CGR Battle of the 00's: OFFICIAL List Thread

All you who are helping CGR decide the best albums of the 00s, here is where you post your lists.

A few reminders and caveats:
-Your list can be up to 25. Lists of less than 25 will still be counted.
-In terms of scoring, your higher picks receive more points, so try to number your lists (or at least #1-4). For lists that are unnumbered, it will be assumed that the top entry is your #1 pick, and on down the line.
-Please only use this thread to post your lists. There will be a separate thread for discussion of the lists. I'm not trying to be a Nazi about this whole thing, but it's WAY easier to tally votes when you don't have to sift through a bunch of conversation. Conversation in this thread will be deleted and re-directed to the discussion thread.
-Please only post one list. If you wish to change your list, please either edit your original post or delete it entirely and post your new list.
-This thread will be open for two weeks (closing August 2).

I think that's about it! Go crazy.
