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.
