Top 100 Albums of the Decade 2000-09
After months of work, it's finally finished! I'm feeling rather accomplished - this is certainly the biggest one of these music lists I've ever done, and I think it's my best work yet. I'd love to hear what people thought of it - the albums that made it, the albums that didn't, the quality of my writing, the video clips, etc.
I only managed to get up to #36 on this journal before switching to the new blog, but rather than posting the last 35 entries here in their entirety, I'll just gives you guys a link to the blog...
