Top 60 Music Albums of the 2010s by Lacobra Unknown

« View previous chartView next chart »
I don't think this decade will be looked back with much fondness 30 years from now, but there's still some great music (more than there was in the 80s, perhaps) that seems to be optimistically trying to define a future full of ideas.

(Extended Plays are featured only if they are mostly comprised of material that can't be found in any other studio release.)

excellent taste! as a side note, how good is m b v compared to loveless and other shoegaze classics? Its one of the few albums I can't find on spotify and have been contemplating getting the vinyl without listening to it first, which I never do
