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.

Burial

I like Grizzly Bear, but that album is too new for me.

Dead Meadow, I like that Burial album a good bit, but Dead Meadow sent me looking back for My Bloody Valentine, Sleep, Cocteau Twins, just generally taught me guitars aren't neccesarily bad.

Seriously, I hate all 5 of you who have voted Burial so far.

Most overrated piece of dreck to come down the pipe in ages and I have listened to it at least 5 times, much to my fucking chagrin.

Didn't much care for this group overall.

Yeah, put Tyranny of Distance here and Hearts of Oak there and the right album moves along easily.
