These are just the albums I have either listened to an awful lot, or simply enjoyed the most during the past decade. You might like them, you might not, or you might never have heard of them before. In which case, great.
I self-imposed a few rules: no more than one album per artist, no live, collaboration, or compilation albums, and no EPs.
If you click the cover art, you can watch a selected music video from each record, too.
