This is hard. Every selection involves deciding whether a few great albums is better than several good ones.
I'll take a different approach. Using my computer program, I'll take the average of the top 6 albums for each year and weight them 2 2 2 1 1 1.
It should be noted that the depth of my musical collection blows up considerably when you hit 2005, so the latter half of the decade has an advantage. (But of course, the later it is, the less time it's had to sink into my brain, so maybe it's a wash).
2000 and 2007 are in my opinion two of the best years of all time. They're so heavy with incredible albums (and songs) that the other years barely come close. Keep in mind I like each year of the last decade, but the last 3 on the list were pretty mediocre.
