After an ambitious overview of the 2000s on this here website, I present a scaled-down look at my favorite albums released during the last 3,650 (or so) days, covering 2010-2019. Did I miss nearly every exciting musical trend of the last decade? It sure seems so! Regardless, these are the albums that brought me the most joy; hopefully there's a disc or two here that can do the same for you. Happy listening!
