You love the early 2000s albums eh? Well, nice choices, my most favorites albums not ranked really high, but nice. I'm glad not to see here Arcade Fire.

love the #1, you also have a few wonderful albums that are very often overlooked ( like Hope for the Hopeless), which I respect.

I find your list slightly scizophrenic but that intrigues me
I am an old git lost in the seventies but your list which includes many albums i like will maybe help me become more 'hip man'
