Remember the 2000s? Wi-Fi, Paris Hilton, the Cheney administration?
Well if you loved the 2000s as much as Rock & Roll Ghost did then sound off in our comments section proclaiming the albums you thought were the best in this hilarious decade.
Rock & Roll Ghost will be counting down his list of the best (i.e. his favorite) albums of the 2000s later on this year, but let’s start talking about it now!
Let your friends know via Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, message boards or whatever preferred method of social interaction you choose (like face to face – but that’s so 1990s!).
Best album of the 00's, now there's a novel concept. My favorite album in the past 10 years is Patty Griffin's "Children Running Through". It's a tour de force, the best record yet by the greatest vocalist and songwriter of recent years.

Solomon Burke – Don't Give Up On Me
Beck – Sea Change
Buddy & Julie Miller – Written in Chalk
Sam Phillips – A Boot and A Shoe
Patty Griffin – 1,000 Kisses
Reindeer Section – Son of Evil Reindeer
Tim O'Brien and Darrell Scott – Real Time
Ray Davies – Working Man's Cafe
