The year 2000 again includes outstanding albums from terrific artists. This list has a lot of singer-songwriters with melancholic songs and to even up the balance there are a few really sunny and happy albums. As we move closer to 1990's I'm surprised how old some of the music that I'm constantly listening to is. I guess it's true what some people say, that one's taste in music is largely defined in the age when people are becoming adults. At least for me the most important albums are from late 90's and early 2000's. So once again, enjoy the list of outstanding music.
