In the 2010s, the biggest artists were also some of the biggest innovators — from Kanye West creating his monumental over-the-top opusBeyoncé connecting her life story to a history of African American expression onto Chance the Rapper blowing up with a free mixtape that was full of psychedelic realism to Taylor Swift and Kacey Musgraves and Frank Ocean pushing the limits of the conservative genres they eventually broke out of entirely.
Country had its most adventurous decade ever, whether that spirit came through in the fire-spitting lyrical honesty of the Pistol Annies, the hardbitten literariness of Jason Isbell or an almost unclassifiable work like Sturgill Simpson’s soul-tinged song-cycle. After being left for dead in a chillwave puddle 10 years ago, indie-rock got back to its gloriously messy guitar roots, with bands like Parquet Courts, Japandroids and Car Seat Headrest making fantastic albums.
What was so fun about the 2010s was the way so many artists from across genres seemed to draw from the same well of wide-open possibility, of discovery happening in real time; this is reflected in the albums that made our best-of list.

How do you leave off Morning Phase by Beck? Also Fear Innoculm by Tool, Sound and Fury by Sturgill Simpson, Push the Sky Away and Skelton tree by Nick Cave?
Excuse me but you leave off Adele 25?! That album and Lemonade should be near the top.
blackstar! period
I don’t understand why Lana Del Rey’s masterpiece ‘Born To Die’ is always so underrated by critics. It’s not even in the list! An authentic indie-pop piece-of-art that paved the way to overrated artists like Lorde and Billie Eilish. One of the best albums of the decade for sure.
Taylor Swift & Cardi B! 😂😂😂
Taylor Swift top ten? What is the criteria?
This is kind of fairly good. Billie Eilish debut deserved to be in here too tho
A fairly decent list, but missing Angel Olsen ‘All Mirrors’ and Weyes Blood ‘Titanic Rising’
😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah right.
Puras cagadas pop

There are so many ads that I can’t even load the content 😒
Seriously, not including thesilverseas Chateau Revenge! on this list is criminal.
Garbage. Not the group... This list
Very few unfortunately!😢😢😢
Awaken My Love - Childish Gambino is better then all of these. So is RHCP- I’m With You and The Getaway, and Gregory Porter -Take Me To The Alley and Be Good
Always love these lists even though they make me realize how old I am when I go, who?
There are none.
There were like 5 good albums.
Muy en desacuerdo.
An ad after every single album as you scroll... 😄 smooth
No “Morning Phase” by beck ? Surely you jest...
I hereby declare this list invalid.
born to die should’ve been number 1 but i’ll let it slide
I went back and re-looked this. If these are the best albums of this decade, we either need 2020 or that FU-sized meteor to hit, like soon.
No PostMalone, no MumfordAndSons, no thelumineers, no AVABandOfficial, no samsmith, no Adele 25, way too much Kanye. Good going on billieeilish and thegreatkhalid (too low). Are you people even trying anymore?
Was there one?
perfect list
No ‘Born This Way’? Fuck right off.
Kanye West number 1 EpicFail
You have Kanye as number 1 you immediately go to jail do not pass go do not collect $200
If it has no rock n roll albums than it sucks!!! I mean real rock n roll, no Taylor Swift rock n roll... Taylor Swift is not rock n roll but that is the award she won on AMA. Not saying she isn't talented, she is, but not rock n roll. BringBackRockAndRoll 🤙
without BORN THIS WAY WTF
Where's The Life Of Pablo?
KaceyMusgraves 🤍
This one, too:
The site does not work well, I just wanna know if POP 2 by Charli XCX is on the list
I’m surprised that there were 100 albums
RS has questionable taste in music.
confused decade, it seems...
igooor_paiin atento pro top10
Mylo xyloto not even there wow
This is so awfull
1 is not Kanye it’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy we claim that, not his latest remarks
I had to check this article just to made sure they put To Pimp A Butterfly in the top 5. Shoulda been number 1 but I’ll settle for 3...
kanye 1?!? fuckrightoffjann
Bowie Blackstar and Lana Del Rey Ultraviolence for me.
I love a lot of albums here, but Kanye, Taylor Swift, and Frank Ocean testify to what a terrible decade of music this was. Worse than the’80s...
Well, here's ours:
Mark Knopfler’s “Privateering”. Some of his best songwriting. Superbly produced. It’s his masterpiece.
Not a single album from TheNational? Are you guys serious? High Violet, Trouble Will Find Me, Sleep Well Beast and I Am Easy To Find... Not a single one?
So happy dark twisted fantasy got number 1... what an incredible album that I felt was so underrated
Joanna Newsome - Divers 👍🏻 Didn’t click on the list out of fear for Spyware
Shocking list 🤭
jennylewis headandtheheart sef-titled
Top Ten's are better Clickbait. 100? Who cares?
Purple Mountains
Cadê o California Gurls da Katya? Max Martin corre aqui amore
1. Fear Inoculum 2. Southeastern by JasonIsbell 3. Eraserland by Strandofoaks 4. Damn 5. All the runjewels albums
I'm surprised Kurt Cobain wasn't number 6 somehow.
This should be titled 'Ten Years of Pure Trash'
moham15 all masterpieces (except for the top right hand corner, my glasses suddenly stopped working)
This is a nice change of pace from your war crimes denial thanks.

If you need any proof of the decline of pop music, and/or you want to feel super-old, read this list!
Arctic Monkeys, Arcade fire,Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar, Vampire Weekend,David Bowie, Alabama Shake 👏👏👏👏
Thank you next? Girl this album is so shit. You should put in Born This Way
Valiente porquería
Funny, I didn’t see toriamos on the list with Night of Hunters and Native Invader.
Red- Taylor Swift Golden Hour- Kacey Musgraves Days are Gone- Haim Coming home- Leon Bridges Cleopatra- The Lumineers
Um where’s Lady Gaga? Black Panther soundtrack? The Weekend? But I am glad to see Kendrick Lamar, D’Angelo, Solange, & Beyoncé on the list because they all made masterpieces.
stvn_bradley 'Summer Bliss and Autumn Tears'
Off the top of my head... Arcade Fire - The Suburbs Arctic Monkeys - AM Jack White - Lazaretto
The Age of Adz, unquestionably, and I am CONCERNED that your list does not include that OR Carrie & Lowell. How you gotta do Sufjan Stevens like that?
Lorde Melodrama
Madonna Rebel Heart
jennylewis The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You by NekoCase
David Bowie - Black Star and Avicii - Stories.
❤️ Red 💥 1989
Unless I missed it, where was “Lost in the Dream” by the War on Drugs? It’s Adam Granduciel’s magnum opus. Please do a little more research before putting this list out next time.
I'll take the Brandi Carlile album 'By the Way, I Forgive You' everytime. Beautiful songs and lyrics that really bring raw emotion. How that ranks in just the 80s is beyond me
Wish I could read it on my little mobile but ads keep popping up after every album and covering everything so I won't read it and won't see the ads I can't see because they make the page so slow 🙄🤔
Hahaha this list is a joke , right?
YUP YUP YUP
jennylewis 44/876
En verdad esta lista esta ALGARA. Ni que incluir albums by Sky Ferreira y ni uno de ladygaga . Bitch please
jennylewis 2/2 Lord Huron, Vide Noir Jason Isbell, Nashville Sound Ray Lamontagne, Ouroboros Arcade Fire, The Suburbs Wilco, The Whole Love The Yawpers, American Man Chris Stapleton, Traveller

These lists are so arbitrary, but still surprised not to see Childish Gambino. Awaken, my love.
1989 Red
Rob Zombie 'Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor'
LANA QUEEN OF ALTERNATIVE

Well, pick it up.
I have been waiting for this day for 10 years. Time for the disappointment to set in.
