Love is not a fantasy, a haiku written in Japanese, a word to often use but not believe. We'd miss the interaction of the flood, the sea, the sky, the dove. Time, the rose, the shore, but not our love. Say you'll go to Nirvana. [First added to this chart: 11/06/2013]

I really like the way you've eschewed conventional rock-critic wisdom and focused on the music you actually like. I appreciate the honesty. I also think Visions and Reflektor are inspired choices.

"lol music is what i want it to be pop means that it is shit and album not good"
- pretty much everyone who comments on your charts

Don't get me wrong I've downgraded it because I think you could pass that stage in your listening. We all know they're not particularly talented artists and therefore we feel that it makes the chart look bad. However, if you truly enjoy these albums more so than others in 2010s, so be it.

My only concern is that this chart is pretty much exclusively pop with a bit of rock. I mean, try and explore more stuff. Even if pop is your genre of preference, I reckon there's albums out there which would storm the ones you listen to at the moment.

You are clearly at a learning curve in music listening (that's fine, as am I), and if you need recs you should check out some of the finest 2010s charts (or any charts for that matter) on the BEA database.

No offence but this chart is horrible. Come on Taylor Swift? Katy Perry? Those artists have nothing to do with making good allround albums.
