David Bowie - Blackstar
Deftones - Gore
Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP 2
Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
Kids See Ghosts
Run the Jewels - 2
Tyler, the Creator - IGOR | childatheart
06.11.22 | I'm surprised I managed to come up with 32 albums. I guess the 2010s must be my favourite decade for music, because even my 2000s list didn't get to 20 picks.
Then again, the 2010s is the decade I grew up in. I remember when Last Friday Night and Gangnam Style were massive, in 2011 and 2012 respectively. The former is still one of my favourite songs.
I also grew up with all sorts of music playing, since every member of my family has a different taste. I guess that explains why I like such a broad range of music. | JKing92
06.11.22 | Neat story. The 2010s was the decade where I became a legal adult, and I definitely remember a lot of the stuff that was huge. I distinctly recall hearing "Gangnam Style" a lot when I went back to college for my second year, and I heard "Last Friday Night" quite a lot the summer after high school. Both very nostalgic songs for me, and while at the time I was getting my kicks elsewhere (Kanye, early Kendrick, etc), they definitely bring back memories of when I was a young man trying to navigate his path in the world (along with other huge songs of that era -- "Somebody That I Used to Know," "Rolling in the Deep," etc).
And my family definitely had very different, distinctive tastes, too. As a small child in the '90s who grew up in the 2000s, I remember my father having more classic tastes, while my mom was more aware of what was out there. My father had bands he liked at that time that were contemporary (Black Crowes, Dave Matthews Band, Counting Crows, Blues Traveler, Hootie and the Blowfish, etc), but they were definitely extensions of his classic rock tastes from when he was an early to mid-'70s teen, and some of these tastes carried over into what those '70s favorites were doing in the present (like Eric Clapton's Unplugged album, a favorite of his at the time). Meanwhile, my mom was really into solo female singer-songwriters (particularly after she saw Lilith Fair in 1997), Jewel and Sheryl Crow being two particular favorites (she also owned The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which I remember being played at dinner parties at our house a lot when I was in kindergarten and first grade). My brother was more into pop music that was on the radio when he and I were growing up. I got into music in the late '90s, with the first CD my parents ever purchased me being Smash Mouth's Astro Lounge for my seventh birthday in September 1999 (which they bought me because I really loved "All Star" that past summer). In 2000, in second grade, I learned that my friend had a CD burner, and he ripped albums like The Marshall Mathers LP and Stankonia for me, both of which I played a ton throughout 2001. The first CD I ever bought myself was Green Day's American Idiot right before Christmas 2004, after seeing the video for the title track on Fuse, and it led me to pick up the album with my allowance while we were out holiday shopping one weekend. An absolutely life-changing listen, I had never heard anything like it before.
Sorry for the ramble, but I guess you could call this the story of how my love of pop music began. ๐ | zakalwe
06.12.22 | 2010s definitely better than the 2000s.
2016 was a great year. | JKing92
06.12.22 | 2016 is definitely my favorite music year of the 2010s. Blackstar, Gore, We Got It from Here, Run the Jewels 3, Lemonade... damn good year. | childatheart
