Top 100 Albums of the 2000s

Who made the top 20 for 2000-2009? Read 'em and weep (or cheer, as the case may be).

Agree or disagree, Kelly's piece makes for fascinating reading for anyone interested in exploring what the still-emerging new music business paradigm means for artists in the trenches.
