Albums of the Aughts

Thursday morning I haphazardly chose to post my favorite albums of the decade on Twitter. For the purposes of finally breaking in this four year old blog site, I decided to aggregate the albums here. I'll expound a little as the week goes on.

This is a list of favorites. By no means does this represent a list of what I think the best albums of the decade are. Though I listen to my fair share of music, I don't listen to enough to actually have any meaningful insight on what 'best' means.

2000 - The Juliana Theory, "Emotion Is Dead" http://tinyurl.com/yfg464s

2000 - Three 6 Mafia Presents Hypnotize Camp Posse http://tinyurl.com/yg25e4w

2001 - Beanie Sigel, "The Reason" http://tinyurl.com/yjnl45y

2001 - Jimmy Eat World, "Bleed American". My favorite of the decade, hands down. http://tinyurl.com/yffzedu
