Blurbs and things of course not now. But this is a slight update on my 100+ (144) of the 2000-2009 10-year span decade. Aka the 2000's.
101-144 though is really just an honorable mention and truthfully could or should include at least 25 or even 50 more titles. Maybe a top 200? I'm just noting how there are many 4-star or 78-87 (out of 100) records, eps, mini-albums I didn't manage to include there. And some really that could belong in the top 100 as well.
Why I hate to make lists in a lot of ways.
But if I remember and have time, perhaps I'll bump this entry and add those and maybe even blurb about some of them. Or maybe for the sake of efficiency, try and write more of a summary and article, that includes noteworthy bits about many of them.
2000-2009 certainly was the most fruitful/fulfilling 10-year span for music for me and more or less anyone whose an avid music fan. So naturally, the lists and depth is longer than most other decades. Although looking at 10-year periods, who knows.
more to add...
144-101..vaguely, as I'm certain there's a few dozen other 4+-star 2000-2009 lps and eps not here
