Liz's Best Albums of the Decade

If you couldn't already tell, I enjoy lists. Here (presented in no order other than alphabetical, because it was hard enough to choose 25, let alone rank them) are my top 25 albums of the aughts. I should note that this doesn't mean I think these were the best 25 albums of the past 10 years, musically or technically speaking (though some are), but a more personal list of albums that had special meaning to me during specific times in my life over the past decade. Don't judge.
