Top 100 Music Albums of the 2010s
by 
CharlieBarley 
The 2010s top 100 was a relatively easy chart to complete as the albums all came out fairly recently and I have a fair idea of what I like in modern music. I have tried to include as many new artists as possible but many classic artists have had some bloomin' good albums out in the 2010's decade. As I make my never-ending trawl of the BEA Overall Chart I keep discovering new albums I want to include.

Really enjoy this 2010s list, and happy to see Blackstar appearing at #2 for the decade. I haven't ranked it that high yet, but it's the album from 2016 that's made the strongest impression on me thus far. Such a beautiful swan song for Bowie, somehow making art out of dying. Only Bowie could pull that off as well as he did. Also from this list I love Once I Was an Eagle, Born to Die, and that great Courtney Barnett album from last year. You have lots of diversity of genre here and a ton of stuff I haven't heard yet. Before I do anything else, I need to dig into Manic Street Preachers!
