"It was a pretty tall task to pick our top 15 albums of all-time last year, but it may have been
slightly easier for me to pick my favorite from 2000 to 2009. For me, the 90's seemed to be a pretty strong
decade for music, which I realize may be because I was first really getting into music and Christian music
at this time. Still, music seemed more pure and unfiltered than it has in the digital age of ProTools and even... *shudder*...
auto-tune that we now live in. But for the past ten years, some truly great records and artists have emerged. Here
is a list, in somewhat of an order, that I've compiled after much thought. And of course, a few extra worth
attention are included as honorable mentions..."
