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 Thursday, July 30 at 1:00PM Eastern Time.

Yeah I finally got it a little bit back, and it gets some use.

I burned myself on TV on the Radio with that first ep, then I gained new respect for them after seeing them in L.A. a few years ago, but I'm going with the Decemberists.

I would take nothing over each and everyone of these. I would hum "Froggy Went A-Courtin'" to amuse myself.
