My Top Ten (or more) of The Decade
Where possible, I try to give credit where it's due
Until around the winter of 2002 I was mainly into pop-emo and pop-punk. Here are my best albums from 2000-2004 in these categories:
More Betterness-No Use For a Name
Punk in Drublic-NOFX
Pinkerton-Weezer
Through Being Cool-Saves the Day
Around 2002-2005 a combination of O'Brien's yearbook office, a chance song on the radio, some time at the Manor, and a ride to a Dodger game w/ Jesse got me going on my next four:
"O"-Damien Rice (KMOB)
Self-titled- Nickel Creek (KZLA)
American IV-Johnny Cash (Sycz)
Creek Drank the Cradle- Iron and Wine (Gloyd)
Ocean Avenue- Yellow Card (old habits die hard)
What got me through Peae Corps 2005-2007:
Chutes Too Narrow-the Shins
Parsely, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme- S & G
Grace-Jeff Buckley
2007-Present:
Self-titled-Grand Archives
Mountain Preacher's Child-Ralph Stanley
Still Crooked-Crooked Still (possibly the dumbest album name ever)
Self-titled-Old and in the Way
Plans-Deathcab for Cutie
Self-titled-Fleet Foxes
Picaresque-Decemberists
