Default Top 20 favorite Albums of the decade

I'm sure these "top #" threads will get old soon, but I feel the need to recognize my favorite albums that were put out from 2000-2009, and I'd love to know what you were digging too. So let's hear it!

The Dear Hunter - "Act III: Life and Death"(2009)
Nine Days - "The Madding Crowd"(2000)
Lovedrug - "Pretend You're Alive" (2004)
Blink 182 - "Take Off Your Pants and Jacket" (2001)
Matchbook Romance - "Voices" (2006)
Manchester Orchestra - "Mean Everything to Nothing" (2009)
Lit - "Atomic" (2001)

Damn this is tough. I listen to a new album almost every single day. I know these got a lot of play:

2000 - Enya - A Day Without Rain
2002 - Tsunami Bomb - The Ultimate Escape
2003 - Louis XIV - Louis XIV
2003 - Outkast - Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
2003 - The Postal Service - Give Up
2003 - Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever to Tell
2004 - Horrorpops - Hell Yeah!
2004 - Joanna Newsom - The Milk-Eyed Mender
2004 - mc chris - Eating's Not Cheating
2004 - Stars - Set Yourself On Fire
2005 - Polysics - Now is the Time
2005 - Blackalicious - The Craft
2005 - DJ Format - If You Can't Join 'Em Beat 'Em
2005 - Gym Class Heroes - The Papercut Chronicles
2005 - System Of A Down - Mezmerize
2005 - Why? - Elephant Eyelash
2006 - Doping Panda - Dandyism
2007 - Melt Banana - Bambi's Dilemma
2008 - Crystal Castles - Crystal Castles
2008 - Man Man - Rabbit Habits

Not too many recent ones. Feels like I'd be putting them on just because fresher in head. And rather than have half of them be Polysics, restricted list to one album per band.

These lists are too hard

But I'd definitely put 1-2 Porcupine Tree albums and the Radiohead album In Rainbows on the list

I'm starting to be ashamed for missing out on some of these albums. I never even got around to listening to Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga all the way through.

Holy shit, the decade? I may have to get back with you....I think narrowing it down to 2009 would have been easier.

On that note....

The Young Republic – Balletesque is just a fucking amazing album. It's nothing mind blowing or overly original, but it is mature and composed.

I've also been listening to one of Kid Koala's projects.....The Slew - 100%. Really really really good stuff; just make sure you crank the bass when you listen to it.

This album is so fucking exceptional...I love it. Manchester Orchestra reminds me of a less fluffy, edgier Fountains of Wayne.
