My Personal Top 10 Albums of the Decade

So, I have been thinking a lot lately about the end of the 00 decade.  Most of my high school years and all my undergrad years were in this decade, so it was quite formative, and I am very appreciative of it!

To show my love, I am going to start making some lists, summing up things I loved dearly in the 00s. Today we have . . . . . .  

My Personal Top 10 Albums of the 00s!!!!

Disclaimer: These are the albums that I listened to most and were released in the 00s. 

 I am not saying they are critically the best, if that were the case, 

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot would be on here for Potts.  

These are simply the albums I could never get enough of!

10. The Postal Service - Give Up

In my heart, anything Ben Gibbard touches is gold!!!!!

9. Ra Ra Riot - The Rhumb Line

This album would definitely be higher on the list, 

but it did not come out till near the end of the decade, 

so I had much less time to listen to it!!!!!  

8.  Copeland -In Motion

    

I first heard of Copeland when I saw 

them at HYAMP in Huntington. 

I spent most of 2006 listening to this CD.

One of the most beautiful songs I will ever know

is "You Have My Attention"

7. Anberlin - Cities

Any and all Anberlin CDs could easily be on this list. 

 I can count on all of their albums all the time.

Consistently good.  

6. mewithoutYou - Brother, Sister

I thought I did not like mwY until Jess Poole made me

listen to this CD.  How wrong I was!

One of the best shows I have ever seen!

5. Spill Canvas - One Fell Swoop

As Jess Poole and I discussed the other day, 

both Spill Canvas and Ra Ra Riot are AMAZING bands

that we had never heard of until they opened for 

a band we loved!  Isn't it wonderful to receive a

surprise like that?

4. Death Cab for Cutie - Plans

Again, this is really just my representation for all 

Death Cab albums.  They are definitely in my top 

3 favorite bands!! Dying to see them live again!

3. White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan

As much as I love White Blood Cells, what sets

 Get Behind Me Satan apart for me is the 

insane diversity in the songs.

Almost every song on the album has

a completely different feel to it 

than the one before it, and yet

I love them all!!!!  

Jack is genius!

2. Michael Jackson - Number Ones

I mean, is there any need for words??  

RIP MJ, I was never a fan that 

abandoned you, and your music

will never abandon me when 

I need to dance!!!!!

And . . . . . My Top Album of the 00s is . . . . . . . 

1. Mae - The Everglow!!!!!!!!!

I will NEVER, EVER forget the way I felt the first

time I put this CD in my car stereo and heard "We're So Far Away."

This album is a story, and no part of it disappoints.  

I am listening to it right now, and it feels like 

reuniting with a long lost friend. 

Some Honorable Mentions are:

Brand New - The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me

Taking Back Sunday - Louder Now

White Stripes - White Blood Cells

Death Cab for Cutie - Narrow Stairs

So . . . 

What are SOME of your Favorites?????
