This list includes only 7.5+, meaning only albums that can be mentioned as great are included. I consider the 2000s to be the years 2000-2009 in the tradition of the '60s being 1960-1969, etc. I am currently working through the choices of critic Piero Scaruffi and fans of his (or apparent fans) on Rate Your Music and Listology. I have listened to the years 2000 through 2003 as fully as I have the motivation to at this moment and am currently working on 2004.
