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, August 5 at 1:00PM Eastern Time.

Man, fuck y'all. Chavez Ravine is an incredibly engaging listen.

I have to be kind of in the mood for it but when I am, it hits me in the head and the gut. Feels like I'm almost listening to a great documentary.

No contest here.

I nominated that Bobby Conn record, simply because I wanted everyone to give it a listen. It's a concept album about the Iraq War, mostly told from GWB's perspective via Conn's persona. It's reminscint of mid-80s Prince. A lot of heavy metal guitar over soul. I'm happy to upload tonight if it might sway anyone's opinion.

I'd probably like the Ry Cooder record if I heard it.

Voted. Guess I just posted and didn't vote.

But yeah, to me, it's an amazing achievement. As an overall concept it works as a great, and true, story but musically it's top notch as well.

Chavez Ravine.... my Dad to the day he died resented the Dodgers for destroying that historic neighborhood and the music on this disc totally captures my hometowns .. Boyle Heights, Lincoln Heights, Highland Park, Frogtown, Chavez Ravine in the 1950s. If you hear this and don't love this you need to stop pretending you love music.
