Top 46 Music Albums of the 2010s
by 
DeusExMackia 
This one needs some work! For now, consider it the 36 best records of the 2010s in no particular order.
On a personal note, these are essentially the records that have soundtracked the last 10 years of my life or so. As such, they're pretty darn important to me.
It's also quite tough to choose records from the last few years; I've spent most of my time on this site adding records because of their significance to me, and that takes a while to build sometimes. In essence, the older the record, the more firm its position.

Best songs: Mariner's Apartment Complex, Venice Bitch, The Greatest
In all honesty, choosing even three songs from NFR! is impossible. The sheer weight of its escapism into the decaying world of the American dream and the dying hope of celebrtisied, sun-drench Californian romance is intoxicating and all consuming. Within the classic rock influenced sound and husky vocals is a record that became an instant classic the moment it graced us with its presence. I've yet to escape its desolation.

Best songs: Star Treatment, One Point Perspective, The Ultracheese
A true musical middle finger to listeners who wanted something safe. A tough sell if you were expecting the 'typical' Arctic Monkeys album, and some would almost certainly ask if this isn't just a new Last Shadow Puppets record. But how far this band have come; I detested Tranquility Base the first time I listened to it, and yet here I am seemingly unable to shake Star Treatment being on repeat.

Best songs: Sha Sha Sha, The Lotts, Dublin City Sky
An instant classic, post-punk encapsulation of modern Dublin, capturing the people, the sights and their stories in intricate, blunt detail. Like the anecdotes you tell yer mates over a few pints, Dogrel is a straight talking, prosaically dramatised notation of life in a world weary of capitalism, worn down by politics and greyed by an inability to escape urban life.

Best Songs: Sad Day, Holy Terrain, Mary Magdalene
FKA Twigs, 21st century cyber-witch, conjuring dark magic through drum machines and trap beats. Reflections on love that sting like a needle. Burns with unquenched passion, demands to be met with the same energy it shines out at you. Nothing about Magdalene deserves to be described as anything less than breathtaking.
