This is the first part (the group stage) in Obner's efforts to pick the best album released in the 2000s. In the group stage, there will be 64 groups of 5 albums. The top vote-getter in each group will advance to the 64-album tournament.

Please vote for the album that you feel deserves to be in the tournament. The deadline for this group is Monday, July 27 at 1:00PM Eastern Time.

The Greatest got pretty stale for me.

Guess I'll vote for Tom Waits even though that's not one of his better albums. "Alice" is, however, one of his best songs.

DBT pretty easily for me. I like Emotionalism, but it took a while to grow on me. And I still feel that it's too long and the songwriting isn't very strong.

That Avett's album is top three for the 2000's for me. That Cat Power is good but not great. What a fucking shame.

Cat Power has never done much for me, other than live... and I liked her a lot then.
