I'll offer the same list that started this year's tournament. All you need to do is pick your final 10 (from any bracket), not necessarily in any order but you should at least highlight who you think should be #1.
The idea is to simply present your choice of 10 greatest releases so far this decade from the list. (you might have other releases but it'll be interesting to see how close our random lists look like compared to the 'actual' results).
In 2 days, I'll close the thread and TALLY the results of each album listed and we'll see which albums got the most votes.
Got it? Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
