Your Personal Top 10 of the 2010s • Page 15

chorus overthinking album rankings? impossible!

 

10. Vampire Weekend - Contra
9. The Front Bottoms - The Front Bottoms
8. Japandroids - Celebration Rock
7. Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool
6. Jeff Rosenstock - Worry
5. The Menzingers - On the Impossible Past
4. Hop Along - Painted Shut
3. Joyce Manor - Never Hungover Again
2. Titus Andronicus - The Monitor
1. Bomb the Music Industry - Vacation

I feel like I’m forgetting something so this may change. But the top 3 here are pretty solid.

 

I’m just gonna do my top 10 bands/artists with my favorite releases of this decade. Not sure if I could narrow down albums... There’s an element of consistency here and aren’t in any particular order either...

- The Dangerous Summer
- Angels & Airwaves (Tom bringing Ilan into the creative process saved the band for me)
- The Naked and Famous
- Northlane
- ERRA
- Charli XCX
- The 1975
- Blink-182 (2010’s releases pre-Skiba... current line-up has some good, interesting ideas but they rarely amount to anything interesting to me)
- Yellowcard
- Flume (that mixtape earlier this year was pure flames, front to back... had to include it)
- Bleachers (Jack’s a cool dude and writes great songs... guess that’s 11, had to throw him in there though)

Basically, legends only... lol

 

A Black Mile To The Surface - Manchester Orchestra
II - Bad Books
Church of The Good Thief - Right Away, Great Captain!
Nobody Likes A Quitter - All Get Out
Turn Out The Lights - Julien Baker
Cardinal - Pinegrove
Carrie & Lowell - Sufjan Stevens
Babel - Mumford & Sons (Sigh no more was 2009 ugh)
True Sadness - The Avett Brothers (I and Love and you was 2009 ugh)
Bon Iver - Bon Iver


Honorable Mentions:
American Soft - Chris Staples
Blanco - David Bazan
We Are Who We've Always Been - Kevin Devine
21 - Adele
x - Ed Sheeran
How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful - Florence + the machine
Tiny Changes - Frightened Rabbit Covers


Anything y'all would recommend based off my tastes?

 

favorite bands/artists list (alphabetically bc i’m a coward):
Arctic Monkeys
Bon Iver
Deafheaven
Father John Misty
Jason Isbell
Kendrick Lamar
Spoon
Sturgill Simpson
Tame Impala
The War on Drugs

 

@phaynes12 have you listened to The Last Shadow Puppets? Everything You've Come to Expect is definitely one of my favourites of the decade

 

yes. i don’t really like that album at all but the one they did in the 00s would be near the top of whatever list i’d have done for that decade

 

records i forgot in my initial list:

rihanna: anti
ariana grande: dangerous woman
sleigh bells: treats
chief keef: back from the dead 2
yves tumor: safe in the hands of love

 

What is it you like about Back From the Dead 2 vs the rest of Chief Keef's output?

 

bang 2 -> almighty so -> back from the dead 2 are all kind of a piece for me, but back from the dead 2 is a full tilt into warped self-production. scary, strange, mindbending music. keef’s (great, simple but clever as it rounds each couplet) rapping is practically the only thing tying it to the ground, which is odd bc under normal circumstances he is the one slipping around the beat. “faneto” also a highly influential rap song

 

Started another thread for discussing publication lists, which are starting to crop up. Pitchfork songs list today, albums list tomorrow.

i cant even imagine how im going to begin putting together this list lol

 

I've been staring at a 100 album word document for the past week

 

Yeah making these lists gives me so much anxiety when like 2 people will care lol

 

Was having a lot of trouble picking a proper top 10 songs list, so I did this instead. Share yours!

 

Still putting together an actual list but War Paint will certainly be at the top.
That record was there for basically every moment in my adult life. Graduating, going through college, heartbreak, becoming a dad. The list goes on.

I don’t think anything can beat that out for me

 

War Paint was definitely a life-changing album for me, at the time... I don’t think I would’ve made certain life-decisions back then, had I not heard that record...

 

ooh great idea. i’ll do mine when i get home.

 

This is very hard also off the top of my head

Dancing On My Own or Your Love Is My Drug
Someone Like You or We Found Love
Call Me Maybe
Royals
Blank Space
Run Away With Me
Love On The Brain
Perfect Places
God Is A Woman
Bad Guy

 

There were some years that were easy calls for me and some where I wanted to name 8-10 songs. Weird how that happens.

 

maybe that’s how I’ll do my album list lol

 

2010: Chad Perrone - Under Different Circumstances (Taylor Swift - Enchanted)
2011: La Dispute - You and I in Unison (Charlie Simpson - Riverbanks)
2012: The Early November - Call Off the Bells (My Chemical Romance - Boy Division)
2013: Captain, We're Sinking - A Bitter Divorce (The 1975 - Sex)
2014: Copeland - Erase (The Hotelier - Dendron)
2015: Carly Rae Jepsen - Run Away With Me (mewithoutYou - Rainbow Signs)
2016: Relient K - Empty House (Busted - Those Days Are Gone)
2017: Charli XCX - Backseat (Brockhampton - Boogie)
2018: The Night Game - Do You Think About Us? (The 1975 - Mine)
2019: Mannequin Pussy - In Love Again (Busted - It Happens)

 

That Chad song was definitely my next 2010 pick.

 

i posted this in the wrong thread yesterday lol
