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, August 4 at 1:00PM Eastern Time.

LIARS.

Fantastic Damage is great, too. That S-K album sucks. I kinda forgot about the Fiona Apple one, but I used to like it OK.

Still need to hear that Mum, I guess, but what little I've heard of theirs hasn't been that great.

Liars, since it is the only one I've listened to all the way through and personally own.

S-K; I didn't like this album much at first but it got better over time.

If you're voting for backpacker hip-hop, 'elp yourself.

please, blanket statements like this annoy me. I assume you've listened to the album and just not liked it. All "backpacker" hip-hop does not sound the same and most of it doesn't sound like fantastic damage. That album is flat out awesome to my ears, and I've seen some of the stuff you've reccomended...so, help yourself...

i was mildly intrigued by his production, but can't really get into his style of rapping.
