12.27.18 | Favorite years are 2011 and 2013 with 10 and 7 picks respectively. Weakest year is 2012, only 3 picks there. |
Ryus
12.27.18 | some real klassiks on here |
Atari
12.27.18 | nice! glad to see The Hotelier and Fiona Apple especially but also a ton I haven't heard on here. anything in particular you think I'd love from this list?
|
DoofDoof
12.27.18 | It begins!
Strange list for me as it contains about ten of my absolute faves of the decade...and ten of my least favourites too |
luci
12.27.18 | @atari:
majical cloudz's impersonator - a piercingly intimate work by devon welsh's former duo. they reached an inimitable connection between artist and audience here
japandroids/bomb the music industry/cloud nothings - a trifecta of poppy indie rock. gives that adrenaline + euphoria fix
pospulenn - warm, lo-fi ambient folk. entrancing as fuck |
luci
12.27.18 | @doof: my love of dance-pop nearly matches your hate for it~ |
DoofDoof
12.27.18 | 29 is an interesting one...the more time passes the more I believe that it's THE rock album of the decade |
luci
12.27.18 | @atari (cont):
braids' native speaker - colorful psych-pop that builds immersive worlds to live + love in. amazing vocalist too
geotic's abysma - the best "3.5 album" of all-time! so simple and evocative and restorative. helps find the bliss in domestic life
|
budgie
12.27.18 | try memoryhouse - soft hate (2016)
definitely lesser known
pretty straight forward dream pop album |
luci
12.27.18 | @plane:
blue hawaii: blue gowns is their best song forever. rest is great but haven't found the classic here
yellow swans: didn't get it when i heard it years ago. it should be here by all accounts. will revisit
cut copy: haven't heard, the reception dissuaded me back in the day. snatching this
anohni: had it on the list but was a close cut. top 100 for sure, will decide how it ranks when the decade's done. grows more relevant + vital each year |
Yotimi
12.27.18 | Good stuff my man
And I actually agree on 29 Doof |
Relinquished
12.27.18 | 11 and 12 are definitely gonna be on mine |
Ryus
12.27.18 | 1 is really, really tremendous...maybe her masterpiece
good to see 17, 33, 39, and 40 on here
4 looks fascinating |
Yotimi
12.27.18 | I love that u love 37 too |
luci
12.27.18 | was gonna say, you're one of the few who reps it on this site. i need to convert the others, it's the most i've enjoyed being stressed by music |
calmrose
12.27.18 | love that Public Strain is here, probably my #1 for the decade |
Atari
12.27.18 | sweet, I’ll check those recs out! |
DoofDoof
12.27.18 | Nice Yot, glad someone else is thinking along the same lines.
I've already got a rough draft/playlist of my top 100 rock songs of the decade and Cloud Nothings feature heavily |
Chortles
12.27.18 | the overlap is real! you've got what is probably 4 of my top 5 of the decade listed here. it'll be nice to revisit dear favorites over the next year, maybe i'll remember how to listen to non-electronic genres again too ;-) |
luci
12.27.18 | lol right? what's the missing album from your top 5. got you to thank for 17 friend |
Dewinged
12.27.18 | Looking good man, I also started drafting a massive jam list trying to cover a lot of this decade. Will be busy for 2 years lol. |
Zeneren
12.28.18 | Damn I need to listen to that Zenker brothers album. Lol nice to see 31, album totally slams |
klap
12.28.18 | good stuff, honestly keep thinking public strain came out last decade |
oltnabrick
12.28.18 | 33 is sick |
Relinquished
12.28.18 | yea peeped the zenker, good shit |
Chortles
12.28.18 | probably andy stott - we stay together (or passed me by on some days tbh)
i need to listen to 4 also |
luci
12.28.18 | glad y'all are checking immersion. drum programming on that one is incredible. nails a dark techno sound i'm constantly searching for
andy stott has a stellar discog but i'm waiting for a release to rise above the rest. too many voices comes closest for me |
Relinquished
12.28.18 | obv u gotta get to the other ilian tapes tunes
the schyren is killer |
theBoneyKing
12.29.18 | Some good picks here, a lot I don’t know though. Any necessary albums here/otherwise that I should check before the end of next year? |
Gyromania
12.29.18 | great list. those first 3 spots for 2010 are basically immovable imo. |
theBoneyKing
12.29.18 | Also agreed about 2013, that’s definitely my favorite year |
luci
12.29.18 | Check the Japandroids, Majical Cloudz and Antlers releases. I'd also get to the Hecker and Cloud Nothings records above, many would agree that's their best work of the 2010s. |
Gyromania
12.29.18 | time to re-dl idler wheel |
luci
12.29.18 | I didn't double up on artists. If I did the most significant change would be including Divers, was my 2015 aoty (although Emotion eventually surpassed it). |
TwigTW
12.29.18 | Nice to see Patrick Cowley on the list (I forgot about that comp), and Huerco S. I'm surprised how much staying power Emotion had with me. That would definitely make my list too... a lot of nice choices here. |
luci
12.29.18 | Thx Twig, yeah I'd confidently call Emotion the best pop album of the 2010s. The pressure to follow it up has been getting to her, almost four years and no album. |
TwigTW
12.29.18 | Yeah, now that you say it, I think you might be right. Archandroid, Lighght and Overgrown, are up there for me too, but they're all genre hybrids. Emotion is pure pop. She'll have a hard time following it up--if she ever does, lol. |
tectactoe
12.11.19 | Somehow I missed this list when it was first posted. Love it, some thoughts:
• I have yet to hear a single Joanna Newsom album because she's not on Spotify and I could never be arsed to download them on my own. Maybe it's time I change that finally???
• 8 should be on everyone's Decade list, lovely that it's in the Top 10!
• I'd take ATROCITY EXHIBITION over XXX but can't hate on that pick at all.
• Never knew you loved SUNBATHER so much, awesome. (And I will take this as my signature opportunity to recommend you this year's AEVUM by Vukari. Similar-ish vibes, a bit harder and... "black"-er.)
• Another galaxy brainer putting TWFM > HV. Hell yes. (Mostly being hyperbolic, they're both amazing but TWFM is legitimately perfect.)
• 25 - as I said on Johnny's list, probably my favorite emo album since AMERICAN FOOTBALL (1999)
• 30 - CRJ squad rise up! |
luci
12.11.19 | this isn't a ranked list! chronological order. sunbather is my album of the decade and dream house song of the decade... I fanboyed hard over deafheaven in 2013 - 2015, don't listen to them as much anymore but I've never sunk as deep into an album |
tectactoe
12.11.19 | That's what I get for never reading the list descriptions.
Awesome though - SUNBATHER is such a great album. |
luci
12.11.19 | re: newsom, it's disheartening that you spotify folks aren't listening to her! i have trouble recommending her as catch-up, have one on me is 2 hours and took me a year and a half to fully "get". divers is more immediate so I'd go with that as an introduction |
