25 Best Albums of the Decade (2000-2009): 25-11

I enjoyed the Best of 2009 lists so much that I decided to dig into my albums from the 2000s to decide which ones meant the most to me (this is the last planned list for a while).  With so many great albums released during this time, it was not easy to hand out spots and many just missed the list.  Also, there are MANY bands included in this list that released more than 1 great album in the Aughts, but I wanted to keep it to 1 per artist/band for diversity's sake.  Below are 25-11 of my favorite albums of the decade.  The top 10 will follow shortly.  Enjoy the list.
