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 Wednesday, July 29 at 1:00PM Eastern Time.

Whoa. Could be interesting. Will Spoon and WS split the vote allowing The Sensitive Silent Majority to advance The Decemberists?

Voted Boris but it's mostly a toss-up. I really don't like The Decemberists, and that's my least favorite Spoon album. The other 3 are good albums.

This is a tough division - best Stripes album, best Decembrists, top-2 Spoon record (or #1, depending on the day), and a great Boris disc - but I have to go with Anti Pop. Album still holds up really well, and I'm pretty sure that I'm the one that put them up for the shellacking they're about to receive...

Not the first two, other than that i'm not sure. I used to love that Decemberists album and then the subsequent albums ruined them for me. I really don't like Jack White but De Stilj is probably their best. I don't like that Spoon album as a whole but regularly play songs from it when i find it on a jokebox.

Spoon I guess.

Why ya gotta put one of my nominations against one of the only albums people actually seem to like in these early rounds. Spoon bores me. De Stijl is one of my favorite records. Oh well.
