Top SG Albums Of The Decade

Today, Daniel Mount lists his top choices from Southern Gospel CDs released during the current aughts decade. ("Aughts" sounds so 20th century. Does "Os" sound better?) Anywho, Daniel has challenged others to come up with their own lists. Sounds like fun.

Here's my thought process in putting a list like this together:
I give serious consideration to the unique "standout" qualities of each CD first. Next, I try to give equal, objective weight to vocals (including performance, arrangements, and complexity), songwriting, and production quality. Of course, there's some personal preference involved in the final decision as well.

To match Daniel's format as closely as possible, I'll list my Top 10 and then make a few honorable mentions.
I'm sure I'll refer to my Vault page of past reviews more than a few times before completing this list.
