What's Been The Best Album This Decade - Since 2007 (Optional?) (1 Viewer)

I'm going Vampire Weekend's Modern Vampires Of The City, but I don't know enough. 

Spoon's They Want My Soul?

If we are talking past 10 year, Them Crooked Vultures (2009) is my favorite

Awesome. But not end of thread.

Caveat.... I'm myopically fixated right now and not remembering other albums that turned my crank... but I don't remember having the blinders on for an album the way I do for IDLES' Brutal in a long time.

ETA... And wwell aware that once I think about it look back I'll find a bunch that are "better"

Why don't you like reggae?  

  

 

[JB Breakfast Club]

My first thought was Arctic Monkeys, AM (2013)

 

[Buckychudd]

Foster the People - Torches

Oh, we were talking this particular decade, but I'm not stifling debate. 2007-2017 leaves a lot more open for me. 

I'd go Walkmen You& Me or Modest Mouse We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank...

 

[wikkidpissah]

I agree with Floppo - Myopically Fixated by Caveat is my favorite of the young people's audiogoogle discs

Jason Isbell - Southeastern (2013)

 

[El Floppo]

2007... Iirc, had spoon, arcade fire and lcd soundsystem come out with fantastic albums

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

If we're counting from '07-'17 then it's  LCD SS---Sound of Silver (2007).

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Frightened Rabbit's Midnight Organ Fight(2008) would be a close 2nd.

If it's just from this decade I'd go with Modern Vampires of the City or The Suburbs.

In Rainbows and For Emma, Forever Ago also from 2007.

I say do this decade and if you want to go back a few years, go ahead. It's up for grabs.

You can like what you like, I'll like what I like.

It's sad, but I can't name a single album in the last ten years.  The entire concept is so foreign to me now, when 20 years back I would be able to name maybe 100.

Kind of why I asked, actually. No shame in that. I've moved backwards, not forwards.  

 

[Northern Voice]

Frightened Rabbit's Midnight Organ Fight(2008) would be a close 2nd.

This is my #1. 

Boxer by The National and The Seldom Seen Kid by Elbow would be close. Maybe throw in Wolfgang Amadeus Pheonix and Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga too.

 

[Northern Voice]

This decade, maybe AM.

 

[Northern Voice]

Also, Celebration Rock.

 

[Northern Voice]

Stay Positive.

Sound Kapital

Sometimes I sit and think...

 

[Dan Lambskin]

They all suck

 

[rockaction]

Also, Celebration Rock.

Boys are leaving town. 

She had wet hair.  

 

[rockaction]

I'd probably go You & Me if you're going to go 2007-forward. Moody, dark, it still sounds pristine now.  

 

[otb_lifer]

40th anniversary reissues of "Ramones", "Leave Home", "Rocket to Russia"

 

[DaVinci]

Blackberry Smoke - Little Piece of Dixie

 

[AAABatteries]

My god this thread makes me feel old - not only do I not know 98% of the albums but I've never even heard of half of these artists.  

GET OFF MY LAWN!!!

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

A lesser known favorite from this decade, and maybe the one I've listened to the most, is The Graceless Age (2012) by John Murry. 

 

[Don Quixote]

Kendrick Lamar pick 'em between To Pimp a Butterfly and DAMN. I'm not really that into rap, so I have to give a lot of credit to anyone who can make a rap album that even I can appreciate its greatness.

Hamilton soundtrack would be in the running too.

You are missing some good stuff. Google the names and start enjoying

 

[D_House]

The Weeknd's House of Balloons... and from my admittedly limited view of modern music, also one of the most influential.

 

[John Bender]

Arcade Fire - The Suburbs

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Doubt it.  New music sucks 

 

[Bonzai]

Sturgill Simpson's second record and that first Fleet Foxes album are up there.

 

[the moops]

Doubt it.  New music sucks 

first time you posted this didn't get the response you were looking for, eh?

I'll never miss a chance to discuss one of my favorites like The Walkmen, that's for sure.  

Plenty of (good -- what am I saying?) great modern music; it just takes a bit of sorting and ordering the chaos in terms of distribution.  

 

[JB Breakfast Club]

This decade, maybe AM.

Nailed it

 

[skycriesmary]

Doubt it.  New music sucks 

Still digging Freebird, eh?

 

[skycriesmary]

PJ Harvey - Let England Shake

 

[AAABatteries]

This decade, maybe AM.

What is AM?

 

[rockaction]

What is AM?

I don't know, either.  

eta* Arctic Monkeys, maybe?  

 

[Tiger Fan]

War on Drugs

Lost in a Dream

 

[Northern Voice]

I don't know, either.  

eta* Arctic Monkeys, maybe?  

Yeah Arctic Monkeys album titled AM.

 

[Wild Young Billy]

Beck -Morning Phase 

 

[Jaysus]

Celebration Rock gets my vote too

 

[PIK95]

Arcade Fire - The Suburbs

Neon Bible qualifies and is pretty great.  The Vampire Weekends are a good call also.  The O.P. mentioned Spoon which is up there.

 

[rockaction]

Celebration Rock gets my vote too

I liked Post-Nothing just a bit more, and was quoting it back a page because I forgot the difference between the two when I was, um, under the weather.
