The Top Pop Albums of the Decade 2000s

As the decade nears its end, one thing that will be missed is the music. Remember those albums we left on repeat because they really were worth listening to? From the catchy dance tracks to the political rock records that defined the 2000s, we saw artists like Justin Timberlake and Amy Winehouse grow up and deliver pinnacle records we never saw coming. When it came to the Top 40 set, this was a great time to love music. Here are our picks for the Top 10 Pop albums of the '00s:

10. Amy Winehouse -- 'Back to Black'
9. Green Day -- 'American Idiot'
8. Outkast -- 'Stankonia'
7. Beyonce -- 'B-Day'
6. Gwen Stefani -- 'Love. Angel. Music. Baby.'
5. Scissor Sisters -- 'Scissor Sisters'
4. Kelly Clarkson -- 'Breakaway'
3. Gorillaz -- 'Demon Days'
2. Kanye West -- 'The College Dropout'
1. Justin Timberlake -- 'FutureSex/LoveSounds'

'Justified' showed us that the former boy-bander could make it on his own. But it was 'FutureSex/LoveSounds' that put him on the map as one of the great talents of his generation with hits like 'SexyBack' and 'What Goes Around.'
