2004 to 2000 (five of my fave albums per year)

I did a poll series of 2024 to 2005 with three sections in most of those that included eight from the top PA chart, eight from the PA Album of the Year events, eight personal favourites and an "other" to be used if none are appreciated (or are hardly appreciated) in the poll. I'm sort of continuing down the years from that, but only choosing personal favourites. And while I would have loved to list more for each year, I decided to limit it to five per year so that I can more easily cover a wide range of years over shorter time (I am not very patient). We have a maximum of 25 poll spaces available, and so five by five works well.

Multiple votes enabled: Please vote for up to five of these -- or more if you want; I'm just giving people some structure -- and mention those in a post and those don't have to be one per year, but five of the 25 regardless of year.

I'm fine with people mentioning their favourites from the year without knowing and liking any of the options, but please let me know if you only mention others your status when it comes to knowing and liking ones in the poll. That context helps me to "get" better where people are coming from, and that under standing means lot to me and I am a detail-oriented person. Also, I will let people know that I do love sentences (should be name for this psychological condition) so sharing at least a few words to go along with your choice or choices is really appreciated. It gives me something more to connect with if anyone gets where I'm coming from. It makes it feel more interactive and personal. But people should do what they are comfortable with.
