Bigbobby10 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Well since the decade is closing, what are some of your highlight albums for this decade? For me there are many, but some perfect ones (that will even have their own threads) David Bowie - Blackstar (2016)Sufjan Stevens - Carrie and Lowell (2015) *Might be my favorite album of the decade, very excited to talk about this more*Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly (2015)Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition (2016)Flying Lotus - Cosmograma (2010) Many many more amazing albums, but these are my 10/10 of the decade 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Arcade Fire - SuburbsChris Cornell - Higher Truth Can’t think of many from younger and breakthrough acts. This decade sucked for mainstream music, rock or not. It’s either Radio Disney pop or boring minimalist indie circle jerking that critics love lately. Yawn.

Segue Myles Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I have to think about this...overall loved a lot this decade but nowhere near as much as I did the 2000s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Carmina Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Oh, my musical tastes are so fossilized! I should be embarrassed, I guess? Nah. Anyway, let's say Clockwork Angels and Clockwork Angels Tour Drive-by Truckers, American Band (2016) and The Big To-Do (2010 -- or is that the first decade?) Uh, after that? I'll get back to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Search the internet for stuff you like instead of relying on the mainstream to tell you what to like. There's a good chance you'll find more music to enjoy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 This is my top ten, I have no shame putting three albums by my favourite band on this list. Lacuna Coil carried me through this decade. 1. Nightwish- Endless Forms Most Beautiful (2015)2. Lacuna Coil- Broken Crown Halo (2014)3. Machine Head- Bloodstones And Diamonds (2014)4. Taylor Swift- Reputation (2017)5. Alter Bridge- ABIII (2010)6. Lacuna Coil- Delirium (2016)7. Epica- The Quantum Enigma (2014)8. Lacuna Coil- Black Anima (2019)9. Behemoth- The Satanist (2014)10.

Rutlefan Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) Sticking to one LP an artist: The Joy Formidable - The Big Roar (2011) ... Toss up with Wire's Change Becomes Us for "album of the decade" Grimes - Visions (2012) Wire - Change Becomes Us (2013) My Bloody Valentine - M B V (2013) Underground Lovers - Weekend (2013) The Church - Further/Deeper (2014) Robert Plant - Lullaby and the Ceaseless Roar (2014) Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell (2015) Fat White Family - Serfs Up!
