If Drive-By Truckers release a great record in 2019 they’re on list. If you count Jason Isbell solo then the 2004 version of DBT is fer sure the best rock act of 2010s.

I love VW but the problem is my favourite album wasn’t released this decade and I don’t like Contra much. So it’s just one (great) album this decade...I might go with Drake actually !Thank me later (2010) Take care (2011)Nothing was the same (2013)If you’re reading this / what a time (2015)Views (2016)More life (2017)Scorpion (2018)he’s been pretty productive and constantly solid !

Oops Shabazz Palaces twice but they’re that good.
That no one so far has mentioned Beyoncé is unexpected, to say the least. If I hadn’t taken the thread title literally and had listed my top 3 instead, she would have been in it.

"Kuniko Kato"
not caught up with her last two releases, but loved the Pärt/Reich stuff she did.

She has only released one good album and at most three decent singles this decade.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 13 December 2018 17:43 (five years ago) link
And I’d argue Countdown is the only good single she has released this decade.

This had to have been a more lively topic in the days when most artists released an album a year or so. You could have a more dazzling track record.

I agree, I chose artists who have most affected me during that time, not some quantum of achievement or untarnished greatness.
