The Top 100 Albums of the 00's: 80-61

The rules are pretty simple: these are my favorite albums from the last 10 years. Not the best albums, or the most critically acclaimed, but my favorite. Also, there are no reissues or compilations. There is one live album.

I'll list 20 albums a day until we're done on Friday.

Without further ado, THE DEFINITIVE, MOST SUPER AMAZING LIST OF THE DECADE'S GREATEST ALBUMS (in my eyes).
