I'll most likely give it a shot, but it might be a few weeks....maybe months out. The only thing I know for sure is I'm just going to roll with what I personally enjoyed and loved the past decade. Sometimes it's tempting to slide something up a little higher or include certain albums because you're "supposed" to (i.e. It was on everybody's Top 5 List!!), but naw, some of the decade defining albums did nothing for me when they first came out and that didn't change as the years went by.

I loved this past decade musically, too. Some folks seem to struggle to find 2 or 3 albums a year that they really enjoy, but even with a top 50 there's going to be some crucial omissions for me.
