scribbles top 100 albums of the decade (2000 - 2009)

scribble has the capacity to be a little nostalgic about music. as we come to the end of a decade, and there clearly aren't any earth-shattering releases in the pipeline for this this year, and thus decade, he said it was a safe bet to publish this now... while he has me motivated.

you will note that i was lazy and didn't get all of the descriptions and album artwork. what can i say? it's what you get when you have an unpaid employee. scribble is lucky i do this much.

also, what goes for the 2009 post goes for this post as well. scribble invites any and all disputes as to missed albums and album order. however, what you say will not matter, as scribble is never wrong.

scribble is pleased. all hail our supreme babysitter!
