Best albums of the decade?

[Elliot Kane]

What do you think are the best albums released in the Noughties?

You can define 'best' in any way you want. I know I will ;D

I'll get to mine in due course.

Great albums released in the Noughties I can think of straight away:










No, I'm not kidding.

Imposing my own personal list conditions for myself: each artist is allowed only one album. No collections or 'best ofs' count. The album must be truly exceptional, IMO.

That way I stand a chance of producing a somewhat short list ;D

The list in in no particular order, as they are all exceptional albums.
