Top Albums of the Decade
   Every once and awhile an album comes along that really makes its mark on the music industry. Many albums have broken new ground with their inventiveness and originality.  Others have sparked entirely new genres or breathed life back into older ones.  Over the past several years, there have been a number of albums that have made an impact on the world of music.  In the past seven years, we've witnessed the emergence of artists ranging from Nirvana to the Spice Girls -- each with its own style and signifigance.  Here, in no particular order, Verbosity presents our list of some of the works of this decade that we consider the most influential to the current face of music.  Enjoy!
