31 Favorite Albums of the Decade 2000-2009

A friend of mine came up with his list of the top 11 albums of the past decade, which inspired me to do this. I've never been much for creating 'best of' lists, but it was an interesting exercise to review what I've been into for the past ten years. No way could I limit my favorites to just 10 or so albums, though. So I made it 31, in keeping with the spirit of my friend's odd-numbered list. So here they are, in chronological order:

Album Title Artiste Year

Lost Souls Doves 2000

Nice! This would take a lot of thought - did you think back to each year or just those that have stood the test of time?

Oh, I just sorted my iTunes Library by Year and picked out all my faves from 2000 through 2009, then pared that down to the list you see here.

Wah? An actual blog post? I'm shocked....

31 favorite albums of the last decade? I can't even remember what I had for lunch yesterday.

I could probably put together a top 10 favorite albums of all time. Narrowing it down to the last 10 years would be tough.

It's all a blur....
