Over the last few weeks, with more time on my hands and a desire to take my mind off the state of the world, I figured it was as good a time as ever to go through the ten years I've had this blog and put together a (somewhat) comprehensive guide to the media I enjoyed the most since I began.
I spent much of the last year going back to old movies, albums and TV shows thinking about what I was enjoying ten years ago and what stayed with me since then. It felt like now was the perfect time to put my thoughts into my favorite form of creative deliberation: lists.
It's meant a lot to me over the years to have people ask me for recommendations of what I was enjoying recently, and with so many of us at home I've been heartened by how frequently I've been asked lately. What better way to make use of our time and commemorate the works that stuck out to me during the time I've logging my viewing and listening habits.
At the end of the day, it would probably be more fitting to call these favorites than bests. I don't claim to be a scholar of every artistic form, nor do I get paid to write them so my choices are geared to my tastes and nostalgia.
Below are the four lists that made most sense to me to categorize the art that impacted me the most from 2010-2019. In another ten years, I hope to do the same with another library of art, and I'm sure I'll look back at these lists with qualms and different opinions. But for now, if you need any ideas for something new to dive into, I hope this will give you a good place to start:
