeners from all angles. Heart-gripping at moments, thought-provoking at others, Nothing Left to Lose is intelligent throughout and one of the top releases of the year thus far.
