2000-09 albums
in no particular order, my 50 identity albums of the 00's (with a hat tip to flickr.com/joshc).
tried desperately to keep it to one album per artist, with two exceptions (radiohead, the national) where i couldn't make a decision. weighted towards the middle-end of the decade because i wasn't listening much to current music in the early part and 2008/9 is still being written in my heart and ears, etc.
