100 Greatest Albums Of The Decade (100-51)

I've done it. I've made a list. Call me obsessive, call me insane, but I compiled a list. I've sat in my apartment arguing with myself on whether or not the likes of Taylor Swift and Justin Timberlake belong on this list (verdict: yes). I've sat in boring meetings at work thinking "do I really like Portishead's Third more than Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots? I've called each of the top five albums on this list my favorite album of the decade and then I've listened to each of them consecutively to compare. This is what I came up with. It isn't perfect, but I want to put it down before I change my mind.

I am going to breeze through the first 50 without explanation, but I'll write a little on each one as I get closer to the top.
