Robyn is by far the one of these I’m most likely to put on.

feel like the Big Boi joint WAS my summer of 2010 (one of the best summers of my life tbh).

so, that.

would also ride for the Robyn, the Janelle Monae, The-Dream, Crystal Castles, Sleigh Bells, and the Yelawolf (lol remember when he was good)

Lindstrøm & Christabelle (though I had my copy from Rough Trade in 2009)

Halcyon Digest gets my vote, love that album to pieces

but a lot of strong albums, the LCD one is good, Badu is excellent, Body Talk is really a compilation but it's amazing... good year

Cool to see Dënver in that list
In my book, the only albums of AOTY calibre here are Newsom, Kanye and Big Boi.
Others: Warpaint, Luisa Maita, Tulipa Ruiz

There are quite a few that I like but nothing is screaming out for my vote here. Going to vote for [i[Contra[/i] just over New Amerykah, Pt. 2 (Return of the Ankh) and Body Talk.

Yes on all counts.

What happened with Deerhunter? I loved Monomania but I felt like the press and maybe a lot of fans suddenly became lukewarm towards them from that album on.

A number of my favorite albums from the decade -- Four Tet, Robyn, Beach House. Teen Dream takes it though.

Hmmmm.

Went with Deerhunter.

(Considered Emeralds.)

I've never heard most of these. (Surprise!) Don't really like nu-Swans, and the Badu is a slightly less good follow-up to an amazing record, so this is either gonna be Diddy or Gil Scott-Heron for me.

I've loved all of the Beach House records but think Teen Dream was their best

Halcyon Digest felt like the best Deerhunter album too, although Microcastle/Weird Era Continued from 2008 was also great

Dan S, Tuesday, 17 May 2022 00:35 (two years ago) link

I *want* to love New Amerykah part 2 but it feels like it falls off in its second half :/

josh az (2011nostalgia), Tuesday, 17 May 2022 07:29 (two years ago) link

I thought High Violet was the National's best album, and How I Got Over is still one of the Roots' best albums - too bad they got no votes, but the competition was too much.

birdistheword, Tuesday, 17 May 2022 14:12 (two years ago) link

xp I'd only say that's the case with "Incense"

Eggs Benedick (Eric H.), Tuesday, 17 May 2022 14:20 (two years ago) link

there's gonna be a lot of slow singing and flower bringing
if i keep hearing return of the ankh falls off in the second half

flamenco drop (BradNelson), Tuesday, 17 May 2022 15:03 (two years ago) link

i appreciate "incense"'s decisive break toward jazz fusion, harp and vocals painted stroke by stroke, the right way to transition into "out my mind" imo

flamenco drop (BradNelson), Tuesday, 17 May 2022 15:05 (two years ago) link

def considered voting for the roots, how i got over is prob their best latter-day album

in places all over the world, real stuff be happening (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 17 May 2022 15:08 (two years ago) link

Four Tet deserved better but glad to see Teen Dream do so well

Lol Brad

I actually voted for that Roots album that year.

Legalize Suburban Benches (Raymond Cummings), Tuesday, 17 May 2022 16:04 (two years ago) link

My top ten would probably have (in no particular order) Deerhunter, Robyn, Kanye, Big Boi, Arcade Fire, Janelle Monáe, LCD Soundsystem, the National, the Roots and MGMT...but I feel like there's at least two or three other albums I'd want to include that aren't in that poll.
