My Favorite Albums of 2000

My last album anniversary piece for 2020 follows the same path that I did for 1970, '80, '90, and 2000.  An A-Z ranking of my favorite albums of the year.  No Greatest Hits albums listed.  I'm sure I've missed some good ones that were released.  But this is a good representation of that year.
