As the decade draws to a close...

...I have come across the first "Best Music of the 2000s" list as chosen by the music editors at National Public Radio. It's their "50 Most Important Recordings of the Decade," and it's a great conversation starter. You can read the blog entry and see the complete list.

No time now for any in-depth comments, but I like the inclusion of classical composer John Adams' elegy for the victims of 9/11, "On the Transmigration of Souls" and Sufjan Stevens' brilliant disk "Illinois." Check out the list and see if your favorite recording made it!
