    with the recent think pieces (Pitchfork's & UpRoxx's) on the top 200 albums of the 2010s as a decade being posted I thought it could be fun to have a thread to post everyone's favorite albums from this decade. feel free to make the list as long or short as you want.

    here's a spiffy tool you can use if you want, courtesy of Cay.

    Nov 27, 2019 Update: To make it a little more interesting, what are your favorite albums from each year? For quick reference, here's links to albums that came out in each year: 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019.
    E.g.:
    2010 - Loud, Rihanna
    2011 - Femme Fatale, Britney Spears
    2012 - Red, Taylor Swift
    2013 - Beyonce - Beyonce
    etc etc

    publishing a list of best albums of the decade before fka twigs blessed us with magdalene should be a crime

    2019 - theres albums i havent yet listened to that i want but probably fka twigs - magdalene lol

    this is way too hard lmao. i know for a fact that i might change my mind on a lot of these lol
     
    I honestly didn't listen to much modern music before 2014, as before then I didn't have access to streaming/online music and had to listen to my parents' classic rock from the 80s (which by the way, is great music, but a) it's not 2010s and b) gets old when you hear the same songs for the first 11 years of your life). But, I'll try my best!

    2010- Doo-Wops and Hooligans by Bruno Mars
    2011- 21 by Adele
    2012- Wrecking Ball by Bruce Springsteen
    2013- PRISM by Katy Perry
    2014- 1989 by Taylor Swift
    2015- 25 by Adele
    2016- The Getaway by Red Hot Chili Peppers (I see you, Sawsbuck!)
    2017- reputation by Taylor Swift (honorable mention to So Good by Zara Larsson, most years it would be #1 but reputation is my favorite album of all time)
    2018- Expectations by Bebe Rexha
    2019- Lover by Taylor Swift
     
    [PokeCommunity.com] favorite albums from each year of the 2010s?


    knowing me this will probably change by the 31st. its a lot harder going by year for me cos so many of my favorites were released in the same years, haha. my list is rly 2015 onwards heavy cos i didnt really develop the taste i currently have until then
