So, is this 99-09? Seems a bit arbitrary.


Are there records from 1999 in there? I can't be bothered to check. I imagined it was 2000-2009, which would be 'the noughties' just as 1970-79 would be the seventies. Although I agree, it doesn't feel like the end of a decade; I've been aware of that for a while now, the first ten years of the 21st Century don't seem to have had the same sense of a consistent body of time... I dunno.

Anyway, needless to say I'd disagree with much of that list, but to be fair I suppose the point of these things is to provoke disagreement and discussion. And inevitably there are quite a few albums I do like on there. Everyone would agree on that. They just wouldn't agree on which ones.

Time to start brushing up those HH albums of the decade lists, then? (2000-2009, top ten only for the sake of brevity).
