Best Albums of the 2010s
List of the best albums of all genres from the 2010s decade.
-
To Pimp a Butterfly - Kendrick Lamar
Definitely one of the most influential albums in recent hip hop and music history. Kendrick set the bar so high on this one that everyone else is better off skydiving. (Anyone get the reference?)
This belongs at number 1 on this list. Critical success? Yes. Commercial success? Yes. Number 1 now!
Best album of the century so far, hands down!
-
The Money Store - Death Grips
A huge toast to this album for its unique experimentation with hardcore hip hop and electronic music. The internet is obsessed with Death Grips, and they even like to make fun of them too, which is part of the greatness of why it's an art to them.
It deserves its praise. 10/10
-
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Kanye West
I can't even really describe why it's so good. There is that "special something" about it. The lyrics are deep, and the beats are even deeper.
Very self-deprecating and a great musical exploration by the most progressive rap artist of the past decade.
Why is this album at 8? Come on, this should at least be in the top 3!
Legendary masterpiece. It will be remembered forever as a work of art.
-
Awakening - Jackie Evancho
Each song is a winner. Something for everyone. I like her personal anthem, "Made to Dream."
Buy more than one copy and give them to people you love!
How about the "Think of Me" sample that has been pre-released? She is doing amazing new things with her voice!
Singing music from Rachmaninoff to U2, Miss Evancho demonstrates an interpretive genius seldom heard before.
Her voice is lush and majestic throughout the album.
-
Good Kid: M.A.A.D City - Kendrick Lamar
-
Atrocity Exhibition - Danny Brown
Atrocity Exhibition is one of the most abstract rap albums ever. From the beats to Danny's insane voice and flow, this album deserves to be in the top 5 this decade.
The songs "Downward Spiral" and "Ain't It Funny" are mind-blowing.
-
Dream With Me - Jackie Evancho
The Jackie Evancho Effect is real! It started with this album. You're minding your own business, channel surfing, when WHAM! A PBS special, and there's this little slip of a thing spotlighted in a huge outdoor theater.
As soon as you hear her voice, you're hit with a choked throat, teary eyes, and a dropped jaw. At the end of every song, you involuntarily shake your head in utter disbelief at what you just experienced!
It has little to do with her size and age. It's just that she sings better than you have ever heard anyone sing! Honest!
Jackie's debut full studio album was produced by David Foster and showcased in her first of three PBS specials, "Dream With Me - In Concert," with David Foster accompanying and hosting.

Everything Will Be Alright in the End - Weezer
-
Blackstar - David Bowie
-
Random Access Memories - Daft Punk
It won Best Album of the Year in 2013. Why wouldn't it be in the top ten? How many of those albums won this award?
Did people really think Red by Taylor Swift deserved Album of the Year that year? RAM is a masterpiece and deserves Top 10.
-
Born to Die - Lana del Rey
-
The Archandroid - Janelle Monae
-
Lonerism - Tame Impala
Who is this Jackie Evancho that's always on top of every list? She is so overrated! This is real music. This album is great from start to finish.
Not only is it one of my favorites of the decade, but of all time! Please get this to the top 3. PLEASE!
This is my favorite album of all time. It's very underrated, so I'm surprised that this is 13.
This is better than any Jackie Evancho album.
-
1989 - Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift has rocked the world with her album '1989' with songs such as Shake It Off and Blank Space.
-
Bloom - Beach House
-
Two Hearts - Jackie Evancho
You know an album is good when you find yourself humming many of the songs and hearing the singer in your head. It's all good!
This is a musical variety smorgasbord with something for everyone. It's a showcase for a Platinum and multi-Gold Album Award Winner. If you haven't heard it, you're an incomplete human being!
Far and above anything available today. This is an album obviously created with meticulous care, creativity, and intelligence. Jackie Evancho is definitely the voice and talent for the 21st century, not just this decade.
-
Beyoncé - Beyoncé
-
Melodrama - Lorde
-
Joanne - Lady Gaga
Better than all of these other albums by artists who I've literally not heard of. A living legend. Just watch her Super Bowl performance for proof. She is the single most talented vocalist alive.
-
Ceremonials - Florence + the Machine
-
Prism - Katy Perry
Prism is without any doubt Katy Perry's best album. She won many awards for her song Dark Horse from this album.
-
Recovery - Eminem
Recovery is one of Eminem's best albums. Many people think his best songs are Love The Way You Lie and Not Afraid, which are also from this album.
-
Am - Arctic Monkeys
