Best albums of 2000
Guitar bands began treating computers as instruments rather than as tools for fixing things. The South took the charts outright. A forward-facing year that did not sound like one at the time, and that most end-of-year lists got badly wrong.
According to Riffiter listeners, the best album of 2000 is Stankonia by OutKast, rated 4.3/5 by 116 listeners.
