Top 100 Music Albums of the 2010s
by 
travelful 
This chart is all killer with no filler. Anything featured in here I consider fairly essential and recommend to everybody. This is my favorite decade of music thus far, so there are at least another hundred excellent albums I wish I could've fit in here. Check out my yearly charts to see my "snapshot" for each year.

This is a very good chart, love that all five Beach House albums from the 2010's have made the cut.

I cant give you better with all these stale choices...
i came here cause of a shitty rating you gave an actual good album.... and this list was self-explanatory.
Theres still some nice picks like the roots, tribe and tame impala at least...

"All killer with no filler" is definitely a phrasing I intend to steal for future use! I really enjoy this chart, and I'm happy to see you've enjoyed Bon Iver's i,i as much as I have. It's sort of an odd, fragmentary little album, but also with some transcendent moments. Looking forward to checking out some selections from your chart that I haven't heard before, starting with The Year of Hibernation.
