It's the end of the decade. This is great news for those of us who love to make lists because we not only get year end best of lists, but also best of decade lists.
BSD and I undertook the project some time ago to come up with a list of the best (i.e. our favorite) albums of the 2000s. This list is as I see it today. I can't guarantee that if I had made a top 5 of 2000 in 2000 that it would have included the albums listed below. But it does now.
The albums are in year order. At the bottom, however, is a ranked top 5. Please feel free to leave your lists in the comments.

"would NOT have included"
your list looks even better as a blog entry!
"Boys and Girls in America" by The Hold Steady didn't make your 2006 selections? That is shocking.
