The Best Albums of the Decade.

Here is my list of the best albums of the past decade. I'm hardly a musical expert - more than any other medium, my inclinations gravitate towards certain genres and certain artists I'm already a fan of. But the last decade helped me expand my musical tastes more and the collection below hopefully somewhat reflects that.

The below list has a lot of mainstays from other similar lists, but also quite a few albums you will almost certainly not find on any other list. They are, more than anything, based on what I listened to the most and the music that soundtracked the past ten years of my life. Naturally, some of the older collections rose to the top as my nostalgia for them has powered them through the years, so it's possible this would change after more time with the newer entries.

Here are my picks below. Enjoy!
