Didn't know the rules state studio albums only, nor live or compilations. I have broken these unwritten rules myself. I hold my head in shame.

^ The Camel album was recorded between 1973 and 1975

It's music from that particular year, what musicians have created then (in this case 2000).  There I said it.  That's a good point, but if I removed all of the live albums and compilations from my list, that would only leave me with just six albums.  six albums which is fine, you come back and write some more when you remember other albums.

@Cristi: I think the no live albums rule is one you just made up!? For sure I have listed live albums, if only those recorded in that year (or the year before but released as live album of recent music - also studio albums released in year x may have been recorded in year x-1). I see how one can mock Paul's list, however it is quite typical for these threads that lists are filled with some other stuff if PA-listed (!) studio albums don't get somebody to 10, sometimes even if they do. I also think I have seen others posting compilations (though not me). Ultimately there's no winner, and this means everybody can play by their own rules, even if I agree that it is more fun if rules are at least to some extent aligned.

I thought we have to think of studio albums, created that particular year. It makes sense to me.  A live album? OK ,fine if it was played and released in that particular year.   But a compilation makes no sense.

^ All my year lists include what was released that year regardless of recording date but that's not fair is it? The Gnosis site goes by the date the album was recorded not the year it was released which would be more accurate for what was going on that particular year.

Seeing as the 2009 thread is up now, I'm going to speed run the whole 2000s.
