The Goat’s Favorite Albums Of The Decade

There's much hype about the end of this decade and many are making lists about the "Best Of's" for that fact. I am not much good under peer pressure. So, here's my best of collection. It was tough and I probably missed several critically acclaimed albums but these are the ones that ended up on my iTunes. Upon review, I winnowed it down to these 60, which would be as many as I can fit in my CD case thingie.
