Very uk-centric but I like it. Lots of songs which were popular on ILM’s EOY poll and which I had even forgotten came out this decade.

"bipp" is a worthy #1

Holy shit, two of those lists up there put DJ Rashad's Double Cup in the top 10. This warms my heart and gives me hope.

The music video for She A Go might be my favorite this decade.

i wonder if the Quietus is doing one. now that i might actually enjoy.

they probably are but their recent enough "best albums of the life time of the quietus" (iirc) was really weird and atypical for them because they asked a much wider range of contributors than usual for their votes
― ufo, Friday, 15 November 2019 04:19 (four years ago) link
didn't see that, but I like the idea of an atypical list

this was it, atypical bc it's a bit less in line with their usual general aesthetic, and some really bizarre picks like the second travis scott album
― ufo, Friday, 15 November 2019 06:53 (four years ago) link
Lololol genuine joy at 'Blue Pedro' still hanging in there in the Crack list.
― Matt DC, Friday, 15 November 2019 11:36 (four years ago) link
:D that's cool! it'll def be in my list
― imago, Friday, 15 November 2019 11:39 (four years ago) link
oh, i do remember that Quietus list now. i did a quick look through it at the time and was totally dismayed, so decided to just stick with their end of year hoopla.

15. A Tribe Called Red - We Are the Halluci Nation (2016)
This album is fantastic and everyone should listen to it.

my opo Canadian album of the 10s is Mind Miniatures by Aquarian Foundation
― brimstead, Saturday, 16 November 2019 00:32 (four years ago) link
interesting to see Born to Die on a number of these lists. Perhaps it's the latest addition to the "albums that were critically panned upon release but are now acclaimed" club? Or nah?
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Saturday, 16 November 2019 01:14 (four years ago) link
A Tribe Called Red are really great, I've taught their music in my indigenous lit/history classes. missed their show here last year because i was ill, but heard it was phenomenal from a friend who went.

Not an ordered list, but AllMusic just put out a Decade in Review in which most of the albums featured have been upgraded to 5 Stars (with the exception of albums from 2018/2019). Some Interesting choices in there:https://www.allmusic.com/decade-in-review

this one's very dull, the most interesting thing i can say about it is they confusingly put the absolute worst james blake album (overgrown) on it
― ufo, Thursday, 21 November 2019 05:15 (four years ago) link
Ugh James Blake. I get his fandom even less than Frank Ocean’s.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 21 November 2019 06:23 (four years ago) link
That said, I don’t hate this list. Sure 80% of it is comprised of the “consensus” picks we’ll continue to see everywhere but it somehow feels to me like a more varied list than similar ones in its ranking and selections.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 21 November 2019 07:21 (four years ago) link
Maybe I’m just happy to see Shabazz so high in here

obligatory left field / not pop / classical / improvised / noise music, etc. on Another Timbr--several *great* albums over the last ten years:
Horsky ParkLost Daylight (Tilbury)Ist gefallen in den SchneeChamber works 92-09 (Laurence Crane)Two Pianos (Feldman)Olivia Block (s/t)
as well as the just-released five disc Feldman box set.. AT are killing it

did this one get posted? unranked. https://aquariumdrunkard.com/2019/10/30/aquarium-drunkard-decade-2010-19/i contributed! it's a pretty good selection.
― tylerw, Thursday, 21 November 2019 19:29 (four years ago) link
I have no idea why AT has garnered so much avant-garde cred and not, say, Kairos or Wergo or Neos or Outhere's sadly dormant Aeon imprint, each of which has put out infinitely more interesting records in my estimation. Actually, I think I know why: AT is British and thus more in tune with the tastes of English-speaking listeners. (Just thinking out loud here – I enjoy AT's releases for the most part.)

Would love to hear some recommendations if you wouldn't mind sharing...

Sure! I'll try to come up with a solid list for the 2010s, I just need a bit of time. Until then, you can check the rolling 2019 classical for some more recent suggestions:

Making notes.
Pomenitul, what do you think of Sono Luminus' releases of the last few years, all the Icelandic stuff they've been doing?
― shared unit of analysis (unperson), Thursday, 21 November 2019 22:11 (four years ago) link
At times the stuff they release is a little too soundtracky or John Adams-y or neo-Romantic (in the bad sense) for my admittedly idiosyncratic ears, but most of it is really solid and I salute their commitment to Anna S. Þorvaldsdóttir's music in particular, as she is one of my favourite living composers. I'm also glad they've got Jenny Lin and Matei Varga – superb pianists both.

Wow the Adrian Younge album on this list is stunning, it's like The Belle Album on steroids.

this is a surprisingly quite good list! "good day" at #1 is a strange, boring pick though - it's a decent song and was one of iu's biggest hits but hardly represents what made kpop so exciting this decade
― ufo, Tuesday, 26 November 2019 06:33 (four years ago) link
Some decent tokenistic picks in that Allmusic list, alongside the usual ubiquitous trash.
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 26 November 2019 09:37 (four years ago) link
that kpop list *is* pretty good. a lot of my favorites in the top 30. “i am the best” should've been no. 1, maybe obvious but, like, is there anything better
― american bradass (BradNelson), Tuesday, 26 November 2019 13:34 (four years ago) link
i don't know if it'd be my personal #1 but as far as being both Important and Really Good goes it's the obvious pick yeah. certainly the defining song of the defining sound in kpop of its time. i have a few minor quibbles with some of the order and the song picks (like i'd go for "likey" as the best twice single of the decade over "tt") but they're really quite minor overall, it's a great list.
― ufo, Tuesday, 26 November 2019 13:43 (four years ago) link
"tt" is one of my favorites of the decade! but i cld see "likey" as the representative pick-- to pull from a tsj blurb, "it’s a perfect balance of charming leap and trembling flail forward, doing its best to never sound as starved a record as it is"
