Top 30 Albums of the Decade 2000-2009: Number 19


Number 19

Justin Timberlake
"Justified"

Released: November 4th 2002
Key Tracks: "Like I Love You" / "Cry Me a River" / "Rock Your Body"

What a way to break away from the boyband mould. Justin Timberlake had spent the previous six years of his life in *NSYNC, a putrid manufactured five headed shit. "Like I Love You" hit airwaves in August of 2002 and Timberlake immediately bacame a star.

Funky, fresh, catchy, this album had it all. From the Britney baiting "Cry Me a River" to the dancefloor smash "Rock Your Body" to the Latino influenced "Senorita", it was difficult to find something that you didn't like.

"Justified" is without a doub the best "pop" album of the last decade, in fact nothing even comes close. A brilliant, diverse album, from a very diverse man.
