I got a little sappy on you in my explanation of My Favorite Songs of the 2000s (Pt. 1) (Part 2 is here in case you missed it), but it was a deserved sappiness. I've enjoyed this decade, partly because I don't have much to compare it to. (My memories from the early to mid '90s are few and far between/nonexistant.) Anyhow, here is my list of my favorite albums of the decade. While I do tend to prefer older music for its originality and whatnot, this is the music that resonates most with me because these are albums I (sometimes) bought the day they came out made by artists that I read about and see live, etc. When I grow old and my kids are listening to Justin Bieber (after his mid-career renaissance), I'll be able to say, "this is what music was like when I was your age," and then put on Blueberry Boat and blow their minds. Enjoy.
