best of the decade

Jack has completed his compilation of best albums of the decade. There were one hundred and thirteen best albums from the time he turned twenty until the time he turned thirty. Think about that.

They are not in any order.

(Well, they're alphabetical by album title, which was basically the worst order to type them in, but that's how itunes was set up when I started typing. sorry. now there's no easy way to tell just how many Mountain Goats albums are on the list (a lot).)

Need something more digestible? Later I'll post just the top ten. If he decides.
