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.

Raphael Saadiq makes me feel good and gets my vote, even if it's the only one it gets.

Its a shame Willie Nile isn't going to make it out of this group; a personal favorite of mine.

Especially when considering the competition.

Her best album and one of the few artists for whom my favorite record came out after I became a big fan.

However, I believe it's from 1999.

Not voting in this one since I haven't heard three of these and don't feel strongly enough about the Lanegan album to assume it's better than those three. It is better than that PJ.

There's a lot of great albums that weren't nominated, but we had to make room for the irredeemable crap.
