Laura’s Top 20 Albums of the Decade

It’s weird to think that the 00’s (aughts? naughts?) are already almost over. Soon it will be the tens, and we’ll be dressing like Gibson girls all over again. But for the next few weeks, and probably for the first few months of the new year, there will be a lot of “Best of the Decade” lists to pore through. This is one of them.
