Oops, left out this one:

(Various) Motel Lovers: Southern Soul From The Chitlin Circuit(Trikont)

Reissues/Archival stuff is impossible; would require a whole 'nother thread (not that I'm suggesting one, or would promise to post on one if one existed.)

Also just remembered that I might actually prefer Ashlee's second album to her first, and/or (less likely) Fannypack's first album to their second; should maybe go back and relisten sometime this year to make sure.

Artist of the Decade: I'd probably go with Toby Keith, since that's who I'd almost always rather listen to, even if something in my conscience says Timbaland or Eminem might deserve it more.

Band of the Decade: Montgomery Gentry.

Lil Wayne, Trick Daddy, and White Stripes might well rank among my 10 favorite artists of the decade, for sheer consistency, but I don't think any of them has made a single album I'd rank among my 40 or so favorites. (I might rank Kid Rock higher, actually, even though his most significant album of the decade came out in 1998. Though by contrast, my favorite Timabaland album -- Welcome To Our World with Magoo -- came out in 1997. Come to think of it, maybe most his best stuff came out too early for the '00s.)

PS) Livejournal just forget my password again, by the way. I give up.

These aren't nominations, just statements of what you like, so you should list the ones that others have already mentioned, just so that we'll know which ones you like.

Well, in that case, I'd say that these albums that Frank listed should also be counted among my '00s favorites (and most of them, I like more than most of the ones on my long list posted earlier):

Ashlee Simpson Autobiography
Eminem The Marshall Mathers LP
Montgomery Gentry Carrying On
Big & Rich Horse Of A Different Color
The Ying Yang Twins Me And My Brother
Global Hits 2002
Aly & AJ Insomniatic
Fannypack See You Next Tuesday
Taylor Swift Taylor Swift
M.I.A./Diplo Piracy Funds Terrorism
Ashlee Simpson I Am Me
Miranda Lambert Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

Also I replayed the first two Ashlee albums today, and was surprised to find how much I prefered her debut record. Second Fannypack album was sounding better than I'd remembered, too.
