Best albums of the 2000s - Rolling Stone vs The People redux

In July 2012 I started publishing a series of stories comparing Rolling Stone magazine's list of the best 500 albums of all time with the top 500 albums on Rate Your Music (RYM). RYM is my favourite music discovery tool. It is a dedicated, crows sourced rating site.

I just discovered Rolling Stone's list of the best albums of the 2000s. I thought it would be interesting to repeat the analysis for this recent decade.
