Chorus.fm’s Top 50 Albums of the 2010s • Page 2

Interesting to see The Lack Long After as the Pianos record of choice on this list

 

Don't you get lost in nostalgia?

 

I think mwY, Kendrick, and maybe TWY should be higher but that’s small potatoes rly because it’s a great list. AL is a great #1

 

It might have gotten a vote or two, but no, not close.

All I can tell you is that I don’t think it got any votes.

 

I thought it probably was haha

 

I finally got to write about Floral Green, lol

Big thanks to everyone who contributed to thiseasily the best list I've seen.

 

What.a.list! Thrilled to be a part of the great writing team here. Thanks everyone for reading it!

 

surprised by the lack of now, now

 

I mean we are whittling down from hundreds of thousands of releases to 50 from the past 10 years some albums aren't gonna make it haha

 

great list. Very glad to see Hellogoodbye on there.

Staff list was actually pretty unexpected in a lot of ways, it’s a dang good list.

 

Where in the world is WORRY. though?

 

it's on my top 50 list

 

Biggest surprises for me, in terms of what's not here, are probably Integrity Blues, Celebration Rock, and Golden Hour.

 

Great point

 

so mad that this list isn't identical to my personal list

 

A really good list. No one is ever going to be completely happy about a list like this, but most of my nitpicks are relatively small, such as:

- The selection of Andrew McMahon's Upside Down Flowers over the S/T (don't get that at all).
- Title Fight, Pianos Become the Teeth, Touche Amore, and PUP all sliding in the 29-40 range feels like a little too much of the same to me. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy all of those artists, but I don't know how I feel about all four making the cut... (if it were up to me, I'd take one out and throw in an Explosions in the Sky or Moving Mountains album to compliment TWIABP)
- Chris Stapleton? That's a... choice.
- I would have liked to have seen a little more pop in the second half of the list, maybe something like LDR, Sigrid or Now Now... this decade was such a boon of great pop music, I feel like the genre should have had a little more presence on the list.

But most of that are personal preferences, so again I tip my cap to the Chorus.fm team

 

What does this mean?

 

those specific albums by title fight pianos touché and pup don't sound the same at all in any universe

 

here are some that really moved me this last decade. not saying they should be replacements on the list, but just providing a list in case someone wants to take a further dive. if you pick any of them, choose darlingside. they are magical.

william fitzsimmons - gold in the shadow
the war on drugs - a deeper understanding
darlingside - extralife
kurt vile - wakin on a pretty daze
john mayer - the search for everything
lord huron - strange trails
mutemath - vitals
mxpx - mxpx
the swellers - good for me
good riddance - peace in our time
lagwagon - hang
useless id - state is burning

 

Surprised I Like It When You Sleep lost out to A Brief Inquiry

 

Expected another particular Pianos album so that was a surprise. Solid list and a good representation of the ap.net ===> chorus.fm shift when you think about it.

 

A lot of cracking albums on this list!

 

It didnt?

It's a solid list, a lot of albums I love on there, feels like a good representation of this site really. Pretty happy to see Wildlife on there so high.
