Albums First Released in 2002

Singer-songwriters and jazz-pop broke through in 2002, while alternative rock, indie and UK garage told different versions of contemporary life. Major releases from 2002 include Come Away with Me by Norah Jones, Songs for the Deaf by Queens of the Stone Age, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco and Original Pirate Material by The Streets.

Norah Jones found a large audience with quiet arrangements, Queens of the Stone Age made a hard-rock road album, Wilco turned studio tension into texture and the Streets documented British city life in everyday language.

Our Pick of the Year: Come Away with Me by Norah Jones

Come Away with Me found a large audience through quiet arrangements and Norah Jones's understated voice. Don't Know Why, Feelin' the Same Way and the title track draw from jazz, country and pop without forcing a genre label. The album's success showed that restraint could compete with the louder production of the early 2000s.
