Top 100 Music Albums of the 2010s
by dihansse

The 2010s are a lot better than the 2000's because there are a large number of good young bands. I still find that this decade doesn't produce a lot of mainstream classics which are appreciated by everyone which shows the very fragmented musical landscape in this music streaming decade where full albums are not as appreciated as they should be.
Especially the secon part of the decade turns out to be very good.

I completely agree with your statement that the 2010s are a decade marked by a fragmented musical landscape. I think that's one of today's music scene's defining features. Which is both good and bad. The whole idea of a band "selling out" feels outdated to me--yet it's a little sad that artists like Courtney Barnett and the War on Drugs aren't household names. Intrigued to see King Of The Sun in your top ten--that's an album I haven't heard yet, but I will give it a spin, thanks to your recommendation (of sorts). Great work!
