I feel the same way about the new Heilung album, but I’ll wait to expound on that until the thread for the 2010s

Except for LDR and Girls (who had already broken up) I'd seen all of these artist's live multiple times in this decade

Of my concerts in the decade, there was a really high nostalgia rock quotient, but feel I kept up a little with the youth of today
I like Lana del ray’s one that came after born
Meta critic has Ghosteen as #1

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/qvg5j3/the-100-best-albums-of-the-2010s

have to say…I sometimes feel I'm intouch with the music scene
I think I've only listened to less than 5% of this list and close to 2/3rds I'd never even heard of

Its a weird decade for music
I'm curious how we'll look back in 20 years
These are the ones I still listen to, for whatever reason:

1) Algiers - The other side of Power
2) Hope - Kingdom
3) EMA - Past Life Martyred Saints
4) Nick Cave - Push the Sky Away
5) Kurt Vile - Smoke Ring for My Halo
6) Torres - Sprinter
7) Lorde - Pure Heroine
8 ) Arctic Monkeys - AM
9) Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
10) Sharon Van Etten - Tramp

Here's one I forgot (noticed didn't make any of the lists)
Alt-J - An Awesome Wave
I might need to add Thievery’s Saudade!


I think it’s their best album!!

Focuses on the style I like…none of that Reggae Boyz bull
