ONTD Original: Best albums of the 2010s* (according to OP)

[anolinde]

As we come to the end of 2020, OP is inspired to create a list of her top 10 favorite albums of the decade. OP has no authority for any of this and throws herself upon your mercy.

*but there are also three from 2020 because OP can't read her own post

In no particular order:

1. Ceremonials by Florence + the Machine

Comments

this list is hilariously bad

you fooled me by starting with ceremonials tho

[anolinde]

That was my intent sis, gotta lure them in somehow ;)

What are your faves?

I'm probably forgetting a bunch of albuns I love, but this is what I've got right now

AM - Arctic Monkeys
Days Are Gone - HAIM
Emotion - Carly Rae Jepsen
Nine Types of Light - TV On The Radio
Night Time, My Time - Sky Ferreira
Pala - Friendly Fires
Primal Heart - Kimbra
Pure Heroine - Lorde
Take Me Apart - Kelela
Total Life Forever - Foals
TRON: Legacy - Daft Punk
Trouble - Natalia Kills

[xorogueox]

Shit, AM is a good pick!

[anolinde]

Ooh I'd forgotten about Natalia Kills, I don't think I ever listened to the album in full but "Trouble" was a great song!

[crayzee_mouse]

I looooove AM so much!

[xorogueox]

Loved the post OP! It reminds me of looking up stupid shit on 8tracks (rip) to fit a certain “ambience” while at university. I honestly don’t listen to full albums, but these are a few that come to mind!

Ben Howard I forget where we were **noonday dream is an absolute disappointment!!!
Purity Ring - shrines
Hozier -both
Arcade Fire (the suburbs and reflektor)
Hello Seahorse! (Entretanto and Arumina)
Francisca Valenzuela - buen soldado

And I know it doesn’t count, but Fever Ray (2009) was also good all around!

[anolinde]

Thank you! RIP 8tracks, that was such a good site. Got so many good fall songs from there.

I've got to check out Hozier's albums, I like a bunch of his singles but I've never actually listened to a whole album. Also gonna check out Francisca Valenzuela.

[maryjanewatson]

i know i’m biased but hozier’s 2 records + nina cried power ep are genuinely so good. having take me to church be such a hit was good for exposure but now ppl think that’s all he sounds like when that isn’t even close to his best song.

[ursusblack]

Sunshine Kitty - Tove Lo. I can't think of any other album that I liked as a whole.

[anolinde]

I don't think it's been the best decade for albums tbh.

[vibeology_e]

Not in any order and I'm probably missing some that I love:

12 Stories - Brandy Clark
Golden Hour - Kacey Musgraves
Emotion - Carly Rae Jepsen
Lemonade - Beyoncé
A Seat At The Table - Solange
Interstate Gospel - Pistol Annies
Days Are Gone - HAIM
Teenage Dream - Katy Perry
Dirty Computer - Janelle Monae
Random Access Memories - Daft Punk

[anolinde]

Nice!! I forgot about the Pistol Annies, they had that great song "Hell on Heels" that I was hearing everywhere for a while.
