Our 2000 top 10s in & out of PA (share & comment

I did one for 1970 and 2010, and here's one for 2000. I imagine people's faves here would be generally much more limited for 2000 than 1970, but also some do favour more modern music than the more "classic" (or classic Prog era) stuff...

Please mention up to 10 (or more if desired) albums from 2000, and please try to comment on other's selections. One doesn't need to even make one's own list, some find that harder than others, and one can just comment on whatever choices one sees and likes from other people's lists. This is intended for any live or studio, LP or EP or boxset releases from 2000, Prog or not, in PA or not. The main idea behind this was to make a more interactive list making topic that is not limited to Prog where we not only list our favourites but look at other people choices and comment on what we like or finding interesting in those, with an emphasis on the positive.
