Though this is not a finalized list for me, I have been at work tackling 2000 for almost a good month. My list would probably be this
Luigii's temporary 2010 list
1 Sufjan Stevens-The Age Of Adz
2 Bholoja-Swasi Soul
3 Oneothrix Point Never-Returnal
4 The Fun Years-God Was Like, No
5 Bibi Tanga & The Selenites-Dunya
Honorable mentions
Emeralds-Does It Look Like I'm Here?
Kylie Minouge-Aphrodite
Toro Y Moi-Causers Of This
Erykah Badu-New Amerykah Pt2
Chuck Persons-Ecco Jams Vol 1
Note, this could have been dramatically different if I wasn't going through 2000. But what I got from late last year was a pretty good chunk of change to throw for the listen.

1. If there are no albums left to pick that you love and want others to hear, post in this thread to forfeit all remaining picks. You can and should forfeit all your picks before we begin if you do not intend to participate in the bonus draft.
2. Try to pick as soon as possible. That said, users have up to 24 hours after the previous pick to make a choice. After 24 hours, you will automatically forfeit all remaining picks and it will become the next user's turn.
3. If you have bonus draft picks, please try to check this thread regularly. And please don't confuse people by making a pick out of order!
Also, in case it wasn't crystal clear already, you can only pick albums that haven't been nominated yet.
After 24 hours, you will automatically forfeit all remaining picks and it will become the next user's turn.
Open to reconsidering the "all remaining picks" part of that if someone re-engages before their next pick. But at least the pick people are on the clock for needs to disappear after 24 hours so this doesn't go on forever. _________________ Join us in the canon game :) / Add me on RYM

Here's a thought. If someone doesn't make their pick within the deadline, maybe you could just take the highest ranked 2010 album not yet picked (Brothers by The Black Keys in this case). Or, if the user has a 2010 chart, you could take their highest ranked unpicked album from that (on Komorebi-D's chart, that would be The Wild Hunt by The Tallest Man On Earth).
And, to speed things along, you could even have anyone with remaining bonus picks say whether they're okay with going down their 2010 chart like that so we don't have to wait for them to notice when it's their turn. I would be okay with that for my picks.
In any case, the 24 hours are up for Komorebi-D, so I nominate:

That's not a bad idea, but I'd rather err on the side of there being fewer albums in the pool that we all have to listen to. Participation has already exceeded all expectations, which is awesome, but it also means we have to allot more time for making it through the nominations.
So after a long day of work, I got to choose two albums.
For my own purposes,
When people say what the best Pop records for 2010, they would mention Robyn or Janelle Monae. And though I still need to listen to the former and love the latter, this is an album I just love so much. Like damn, this palette of this album is so good.
Now for importance for the year and the decade,
One of the pioneers of Vaporwave. And that could get a good discussion going.
If these picks were in the first list, let me know.
If not, that is the end of my participation till the next step.
Alright Komorebi-D, it's your turn now.
