2010s top 75 artists
by paladisiac

Frozen in time -- these are my favorite artists of the 2010s as measured by their individual albums. This list was maintained annually as "my CURRENT favorite artists". However, since the 2010s have concluded AND since i measure my "current favorite artists" by artist output over the last 10 years, i saw an opportunity to copy that list over to this one before i updated the "CURRENT fav artists" list based on 2020 album output. So here it is... my favorite artists of the 2010s.

One of the best IDM-minded artists of the day. They've consistently released fun, dancey, pop tunes since "the warning".

2019 sees a steady decline in their consistency although "a bath full..." attempts new sounds for them.

They've been pretty solid in making the end of the world tuneful since "alligator".

Yes, James Murphy called it a career, but it seems like he changed his mind...

I loved "dark fantasy" but haven't been as enamored with each subsequent release. There's an undeniable ton of talent here though.

I love the playful, upbeat tunes from their paul-simon-and-peter-gabriel-sounding first two albums, and how they were able to improve on their fine mid-tempo numbers on "modern vampires".

Dig the concept here. I suppose it'd be a little like creating a combination chart of 2000s and 2010s but only allowing last ten years... I might just give it a go to see what happens.
