Looking over other people's lists, I see that most people had some Radiohead on there. I loved "Kid A" and "Amnesiac," but I guess I associate those albums (and Radiohead) more with the music I listened to in the 90s (couldn't ever really get into their other two releases from the 00s). I suppose that's why they slipped my mind.
I also left off an album from 2001 that was one of my favorites of the decade. Although it wasn't an album that changed the course of music, I really loved "Gravelled and Green" by the Actual Tigers. Fun and melodic in a "Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard" kind of way.
