No Angel
Dido
Frequently compared to Sarah McLachlan and Sinead O'Connor, Dido stakes claim to her own turf in the girl-pop genre. Whatever the similarities, Dido's impressive debut album from 1999 launched her career.

Essence
Lucinda Williams
Country star Lucinda Williams followed up her 1998 release Car Wheels on a Gravel Road with this 2001 release. As one reviewer notes, this is "an incredibly affecting vocal performance by a woman who was not blessed with exceptional tone, range, or pitch."

All That You Can't Leave Behind
U2
Although U2 was favored to win the Album of the Year Grammy in 2000, the band lost out to the surprising soundtrack O Brother Where You Bound. But don't lament -- Bono and the boys won Grammies for Record of the Year for the song "Walk On" and for four other categories including Best Rock Album.
