The 100 Best Albums of the Decade So Far (Pitchfork)


Two days ago I spotified Pitchfork's 200 Best Tracks of the Decade So Far. As Todd Terje would say, now it's album time. The span remains the same: Pitchfork picked its favourite works from 2010 to (half) 2014. Kanye West is the overall winner, with #1 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, another one in the Top 10 (#8 Yeezus) and another one in the Top 50 (Watch the Throne, in collaboration with Jay-Z, at #43). Nobody else has three albums in the chart, while Kendrick Lamar (#2, #77), Frank Ocean (#4, #54), Beach House (#5, #53), Vampire Weekend (#6, #46), Tame Impala (#7, #83), Drake (#12, #41), Real Estate (#13, #86), Beyoncé (#14, #39), Swans (#17, #85), Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti (#20, #81), Kurt Vile (#32, #42) and Arcade Fire (#33, #88) have two.

Go to Pitchfork for quick notes/motivations about each album and for an alphabetical list of the Top 50 Videos of the Decade So Far (I won't spotify that one). Listen to the Spotify mix, below. 

Enjoy!
