I think this chart is probably the one I'm most comfortable putting out there. I've listened to most of what's been worth listening to this decade and this is what I've come back with. What do you think?

Great chart! Liked seeing all the Kendrick as well as some Bon Iver and El Camino by The Black Keys. Good work

Thanks for inviting feedback on this outstanding 2010s chart! I love a number of your selections, especially Teen Dream (I know everyone loves that album, but it's for good reason); Visions; Lost in the Dream; and Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit. You've also given me reason to consider giving Bon Iver, a band I like a lot, a bit more love in my own charts. Great work here!

wow, very good selection I think. I would add Menomena (Moms, Fiends and Foe), Metronomy (The english Riviera), Foxygen (We are the 21st ...) and Black Mouses (Induction)

Yeah Electric Picnic, actually missed their set so I'm a tad disappointed with that as a Talking Heads fan, but it was a split second decision, got to all the main acts I wanted to see throughout weekend anyway though.

Electric Picnic? David Byrne and St. Vincent were amazing, well worth seeing if you ever get the chance.

Chvrches yesterday, so I see you were at EP too, any highlights?
As for the chart, it's pretty cool, more than half these albums make my 2010's chart so I can't fault it, although the placing of them is probably a but different. Keep digging through music! Good chart!

Funny, I had a chance to see Chvches yesterday but didn't bother. I like that song Recover though. Is there something wrong with liking Cults or did I misread your tone?
