Top 100 Music Albums of the 2000s by craab

My "best of" is really more accurately described as my "favorite." I do not claim to have heard every good album that should be considered for this chart and I also realize that the music I have heard and enjoyed has been influenced by my cultural location. The chart will change as I listen to more music.

Johnny Cash was already a legend but the American project brought him to a new level. Thanks Rick Rubin. American I and II were already a huge accomplishment but American III and IV gave were recorded after Cash's health began to decline and so they were something else entirely. They helped the world see the beauty of someone elderly and mortal. American III and IV are a testimony to Cash but also to human dignity. Bowie's Dark Star and Leonard Cohen's You Want it Darker are spiritual descendants to American III and IV. [First added to this chart: 11/24/2021]

The first half of this album is so strong that it makes up for the second half which is inconsistent. With this record Adams established himself as a key songwriter of his generation. He is McCartneyish in the sense that he needs an editor. He tends to prioritize quantity over quality. Still, this is his best record in terms of its peaks - basically side one.

Belle and Sebastian take a little bit more of a straightforward pop turn on this record but it works really well and does not at all feel phony. They are truly one of the greatest bands of the 90s and 00s. [First added to this chart: 11/24/2021]

Soulful pop from the master of her own genre. This album has all the great Annie sounds with really deep themes of grief and loss and seeking transcendent meaning. A sign of a great album is that you want to hear it again and again. That's this album. After one listen, I couldn't wait for the next! [First added to this chart: 02/28/2023]

My second favorite Lucinda album, the first being Car Wheels. I don't find all her albums accessible. This one is. It's got a bit more edge that Car Wheels, a harder sound and harder themes, but it's still easy on the ears. [First added to this chart: 11/24/2021]
