monstercat's best of 2013 album (okok ik what you're thinking but that album changed the game for me)

i'll keep updating this as i think

illenium's my fav artist but his songs are hit or miss for me. they're not all contained in an album. and ascend is good but too poppy; not entirely my jam
the phoenix is my favorite song of all time. it's from 2014. i wanted a phoenix tattoo because of that song but now that illenium's more mainstream that sounds tacky, haha.

Re: Best albums of the 2010s

anime

Re: Best albums of the 2010s

idk i literally stopped reading ur post after i read porter robinson so idk what u have to say but i bet its bad songs

Re: Best albums of the 2010s

Off the top of my head The Now Now (Gorillaz) and Unvarnished (Joan Jett) are 2 albums I got brand bloody new this decade and have listened to a metric asston. Well, those and all the Ninja Sex Party albums.

If I had my collection in front of me I'd likely think of at least a few more that I could recommend.

....but I do think I'm old enough that the stereotype of "old man can't dig newer music and is stuck in his youth" is starting to be a thing. I felt kinda down the other day and cheered myself up by listening to Ayu's Rainbow again and its like....dude that shit is 2007. But I still love it, and I'm content with that.

Re: Best albums of the 2010s

robertsona where you been at

stop hiding

u have always had good taste in music

Re: Best albums of the 2010s

also hard agree with bloom and halcyon digest

Re: Best albums of the 2010s

but porter robinson's great

im also unironically a zoomer

oh hey my # posts is my birth year now. YEE

Re: Best albums of the 2010s

Dude you don't even know, I listen to old Ayu and BoA so often to the point when I'm drunk I don't want to listen to anything else and everyone around me gets to be subjected to DON'T START NOW! THE FEELING

Re: Best albums of the 2010s

also, porter robinson and madeon are 100% cross generational, we got zoomers AND millennials into that shit

when madeon first started making music he wasn't even old enough to get into the club I saw him at he was like 14 lol, everyone who listened to him back then was older than he himself is
