Can't wait for everyone who doesn't really give a rip about music to open the thread and start shitting on everyone who listens to more than what's on the radio.

I love purgatory, it's also one of my favorite albums of the decade. Tyler Childers is incredibly talented. I also really like his live red barn album and his most recent one is good.

 

[Al_4_State]

I love purgatory, it's always one of my favorite albums of the decade. Tyler Childers is incredibly talented. I also really like his live red barn album and his most recent one is good.

I like all of those too. Country Squire made my 2019 list, but not quite my decade list.

The version of "Shake the Frost" on the Red Barn Sessions is jaw dropping.

 

[dmclone]

I''m officially old as hell. I've heard of Queens of the Stone Age and Brother Trucker and of that two, only own anything from Queens of the Stone Age.

I don't know much about today's music but I know that over the last 10 years I've listened to a lot of music from Kanye and Kendrick Lamar that was great.

 

[srjclone]

I could never actually do this. I listen to far too many artists in far too many genre's to properly give them their credit. I'd have to break them into genre's I think.

 

[AgronAlum]

I like all of those too. Country Squire made my 2019 list, but not quite my decade list.

The version of "Shake the Frost" on the Red Barn Sessions is jaw dropping.

I've been obsessed with Tyler Childers for awhile now. The Red Barn Sessions is full of great music across the board. My favorites are Charleston Girl. Deadman's Curve, Shake the Frost and Bottles and Bibles.

 

[Bret44]

Oh man, I am gonna need to do this next week when I have time to sit and think. Lots of Turnpike, lots of Sturgill, Lots of Jinks. Lots of Boland, Lots of Isbell, Lots of Childers.

 

[Bret44]

Chris Shiflett's albums are great. Man, lots of great stuff. Margo Price. I am gonna do this, just not today.

 

[Stewo]

Parkway Drive "Deep Blue"
Northlane "Alien"
Ghost Iris "Apple of Discord"
Currents "I Let The Devil In"
Architects "Holy Hell"
Traitors "Repent"
Distant "Zeroten"

 

[cyclones500]

I can’t compete with @Al_4State’s list, but I appreciate the thread topic. Motivates me to attempt to catch up (even if I’ll never fully do so).

This is the first decade since the ‘70s (the 1970s, thank you) that I consumed more music singly than I did through LPs. As a result, my top albums list is sparse and also heavy on semi-retro and repeat performers.

Anyway, my favorites, roughly in this order:
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, “Hypnotic Eye” (2014)
Telekinesis, “12 Parallel Straight Lines” (2011)
Wilco, “The Whole Love (Deluxe)” (2011)
Wilco, “Star Wars” (2015)
Beck, “Colors” (2016)
Parquet Courts, “Human Performance” (2016)
The I Don’t Cares, “Wild Stab” (2016)
Best Coast, “California Nights” (2015)
Redd Kross, “Researching the Blues” (2012)
The Black Keys, “Brothers” (2010)

 

[CloneFan4]

1.) Arctic Monkeys "AM" (2013)



....everything else

 

[DeereClone]

Helluva list, Al.

Turnpike’s A Long Way from Your Heart is probably my favorite album of all time.

Big into Jinks, Childers, and Shane Smith right now as well.

 

[Shawker]

Just a few off the top of my head.

Muse "Drones"
Father John Misty "I Love You, Honeybear"
Foo Fighters "Wasting Light"
Royal Blood "Royal Blood"
Radiohead "A Moon Shaped Pool"
QOTSA "...Like Clockwork"

 

[BryceC]

Carly Rae Jepsen “Emotion”. Yes I’m serious. Don’t @ me

 

[Al_4_State]

Helluva list, Al.

Turnpike’s A Long Way from Your Heart is probably my favorite album of all time.

Big into Jinks, Childers, and Shane Smith right now as well.

I love Jinks' "Adobe Sessions". Considered it for the list. I like Shane Smith & the Saints too. I haven't quite gone over the moon for them, but every time I listen to them, I think I should listen more.

 

[Al_4_State]

Just a few off the top of my head.

Muse "Drones"
Father John Misty "I Love You, Honeybear"
Foo Fighters "Wasting Light"
Royal Blood "Royal Blood"
Radiohead "A Moon Shaped Pool"
QOTSA "...Like Clockwork"

I forgot that Wasting Light was this decade. Totally worthy inclusion.

 

[Al_4_State]

Chris Shiflett's albums are great. Man, lots of great stuff. Margo Price. I am gonna do this, just not today.

West Coast Town just missed the cut.
