The Best Albums Of The Decade... So Far Where does the time go? We can’t believe this decade is approximately 87.5% finished already. I mean, we still haven’t even been able to agree on a name for it. What do you call it? The Thousands? The Zeroes? The Oh’s? The Oughts? The Naughts? The Naughties? Whatever you call it, by the end of next year, you won’t be able to swing a dead cat without hitting a “best of the decade” list. Let’s face it: nobody is going to confuse the 00’s with the ‘70s, ‘80s, or ‘90s when it comes to the tunes. But one or two bona fide rock superstars emerge from even a slow year. And, besides, every circus has to have a tallest midget. So at 92.3 K-Rock, we’re asking you to help us beat the rush, with the “First ‘Best of This Decade’ List.” What were the albums that have stood out so far, the handful that stand up to some of the best in history, the albums we’ll be listening to long after we flip the calendar to 2010. The Top Ten Albums of this decade … so far … as voted by the K-Rock listeners at 923krock.com, Labor Day 2008.
