Album of the Decade? (2010-2019)


Recommended Posts

Since we are on the downhill of 2019, me and my buddy were having a conversation of best albums of the decade. I thought I would ask you guys to get some opinions. 

 

Some of the ones we came up with last night. These are in no particular order.

 

Frank Ocean - Blonde

Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid Maad City

Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of the City

Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell

Kacey Musgraves - Golden Hour

Bon Iver - 22 a million

Carly Rae Jepsen - Emotion

Kanye West - MBDTF

 

What would make your guy's lists?

Liars - Mess (2014)

Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest (2010)

Mutant Beat Dance - Mutant Beat Dance (2018)

Suuns - Images du futur (2013)

Kurt Vile - Wakin on a Pretty Daze (2013)

 

Most solid year goes to 2014.

When I think of "album of the decade" I think of what could potentially fit into my top 10 all time which definitely should mostly be from before 2010 unless you're a teenager. With that being said I can comfortably decide on A Moon Shaped Pool and The Monitor. Maybe something else will grow to that point over time but that's it right now.

I was iffy on their album list after seeing their singles list. It’s not awful. I think they were a bit more aggressive with recent album placement than I would be, but it’s fine. 

 

 

Its gonna be tough to argue why a 10.0 album is a place lower than a 9.4 record. Either blonde is a 10.0 (it should be) or MBDTF isn’t (it is).
