My “Favorite/Best of 00’s” list
For what it’s worth, these are chosen based on (a) my opinions on what great songwriting/album conceiving is; (b) albums I listened to over and over, feel warm thinking about, and/or contain most of my favorite songs of the decade.
I did this in a sort of “poor man’s flickchart” method, and I’m sure I’ll be back in the near days/weeks to adjust it.
