The Long List: My 200 Favorite Albums
In case you were wondering what some of the albums were in that audio slideshow, or you just want to see what albums and artists mattered most to me in the past decade, here is THE LONG LIST! These are 200 of my favorite albums of the decade, years 2000-2009.
I feel like I should explain some of these, but there are stories behind all of them! It would take me days — I mean entire days, to do that. So a part of me doesn’t want to even try. I will definitely be writing essays about some of the choices in the top 50. I may even break this list of 200 into genres or styles, or put them all on a time line based on when they were released. I’d much rather provide some context and analysis than just spurt out the trite little blurbs that populate so many music publications today.
Evidently you can expect an outpouring of posts in the next couple months. Aside from the individual album essays, there should be discussions of my favorite concerts of the decade, notable EPs, music formats (as in vinyl and MP3), MP3 players, P2P networking, music festivals, and more.
Then once that’s all done, I still have to talk about the great things that happened in music in 2009!!! Stick around!
