Favorite Albums of the Decade: #100-51

Disclaimers:

-These are my favorite albums released from 2010-2019. I agonized over whether or not to distinguish between LPs, EPs, soundtracks, etc., but ultimately I just decided to group them all together. They're all music.

-Ranking is a fool's errand, and how I feel about these albums will definitely change, likely the minute this is posted. Don't take the minutia of ranking too seriously. I probably don't see much of a difference between, let's say, #85 and #68, but I probably do like #54 a good bit more than #88 or so.

-Obviously this only includes albums I've listened to, so it's heavily skewed to my own music taste from the ages of 16-26. There's a lot I haven't listened, even within my own genres of choice, but especially outside of it. The vast majority of this list is indie rock/folk/pop, so apologizes for everyone interested in everything outside that narrow field.

-Part 2 of this post will contain a bit more detail about each album in the Top 50s, and it's coming soon.
