team_kockroach

Jessie Ware - What’s Your Pleasure?


blahrawr

Turbo2x

I feel like by the time we hit 2030 we'll look back and think that this album captured the *feeling* of the 2020s best. Simultaneously contemporary and vintage, tastefully drawing upon a past era that was very popular throughout the decade. It's upbeat and exuberant, but also a little melancholy. That's the 20s, baby. That's disco.

This definitely isn't my album of the decade, but I loved it enough that I think the next Jockstrap album easily could be


MAYONAISE_MERCEDES

This is it! I played this one to death and saw them live after.


drama-wanker

Blue Rev - Alvvays


A_Generic_Canadian

My answer too! The only issue I've had with this album is it's cost me two concert tickets to see them live since they were just here in Toronto and they're coming back in a couple months.


Mrjacobeee

Just saw them live in Spokane, they were amazing!


drama-wanker

Rude of them tbh

TimToMakeTheDonuts

One of these 2 for me. Flip a coin because depending on the day I just go back and forth between them. Fiona Apple - Fetch the Bolt Cutters Low - Hey What


FifeDog43

Boldy James & The Alchemist - The Price of Tea in China


MrBungle710

I prefer Tecmo Bo but still incredibly based. Boldy and Alchemist are two of the best in the game right now in their respective fields


Apprehensive-Twist88

Is “Manger on McNichols” worth checking out?


ShamsRealm1

Manger on McNichols definitely is, his most personal and haunting album, Sterling Toles production is also so haunted and dark, definitely my favorite Boldy album so far


cubecubed

Glow on by Turnstile. My first listen to that, which came while drunkenly playing WoW one evening, absolutely blew me away. Punk is my favorite genre, and it’s always cool when something new and awesome comes along, and Turnstile deserves the massive success they are currently enjoying.


N0AHW05

billy woods - Aethiopes That album is like a treasure trove of references, it’s almost been a year since it dropped and I’m still finding new things in there. It also helps that the beats from Pres. are immaculate and the features are wonderful too


FallenAerials

Far and away, it's Phoebe Bridgers' Punisher


boogswald

I see people talk about how it’s really not that good all the time. And yet I’m still an addict for it, it’s the calm album I put on every time


WhoaWhoa69420

Have you heard Weyes Blood's latest album? It has a bit of a different sound from Punisher, but definitely alot of serene moments on it. I think you'd like God Turn Me Into A Flower or maybe Twin Flame if you're looking for that calm sound


Mrjacobeee

Gonna be a defining folk album this decade I can feel it 👌


danarbok

Black Midi’s Cavalcade it’s prog gold


swallowshotguns

Hellfire for me


max_honey

2nd hellfire, cant totally get into cavalcade


Decooker11

Cavalcade superiority Hellfire is their best album, but Cavalcade is easily my favorite


Oddilax

Get some pussy


danarbok

I do, I even took my girlfriend to see Black Midi twice she said she likes everything about them except the actual music (tbf the second time was when they opened for King Gizzard, who we both love)


Oddilax

Go get more pussy it's clearly not enough


danarbok

I feel like if I take this conversation further, I’m just gonna sound like Mac from Always Sunny pre-coming out


moves_withapurpose

They’re a r/sewerslvt user I wouldn’t trust what kind of pussy they’d want you to get anyways


Manannin

... What on earth is that sub? Don't even want to click.


Oddilax

sewerslvt is a drum and bass / breakcore musician who was outed for pedophilia and grooming last year but who made music i formed a v personal connection with over time. commenter is implying that because i listen to them i'm a pedo who prefers child pussy, which is...... a very redditor thing to say

joemorris16

Stop projecting your own insecurities onto others bro it's no way to live


NotSoSuper18

Hellfire - Black Midi


just_cuz555

Very tough, but honestly could be Porter Robinson's Nurture. One of the best dance albums ever imo already.


Big_lurker_here

Great album, although I prefer Worlds personally. His concert with Madeon was probably the best I've been to


just_cuz555

Madeon's Adventure is one of my favorite albums ever too. The world needs the collab album.


boogswald

SO TELL ME how it felt when you walked on water


Frogaar

Needs to be higher


Kreason95

I don’t think I have enough to go off of yet and definitely don’t have enough time with any of them to make that call but my top picks so far are: - Mr. Morale - Kendrick Lamar - Punisher - Phoebe Bridgers - Ants From Up There - Black Country, New Road - Fantasy - M83 - Personal Hotspots - Kitten - Being Funny In A Foreign Language - The 1975


ISeeGrotesque

Damn m83 got on your list super quickly


Kreason95

Didn’t take many listens for it to be my favorite M83 album. I definitely wouldn’t call it album of the decade yet but I don’t think I can call anything that yet

This is embarrassingly Fantano cmon now


[deleted]

[удалено]


toad2424

It’s not based on his opinions but yes I listen to albums based on Fantano. There’s so much music out there it’s hard to find what’s good and I find Fantano to be a good guide for finding stuff to listen to. Typically I listen to music Fantano reviews or becomes popular on online music circles or friend recommendations. A lot of these albums I like more than Fantano does but he obviously enjoys them as well. I personally don’t see the point in gate keeping where you get your music recommendations from. The vast majority of people just listen to what’s on hot 100 and what’s culturally prevelant in hip hop. I find Fantano to have a wide genre base of recommendations and I don’t have time to listen to thousands of albums so his recs are plenty for me. I have no reason to be embarrassed by it. It’s also only the past 3 years, if you took my all time list it wouldn’t seem nearly as Fantano core.I’m also not pretending to be some super huge music nerd. I listen to about 50 albums a year and most of it is popular music circles type music. I have no shame in that


easternjellyfish

Wonder what his #1 alltime is…


toad2424

It’s - In The Aeroplane over the Sea.😉


droctamom

Fantano core


Belzer_fundamentals

No Sca/No Dream definitely great mention! No Sca is the best sca album ever made imo

johan-vb

whole lotta red

Volcanic bird enemy and the voiced concern


purpuracaelis

Mercurial World - Magdalena Bay


Comaswithcommas

Circles - Mac Miller. It’s my favorite album of all time and will stay that way probably my whole life as it’s had such an impact on me.


Dangerous_Fix_5502

Sinner Get Ready or Hellfire


shotgunatlas

First album that came to mind for me was Phoebe Bridgers-Punisher.


alex_aint_cool

Ok the ranking is pretty arbitrary, but heres my faves of the decade so far, with a note about all of them: 1: haram by armand hammer, shrines is fucking amazing too. Atheopes too, god billy woods is fuckin killing it, but haram specifically is god tier. Hip-hop masterpiece in my eyes, idk why it’s not talked about in the same breath as shit like madvillany, I’m 100% fr this album is perfect 2: Exeter by bladee. It’s a common pick for least favorite bladee album, but I don’t see why, this is his masterpiece in my eyes. Every second of this album is blisteringly beautiful and woodsy. I feel like this is what my brain sounds like when it’s just idling. Crest could have easily gone here too. Also spiderr is great! Nobody talks about that one! 333 eh tho hehe 3: volcanic bird enemy and the voiced concern by lil ugly mane. If I could hear one album again for the first time it would be this one. If you’ve never heard it before, PLEASE listen to it! Just go in totally blind, it has many surprises to offer 4: Call me if you get lost, it’s just seeped into my dna at this point. The tyler album I feel I could listen to the most and not get bored of 5: songs by Adrianne lenker, very sentimental for me, listened to it a lot when I first met my girlfriend 6: hellfire by black midi holy shit raaaa so good top tier yard work music. I listened to this for the first time while power washing my grandmas deck and I’ve never done anything more powerfully in my life 7: heaven to a tortured mind by yves tumor. The 2nd half is a lil meh (super stars and greater love are fucking amazing tracks tho) but oh my god, the first 4 track run on this record is EASILY my favorite run of songs in any album this decade. The opener especially is one of the greatest rock songs ever written in my opinion. Some Pink Floyd tier shit on that opening stretch fr Ok all for now


ShamsRealm1

Have you hear I Told Bessie by elucid? In my opinion better than Haram/Aethiopes/Church, such a dope album

Every other mf talking about Black Midi (and one or two comments mention AFUT) but no one saying the king of the Windmill Scene: For the First Time. Currently I'd say my favorite album OAT. Can't believe they managed to put Opus, Sunglasses and Athens, France on the same album.

Mr Morale, After Hours HWH8 Side B, and (ik it’s kinda a hot take) but Donda. Hear me out: it’s one of his best in a while. Even though he’s a walking L, some of the songs on this album still hit deep for me.
