    i'm just going to make a list of bands, many of which may be best explored via compilations since this was an era based around singles...
    i'll assume you've already hit up the really big names, also.

    the fendermen
    johnny o'keefe
    the delltones
    little anthony & the imperials
    hasil adkins
    the five keys
    martha & the vandellas
    the platters
    rick nelson
    shelley fabares
    the flirtations
    charlie feathers
    the fireballs

    Songs for the Deaf, mos def.

    Also, French house music, anyone? I know Daft Punk and Justice, and I really like the style.

    I like them, but you have to be in the right mood for them, I'd say. You can go with Wincing the Night Away to start. Or any of them, really. It's not like they're inaccessible by any stretch of the imagination.

    Most likely cheerful. I agree with clashcityrocker though, definitely gotta be in the mood for The Shins. If you're pissed off or sad or w/e, not a good choice.

    Yeah, this. If you're not in a good mood, The Shins may piss you off more.

    I'm looking for some fantastic 2000's albums. It's an era I've really snuffed in favor of the past, and only recently had somewhat of an epiphany in realizing how little 2000's albums I have. Broad question, I realize, but so far, the best of what I've heard from the 2000's has been from Alternative. So, something in that vein, I guess.

    if you like the JA singles you've undoubtedly heard, then yes. if not, you probably won't like them.

    they're a 6/10 band for me.
