Top 100 Music Albums of the 2000s by Purplepash

I missed most of this decade album wise due to busy life and limited exposure to new music, and relied on purchased CDs and radioplay singles. So this chart is a mixture of the albums I did catch on to at the time and have loved for years, and the albums that are impressing me now as I explore this missing decade in my music history, and so will be a constantly changing ongoing project.

@Randolph, thanks for the comment. Good call on QOTSA, ...Like Clockwork is one of my faves...been meaning to listen to more having seen them live and loving their singles. I'll get on that soon.

Nice chart. I forgot how awesome that Grinderman album was! But where's the Queens of the Stone Age? Kid A and Songs for the Deaf are easily my Top 2 of the decade.
