Top 100 Music Albums of the 2010s by buzzdainer
The 2010s began for me in a cabin in the North Georgia mountains, an auspicious beginning to a decade that's had more than its share of ups and downs, but has also brought an incredible amount of musical inspiration. I have peers my age who won't listen to anything that's been released since they finished high school in the late eighties; they remind me of people in my dad's generation who think "the music died" when Don McLean said it did in "American Pie." No, no, no, folks. There is great stuff coming out all the time, if you're willing to go find it. I discover new stuff these days through BIRP! and No Depression and American Songwriter and the Americana Music Association and WNCW and Pitchfork, not to mention music festivals and word of mouth. And my tastes are surely inflected by the places I've lived--first Georgia, then across the state line in Western North Carolina, then Colorado's Front Range, then central Minnesota, and now southwest Montana, where I hope to remain. I like music from many different genres--whatever hits my sweet spot--though I am particularly fond of things that remind me of the mountain landscapes I love and the people most dear to me, even (and perhaps especially) the eccentrics, cranks, and weirdos who make life fun and constantly invigorating. I'm sure you've heard many things from this decade that I haven't, so I welcome your recommendations and your feedback on this chart. Happy reading and listening!

Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart is rated in the top 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 91.0/100, a mean average of 92.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 94.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.1.

Terrific chart> Can't wait to follow some of these leads!
God almighty what a gr8 chart.
Thank you, StreakyNuno, for those insightful comments on two of my favorite bands from the nineties. One broke up in 1994. The other recorded two albums in the 2010s, neither of which I have heard, let alone ranked.
Uncle tupelo anodyne best album ever and bufallo tom in second????
I don't feel like listening to the other albums this chart
You have a very interesting chart as well! So different than mine but that's totally fine. I'd love to see Kishi Bashi in concert! Quite curious about the band The Dø.
Thanks, WayneMC, for those helpful comments. I've listened to a bunch of Jon Hopkins albums, at least as background music, and like him. I probably haven't yet given him the dedicated attention he deserves, so I'm saving him for my next long road trip for a deeper listen.
Thanks for your very positive comments about my 2010s chart. I usually wait a year before adding anything recent but I've just added the new Jon Hopkins album, 'Singularity', despite only owning it a week. There are 60 albums in your chart that I haven't listened to (despite knowing many of the artists) but I'm certain there are some great albums there for me to discover.
Thanks for the encouraging word, ecwashere! Glad to see another BEA member who loves Once I Was an Eagle as much as I do. I think it's one of the very best breakup albums of all time, which is saying something since breakups and divorces have inspired some of the best material from our best artists (lookin' at you, Bob Dylan). For Laura Marling's sake, I hope she can find inspiration someplace else. No one should have to suffer for my musical enjoyment!
Great!

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
