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 Tuesday, July 28 at 1:00PM Eastern Time.

I like Blood Money a lot, actually. Maybe the 9th or 10th best Waits album, but still.

Supreme Clientele is good, too, but I can't pretend I really care that much about it.

One of those albums I really remember the first time I listened to it (on Dauphin St., in Mobile, AL headed back to campaign HQ)

The rest of the albums are unremarkable bordering on sucktastic....of course this will lose.

Frank Black

The flaws in the grouping system are becoming obvious. I know that there's really no fair way to do it other than throwing all of the albums in the blender and pouring out groups five albums at a time, but some of these groups are VERY weak, while others are WAY too strong.
