Maybe it's because I've seen a bunch of "Best of 00's" music lists that I don't agree with, or maybe it's because I've seen those lists at all, and it made me start thinking about it. But, I actually compiled a list of my 25 favorite 00's albums.
Seeing as how these are albums i like, I will write a small tidbit about each of them, detailing something about the music, or how it impacted me/how i related to it. I'm thinking it won't really feel like work, so I should get this done by 2010.
I'll do each of them in 5 album installments, so 5 installments after this.
But, here are the 2000's albums that missed the cut, but I would feel bad to not mention them. Thus, the honorable mentions (30 of them, if i counted correctly).
Honorable Mentions (in no particular order):
Seven Swans - Sufjan Stevens (2004)
Strawberry Jam - Animal Collective (2007)
You Forgot It In People - Broken Social Scene (2002)
