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 Friday, July 31 at 1:00PM Eastern Time.

Didn't It Rain

Sucks that The National will probably take this.

I hate that Jens Lekman album.

I applaud Rapin Rod, he's the only one of twelve voters for The National to post.

Cast of Thousands is great but The Seldom Seen Kid is Elbow's crowning achievement.

The National is a cheap imitation of Spoon or i just can't understand them at all...

now that is just stupid. i listen to loads and loads of music and you know it. i just don't like the National (and this board loves them, so i like to jab them every once in awhile).

also i happen to love Elbow and have made that known over many, many years.
