Acclaimed Music Top 40 Albums from 2010 poll

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

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

a good top 3

dan otm. really not mad at this top at all. don't remember what i voted; either erykah or gsh.

*top 3

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Lol Brad

I actually voted for that Roots album that year.

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.
