Editor's Picks: Soundtracks & Broadway

Who doesn't like to take a night out and see a show? Whether you prefer silver screen action or show tunes and dancin', the 21st century has already provided plenty of great music for both. O Brother, Where Art Thou? proved that everything old can be cool again, while The Producers made a mega-hit out of exploring the "so bad, it's good" principle. See all our picks for these musical genres:

Best of the Decade... So Far

Best of the Decade in Music... So Far

Since the turn of the millennium, there's been a flood of new CDs: hundreds of thousands. Amazon.com's team of music editors has sifted through the bounty and come up with our own list of the cream of the crop (arranged in chronological order). You might prefer country, heavy metal, alternative, or good ole pop: whatever it is, there's something in here for you, from Brian Wilson and Loretta Lynn to Kate Bush.

Editor's Picks: Rock and Pop

Green Day hauled rock music across the century mark without dropping an ounce of intensity. Norah Jones found mega-success with her unique blend of pop-folk, jazz and country. And the Shins have taken a big part in setting the course for indie rock going forward. Take a look at our lists and see what you think about the half-gone 00s.

Editor's Picks: Pop and R&B

Pop and R&B have had a great decade so far, with albums as diverse as Bachelor No. 2 from Aimee Mann, and Voodoo from D'Angelo. See all our picks for these musical genres:

Editor's Picks: Classical

For all the doomsaying about the classical record industry, the new millenium has so far given us a harvest of enduring releases, whether your preference is for such classics as The Goldberg Variations or new music by John Adams or today's opera scene-makers in an unforgettable account of Benjamin Britten's Billy Budd.

›Best Classical of the Decade... So Far

Editor's Picks: R&B, Hip-Hop, and Dance/DJ

To break into the 2000s artists need to walk the line where innovation and technology meets soul and style. Leela James, Outkast, and Daft Punk are three of the many who we think have done great work to become and stay relevant.

Editor's Picks: Country & Folk

Old-time music never did leave us, but by the turn of the century, it had largely faded from the public eye. Then the soundtrack to O Brother, Where Art Thou? was released, and it experienced a resurgence that was nothing short of phenomenal. Some of the best country and folk music of the decade comes from this tradition, including Time (The Revelator) from O Brother performer Gillian Welch and Adrienne Young & Little Sadie's The Art of Virtue.
