Nice choices on a lot of these! I like the inclusion of a couple of Kanye, Kendrick, Frank Ocean, Flying Lotus, and Tame Impala albums. Those are some of the best artists putting out music nowadays and its nice to see them getting some recognition. Some weird/obscure choices too tho ( Hyperdub10.1???) Nonetheless a pretty solid and unique list
