I've spoken my (generally unimportant, essentially shouting in an empty room) peace abut the Best of 2009 tomfoolery . . .now for Best of Decade.

Daft Punk - Discovery

Came out in 2001.  Has lost NONE of its listenability (shut up).  I'm not saying it's the best album of the decade, although it could be argued...what I AM saying is that for it to be appearing in the late 20's and 30's on lists is ab-so-lute-ly BONKERS.  Why do lists make me crazy?  I don't know.  Should they?  Nope.  Am I playing right into mass media's hands by being aggravated?  You betcha!

But tell me I'm wrong and give me 10 albums that were better, had a bigger impact, and have maintained "listenability" like Discovery.  It can't be done.
