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.

Modest Mouse, although I believe Wilco takes it.

not so sure about that on this board lately.

the do get my vote here, though it's close because that is probably my favorite MM.

QotSA barely edged out Wilco. I won't be disappointed if either make it.

ted leo.

didn't want to vote wilco but it'll probably win anyways.

not a fan of modest mouse but i like a few songs off that one.

qotsa and streets albums are just average.

Voted TL. That QOTSA album got played a TON when it first came out, though. And I like YHF, but it's not my favorite Wilco.

How are YHF and Moon and Antartica in the same group in a qualifier?

Modest Mouse, and I'm surprised it isn't doing better.

I should probably hear that Ted Leo album, but I've just been really disinterested in him for a long time. I dunno, maybe now I'd like it.

Like the QOTSA and of course YHF. Hate The Streets.

Went with Queens, if only to man up this whole jaunt a little.

Rated R would have been a better choice though...

Three of my favorite 20 albums of the decade in one group (2 of my top 5).

Went with Wilco by a nose over MM and a length over T Leo.

Tall buildings shake. Voices escape singing sad sad songs. Tuned to chords strung down your cheeks. Bitter melodies turning your orbit around.
