It's okay to have absolutely horrid taste. I'm gonna say you actually have not listened to much in your life.
While OPs list is not mine and has no Public Enemy therefore it is invalid, the list is still fairly good.
Also, it's hard for some people to think of Stankonia and Common's first couple in the 2000s as proper albums of the age, but they are shining examples of the 2000s.
What they didn't do is produce those artists though, and that is the problem with the 2000s. Past a couple of dudes it didn't really produce all that much excitement IMO.
The 90s now produced so many dudes, but then again you could say that was the 80s hence people refer to the late 80s up to the mid-90s as the golden age because it by far produced the most long lasting names in the business. All in my opinion I guess, but part of that is objectively true.
And even crazier you could say it was the 60s or 70s that ACTUALLY produced these kids.
And so it goes with rock music too. What I will say is rock is 5x shittier than the good hip hop coming out these days. Shit, I can barely name good bands these days that will exist in ten years lol.
A lot of the big names in bands of the last 15 years like Arcade Fire are only alright IMO. Not a chance they compare to the 80s and 90s crews. Not a single fuck will be given about most of this class in rock.
