Discussion: 2010 - 2014: Your Top Ten Albums

Ace Reject

Only one album per artist. Try to make it at least credible!

Me … I Am Mariah … The Elusive Chanteuse (Mariah Carey)
Let England Shake (PJ Harvey)
Kaputt (Destroyer)
Speak Now (Taylor Swift)
Body Talk (Robyn)
Run The Jewels 2 (Run The Jewels)
Beyoncé (Beyoncé)
Cape Dory (Tennis)
The Idler Wheel … (Fiona Apple)
Avalanche (Quadron)

Your turn!

Royal Culture

Aatthew

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West
The Pinkprint by Nicki Minaj
BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
channel ORANGE by Frank Ocean
1000 Forms of Fear by Sia
The Electric Lady by Janelle Monáe
Salute by Little Mix
Speak Now by Taylor Swift
Unorthodox Jukebox by Bruno Mars
Our Version of Events by Emeli Sandé

In no real order. There's so many other albums (esp. by those same artists) that definitely could knock each other out.

Rih, Katy, Marina, Drake, Adele, and Lana have put out some great ass albums too, but I went with the albums that I have higher up in my year by year rankings (which are still rough drafts) and also tried to diversify it a bit. Not too much tho bc clearly I gravitate towards more mainstream artists.

Bounce

Born This Way (Lady Gaga)
Body Music (AlunaGeorge)
FROOT (Marina & The Diamonds)
Red (Taylor Swift)
Beyoncé (Beyoncé)
The Truth About Love (P!nk)
Bangerz (Miley Cyrus)
Pure Heroine (Lorde)
Queen of the Clouds (Tove Lo)
Who You Are (Jessie J)
