Paste Magazine's 50 Best Albums of the 2000s

The decade recounting started with Pitchfork handing top honors to Kid A and Uncut lusting after Jack White. Now it's Paste's turn to list their favorite albums of the '00s and, as you might expect, they add some different names to the mix.

Hey, look, the Avett Brothers.
