As I've mentioned on here before, I will often write something down with the intention of posting it on here or somewhere else, but then I forget to. The item will then sit somewhere for long periods of time before anything happens to it. One of these things was when I put together a list of what I considered the top 20 albums of the first decade of this century. I meant to post it shortly after New Years Day 2010, but forgot and now it's February 2011. It is good that I waited because I replaced two albums with ones I did not hear all of until after 2010 began. So, because I have nowhere else to post it that makes sense (and it does not really make much sense ofr here either since I am no music blogger), I am going to list it here so the whole world can see what this amateur critic has to think.

No Cake? AND you included Coldplay?
At least you didn't try to include Nickelback.
I like Cake, but I'm not very familiar with their albums. Besides, if Rush was only number 20, Cake wasn't going to make the list.
