DIGFI:MIX - The 100 best albums of 2000-2004

This list is from a book I found at my local library. The book was released in 2005 as a 5 years-celebration of DIGFI as a webzine (www.digfi.com). The list is based on votes from 80 Swedes from music magazines, radio, blogs, fanzines, bands and record labels, including Jens Lekman (whose favourite record was The Avalanches' "Since I Left You") and Axel Willner from The Field (whose favourite record was Gas' "Pop").

The list has a certain indiepop feel, with lots of lesser-known Swedish artists mixed with some of the universally acclaimed albums.
