Someone was telling someone else....

That, at this point in the decade, they weren't sure they could come up with a top 10 albums (CDs, whatever) of the 2000s.
Thinking about it a little, I thought I could easily come up with ten albums that I loved and have continued to love through the years. And I did.

These aren't in any particular order, I don't think... maybe subliminally...

Rufus Wainwright, Want One (2003)

Death Cab For Cutie, Transatlanticism (2003)

Arcade Fire, Neon Bible (2007)

Jill Scott, Who is Jill Scott? Words and Music, Vol.1 (2001)

Shelby Lynne, I Am Shelby Lynne (2000)

Pete Yorn, musicforthemorningafter (2001)

Keane, Under The Iron Sea (2006)

Aimee Mann, The Forgotten Arm (2005)

Kelly Clarkson, Breakaway (2004)

Muse, Black Holes and Revelations (2007)


Honorable Mentions... A Perfect Circle, Mer De Noms (2000)
Ben Folds, Speed Graphic (EP) (2003)
Guillemots, From The Cliffs (EP) (2006)
Pernice Brothers, Live a Little (2006)
Editors, The Back Room (2006)
Coldplay, Parachutes (2000) and A Rush Of Blood To the Head (2002)
Beth Orton, Daybreaker (2002)
Morcheeba, Charango (2002)
Arcade Fire, Funeral (2004)
U2, All That You Can't Leave Behind (2000)

What's everyone else got? What egregious omission have I made?
