Since we are nearing the end of the decade (woot 2 months to go!) it's time to discuss and reveal your top 10 (or 20 if you're keen) albums of the decade that is, between 2000 and the end of 2009.

 

Although hard to compare to the 90's, this decade has been very fruitful for new music. It has seen the emergence of electro-pop, Indie new-wave and Hip-hop as extremely popular genres.

 

So, time to start thinking......what are your top albums of the decade? What musically defined the decade? Let's see it out in style.
