Just so you know, I don't think this is the Clipse album that dropped that year ;)
Ahh silly me! Thanks for the heads up chrb98! Hell Hath No Fury is a top 10 album of the decade for me, I love that album so much!!! It’s the only album by Clips that I would ever type when I do my ‘best of’ lists, so that’s why I did that silly mistake 🙈
 
(1) Norah Jones - Come Away with Me
(2) Johnny Cash - American IV: The Man Comes Around
(3) And you will know us by the trail of dead - source tags and codes
(4) The Streets - Original Pirate Heroes
(5) Dixie Chicks - Home
(6) Neko Case - Blacklisted
(7) Beck - Sea Change
(8) Minus the Bear - Highly Refined Pirates
(9) Maroon 5 - Songs About Jane
(10) Killswitch Engage - Alive or Just Breathing

Hon. Mentions: mountain goats, sigur ros, libertines, Godspeed you black emperor, chevelle
 
None of these albums are in my top 20 albums of the 2000’s decade! One of the weakest years of that decade for sure! I feel like 2000 was such a good year and 2001 was another year where the goods kept coming, but 2002 couldn’t keep up! Still got some great albums of course, but every year has great albums.

1. The Streets - Original Pirate Material
2. Norah Jones - Come Away With Me
3. The Roots - Phrenology
4. Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People
5. Tweet - Southern Hummingbird
6. EL-P - Fantastic Damage
7. Clipse - Lord Willin’
8. Justin Timberlake - Justified
9. Rdj2 - Deadringer
10. Raphael Saadiq - Instant Vintage
It’s funny you say that! A solid chunk of my list for that year is on my favorites of all time! I feel like I could have done solid top 10 lists for each genre!
 
1. Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
2. Sleater-Kinney - One Beat
3. Broken Social Scene - You Forgot it in People
4. Ted Leo / Pharmacists - Hearts Of Oak
