Favorite Albums of the Decade so Far

The five people that actually read this blog may notice my absence in the past couple months. That is because I have gotten knee deep in music. Music has always stood 2nd fiddle to my love of movies. There has been times where it occasionally takes over for my film obsession. This is such a time. So instead of leaving a blog languishing in a cobwebbed corner of cyberspace, I thought I would mention my favorite albums of the decade so far.
