Top 100 Music Albums of the 2010s
by 
RoundTheBend 
Albums which didn't make the cut to 100 cuz subjectivity is easy. But mostly because of a number of factors: it's good, but I don't like it. The 2010s changed music history. There are lot of veteran artists with heavy hitters.
And one of the best releases of 2010s but recorded in the 60s: The Smile Sessions, so left it off.
And yes Kanye not on my list was intentional.
