Top 100 Music Albums of the 2020s
by 
LedZep 
While the 2010s were the formative time for me as a teenage/YA music fan, this decade represents me well as a "developed" listener. As the decade goes by, I've become more interested in the live experience, from DJ sets to concerts to audiovisual projects to various experimental formats, and less in the album format. Although I'm still a huge fan of simply playing great albums from start to finish, which is what this chart is trying to showcase. When all is said and done, I'm pretty sure this will be my favourite decade of music.
