Daughter- If You Leave
Maybeshewill- Fair Youth
Polica- United Crushers
Charli XCX- N1A/Pop2
St. Vincent- Masseduction
Foxing- Nearer My God
Tycho- Weather

I wouldn't put these in any order. That 65dos album is in my top five of all time though. I think it is an absolute perfect record.

 

Lol they named the Tirzah album their AOTY like 6 months before it officially dropped. Theyre reckless

 

Off the top of my head in no order:

22,AM
Pop 2
Garden of Delete
Bark Your Head Off, Dog
Divers
The Idler Wheel...
Goodness
Modern Vampires
Sleep Well Beast
Does It Look Like I’m Here?
Kaputt
New Energy
ABIIOR

Will probably do a top 50 closer to the end of the year when I can consult my iTunes

 

I don't think I remember this haha but that's wild

 

Sufjan Stevens- Carrie and Lowell
Bon Iver- Bon Iver
The Gaslight Anthem- Handwritten
The Menzingers- After the Party
The Hotelier-Home like Noplace is There
Frank Ocean- Channel Orange
Now, Now- Threads
Julien Baker- Sprained Ankle
The 1975- A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships
Kendrick Lamar- good kid,m.A.A.d city

 

Maybe it was a mid year

 

I can say with certainty that both Julien Baker albums will be in my top 5, if not my top 3.

 

I listened through mine on my road trip this morning! Might add a second from a year and take one away once I order these, but here’s my (chronologically ordered) 1 per year:

Two Door Cinema Club - Tourist History
MuteMath - Odd Soul
Anberlin - Vital
Local Natives - Hummingbird
Bombay Bicycle Club - So Long, See You Tomorrow
Purity Ring - another eternity
Glass Animals - How To Be A Human Being
Manchester Orchestra - A Black Mile to the Surface
Novo Amor - Birthplace
Penny and Sparrow - Finch

 

I've only just listened to Southeastern for the first few times recently. Cover Me Up floored me, fantastic song. I was not surprised at all to discover it was probably his most popular song. Travelling Alone and Elephant are the other two standouts thus far.

 

off the top of my head and no order except 1 and 2

how dare you bump this thread with three months left in the year

 

I will quit the site if an album comes out in 3 months that makes my top 10 of the past 10 years. It’d be embarrassing to put an album that new on the list. If anything, these lists should start dropping in 2021

 

I disagree bc 1000 gecs should be everyone’s album of the decade and that only came out a couple months ago

 

Pianos Become the Teeth-- Keep You
Perfect winter/early spring record and some of my favorite lyrics of all time.

Favorite Track: Late Lives

You Blew It!-- Keep Doing What You're Doing
Moved from FL to DE in 2014 for college, and this record was the soundtrack of me trudging to class in the winter while being completely unequipped for snow. One of a few bands that reminded me of home when I was missing it like hell.

Favorite Track: You & Me & Me

The National-- Trouble Will Find Me
Not the best National record (SWB and HV are better) but it's my favorite.

Favorite Track: Pink Rabbits

Joyce Manor-- Cody
Same as with the National. Not their best (NHA) but my favorite. Last You Heard of Me is my most listened to song of all time on Last.fm, for some reason.

Favorite Track: Last You Heard of Me

The 1975-- I like it when you sleep
"But ABIIOR showed such range, yada yada yada" Yeah, I agree. But ILIWYS takes the 1975 formula and nails it perfectly. Excited to see what they do in the future, but this record was the perfect amount of self-indulgent for them.

Favorite Track: If I Believe You

Foxing-- Nearer My God
Hello, recency bias. Grand Paradise is one of my favorite album openers of all time.

Favorite Track: Grand Paradise

The Menzingers-- On The Impossible Past
I was really tempted to put After the Party here, but OTIP holds a really special place in my heart. I moved about 20 min outside of Philadelphia a few years back and always wanted to blast this record, windows down, driving over the Ben Franklin. Helps that I met someone extremely important to me who loves this band and record as much as I do.

Favorite Track: Gates

The Wonder Years-- No Closer to Heaven
Excuse me for this very spicy take, but this is TWY's best record. Unfairly maligned due to muddy mix/production, but some of their best songs are on this record and all these songs absolutely kick live.

Favorite Track: Thanks for the Ride

Phoebe Bridgers-- Strangers in the Alps
If I were to make a top 10 songs of the decade, Scott Street would be up there. I can't believe this is someone's debut record. If you haven't listened to Killer + The Sound with Noah Gunderson, do yourself the favor.

Favorite Track: Scott Street

Bon Iver-- I,I
Probably the recency bias talking again but I can't even imagine how much talent (or acid?) it takes to write a run as good as holyfields> hey, ma> U(Man Like)>Naeem>Jelmore>Faith.

Favorite Track: Faith

Honorable Mentions:
The National-- Sleep Well Beast & High Violet
Fireworks-- Gospel
Joyce Manor-- Never Hungover Again
Julien Baker-- Sprained Ankle
The 1975-- The 1975
Bleachers-- Gone Now
Turnover-- Peripheral Vision
The Hotelier-- Home Like Noplace is There
Microwave-- Much Love
The Menzingers-- After the Party

 

Listening to this album for the first time right now and it is WILD

 

#gecshive

 

I need to give that gecs album another try because it was so much not what I was expecting that I couldn't finish the first song

 

I greatly disliked that record tbh

 

already changed my list around a bunch since yesterday and couldn’t keep it to ten so here y’all go. i expect to rearrange this 100000 more times before the end of the year

 

You’re the only other person I know of who loves that black heart album. It’s in my list too

 

dawn hive

 

I'm hoping that my current top 10 stays the way it is but with a new Jimmy Eat World Album out in October things could get shaken up.

 

Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Young Thug - Jeffery (and probably So Much Fun too)
Vein - Errorzone
Kendrick Lamar - Section 80
Deafheaven - New Bermuda
Future - DS2
Deftones - Diamond Eyes
Power Trip - Nightmare Logic

I know I'm overlooking A TON, but this was what came to mind quickly
