Your music of the decade?

I can't speak about objectively best bands, only for what music I've liked made in the 2010s (not counting jazz, which is a whole other thing for me). In alphabetical order I got: Carbon Based Lifeforms, Chvrches, Clutch, Halfnoise, Hozier, Josh Ritter, Lorn, The Other Favorites, The Regrettes, Saint Motel, Sarah Jarosz, The Tallest Man on Earth, and Vulfpeck.

I have a fuller list of music I've been listening to on my other computer, so might want to add some later. It's interesting looking at that list. We've basically got it heavy on electronic and folk, and a little sprinkling of punk and soul. They're all pretty indie also.

If you've got a Spotify playlist, I'd love a link, dema. I usually dig the stuff you post in the big music thread. "Angelina" by The Other Favorites has been on heavy rotation on my devices lately. :)

Ok, my earlier post mostly just focused on older music I'd gotten into in this decade, but here's a playlist of my fave song for each year: (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2H5GnsIl4qEFgB2RcMr3Oe?si=TYtL4IvCQI-HWZBJLTMD-Q) Songs of the 2010's

2010: Sleigh Bells - Tell Em
2011: Tune-Yards - Gangsta
2012: Death Grips - I've Seen Footage
2013: Chvrches - The Mother We Share
2014: BADBADNOTGOOD ft. Leland Whitty - Confessions
2015: Shamir - On The Regular
2016: Rihanna - Higher
2017: Superorganism - Something for you M.I.N.D.
2018: Shitkid - Yooouuu
2019: Blind Boys of Alabama ft. Marc Cohn - Work To Do

I think (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/50toyMbYQQoODkykw9rwG8?si=qJeFxtamRg-CfYf-3vtCBg) 2010 might've been my fave music year this decade. Kanye, M.I.A. and Gorillaz released their best albums. Sleigh Bells came on the scene. Robyn, Gil-Scott Heron, and Charlotte Gainsbourg released great albums. (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3zTrkWqoTeVQRW6A2GSU1B?si=fVNRqlkdRySGqoLHxWYv0w) 2013 and (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/55LfIPgdvpDLKiJx6rTGUY?si=vwK9SkZoQGizsOxA8uOyWg) 2016 were really strong too.

Dema - I'll take any Jazz recommendations if you have them! Think there's only one album by Tineke Postma I've listened to from the last 10 years unless I've forgotten something. Otherwise I keep picking a Cannonball Adderley Album.
