OK, what’ve you got, jungleland2?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I’ll admit it. I read Rolling Stone<\/em>…often. Kinda like how I watch Saturday Night Live<\/em> – in hopes that it will once again be what it was back in the day (or how it was in my mind at least).<\/p>\n

I took a look at their Top 100<\/em> records of the decade (January 1, 2000-December 15, 2009) and I have to say, I had a very diferent decade musically. I’m sure we all have.<\/p>\n

Following is my Top 30<\/em> for this decade. No Best of<\/em> records, no live records, no box sets, no lost albums, no reissues.

\nI expect plenty of disagreement from my fellow Townspeople (and specific disagreement with specific Townspeople).<\/p>\n
