SDM’s Favorite Albums of the Decade: 40-31

Here are SDM’s 40-31 entries for our favorite albums of the decade. I have to admit that putting a list like this together is pretty tough. I find myself stressing out a bit more than a person should regarding some of my placement decisions. I’ll be pretty relieved when the entire thing is rolled out and I can start working on my, much less stressful, “Best albums of the year” list.
Hope you enjoy…
