Albums of the Decade: 2000 - 2010

Okay, here's the list you've been waiting for. There are so many great albums to choose from in this past decade that I had a difficult time selecting certain ones. A couple of these races were very close and I'm still disappointed that I couldn't fit Starfield in here somewhere, but there was just too much good stuff.For the curious, I have broken these races down into eleven different categories of music classification. So, without further ado, here's a trip down memory lane:
