[Fillup]

Covid era records feel like a distant echo from some bizarre fever dream.

[MadsusMythic]

Mr Morale & The Big Steppers, Melt My Eyez See Your Future and Imaginal Disk is also in the conversation of one of the best album of the 2020s so far

[inliminalspaces]

Nurture is so far and will remain timeless. I won't ever get over how something so beautiful exists

[across]

Biggest snubs for me:

Beth Gibbons - Lives Outgrown
Squid - O Monolith
Magdalena Bay - Imaginal Disk
The Koreatown Oddity - Little Dominique’s Nosebleed
Run the Jewels - RTJ4
Kara Jackson - Why Does The Earth Give Us People To Love?

[nate]

With the red black and pizza hut logo mustache, you could be a spokesperson!

[trashalgorithm]

De Todas Las Flores is truly mindblowing, a hug to the heart

[defnotisaiah]

desire i want to turn into you is one of my favorite projects this decade. also clairos charm but i know many people just thought it was okay

[micahhermiller]

3D Country not making the list is criminal

[FifteenMegabytes]

Everyone complaining about the lack of Imaginal Disk (while valid to do so) but I’m glad Nurture was listed here

[MrJacobeee]

Some snubs I think should have made it-
Phoebe Bridgers- Punisher
Alvvays- Blue Rev
Perfume Genius- Set My Heart On Fire Immediately
Adriannne Lenker- Songs
Fleet Foxes- Shore
Cindy Lee- Diamond Jubilee
Turnstile- Glow On

[A.I.Gaming]

Thanks for all the great recs and hard work over the years! ❤

[tylermason]

A killer finish! The Turning Wheel is most definitely my favorite album of the decade so far, and it's a strong contender for my all-time favorite album. I only ended up hearing it because of your channel, so I definitely want to give a huge thank you and commendation to your awesome material, and even moreover, to your passion for the art of music.

[SteepWriter]

I love videos like this. Hearing people gush about their favorite music is beautiful.

[p-ruthless]

Love the KA album mention on here more people need to realize the greatness KA had before he died

[nasanoir]

Dang, you just reminded me to go back and listen to Ants From Up There again. Thanks, anthony!!

[Aruarin]

SIMBI is the album of the decade so far for me. Generational hip hop epic opus

[StoreyedKansas]

Thanks for the secret hour long icedancer review! 7 years late but it’s the thought that counts!
