I was thinking about putting hellogoodbye's Everything is Debatable on my list... but the first half is so good it makes the second half seem not as good even though it is good

This list made me realize I haven't listened to a lot of music from this decade. I've just recently hit my stride with music so I'm really excited to look through everyone else's lists and find new stuff!

 

Man, this was harder than i thought it was going to be, but super fun. also, doing it made me remember how much i love some albums on here, and makes me want to listen to them way more. I would say that this is kind of in a particular order, but like, does it really matter what if something is 13 or 14? not really... but i tried to rank them as accurately as i could. i definitely want to listen to this list this week. here it issss!

1. The Hotelier – Home Like Noplace Is There
2. The Hotelier – Goodness
3. The Menzingers – On The Impossible Past
4. Sigur Ros – Valtari
5. James Blake – James Blake
6. Jimmy Eat World – Invented
7. O’ Brother – Garden Window
8. Kendrick Lamar – To Pimp a Butterfly
9. F**ked Up – David Comes To Life
10. Bon Iver – Bon Iver, Bon Iver
11. The Appleseed Cast – Illumination Ritual
12. The National – Trouble Will Find Me
13. Sufjan Stevens – Age of Adz
14. Julien Baker – Sprained Ankle
15. Fleet Foxes – Helplessness Blues

it hurt to leave off a lot of things on here. I really would like to say Pinegrove's "Cardinal" has a place on my list, but i just cant take some of those other ones off to fit it. itll be interesting to see how that record sits for me in the next 4 years, i can definitely see it surpassing some of those albums. Also shout out to Pale Horses, No Devolucion, The Lack Long After, Keep you, good kid m.A.A.d. city, L'Ami du Peuple... those ones were all hard to leave off.
