Top 80 Music Albums of the 2010s
by 
Jimmy Dread 
I'm really struggling to think of 100 albums from the 2010s I actually really enjoyed to the point of putting them in a chart. A real mixed bag, probably more reflective of the fact that I don't tend to listen to much new stuff at the moment, but every now and then I discover a nugget. If I do, I'll add it to this list... Jimmy, January 2021.

PICK - Secret Surprise; FIRST HEARD: via my cousin David, founder of Art Is Hard records. My cousin's label gave Joanna Gruesome (gotta love the name) their first record deal, although admittedly it was only a one-off appearance on an LP called 'the sound of young Weymouth'. JG are actually Welsh, tread a fine line between indie pop and riot grrrl, apparently recorded this LP in a haunted house,

PICK - Fall Back; FIRST HEARD: via anydecentmusic.com. Sounding in parts more like Throbbing Gristle than Throbbing Gristle did, no other LP released in the 2010s made me feel like dancing and (thanks to the claustrophobic production and my Sennheisers making the synthetic cymbal noises sound like icicles) putting on a jumper simultaneously. This will be Top 10 before the decade's out. Either that or fade without a trace. For now, this mash-up of 80s electro and 90s techno with Cozy Fanni Tutti-esque vocal stylings is on constant repeat, much to my son's amusement.

PICK - Right Side Of My Brain; FIRST HEARD: via Skatterbrain. Another find courtesy of my favourite indie-pop blog, and even more unbeliveably (well at least so far this decade) one of the best albums to come out of England of the 2010s. This is why the Mercury Prize should be abolished and replaced with something of my choosing. Then we'd win Eurovision and X Factor would be consigned to the dustbin of history, along with the Minipops and anything to do with Jimmy 'Sick Bastard' Savile.
