The 10 Best Albums and Songs of the Past Decade

If I asked you right now to come up with your ten favorite albums from the past ten years, I bet it would take you a long time to come up with the perfect list. It would probably take you even longer to come up with your ten favorite songs of the past decade! There are just too many to choose from.

Time just put out a series of lists outlining the best songs, albums, TV shows, and movies from the past ten years, and it's very interesting to see what their choices are. I can't say I really agree with all of their selections (I've never even heard of some of them), but hey, we all have our own opinions. Honestly, it's really difficult to boil down the last ten years into just ten items on a list.

According to Time, the ten best albums of the decade (in alphabetical order) are:

Ozuna - Aura (2018)
Beauty Pill - Beauty Pill Describes Things As They Are (2015)
Carly Rae Jepsen - E•MO•TION (2015)
Kendrick Lamar - DAMN. (2017)
Fiona Apple - The Idler Wheel… (2012)
Miguel - Kaleidoscope Dream (2012)
Beyoncé - Lemonade (2016)
Solange - A Seat At the Table (2016)
Miranda Lambert - The Weight of These Wings (2016)
Leonard Cohen - You Want It Darker (2016)

Here are the ten best songs of the decade:

Paramore - “Ain’t It Fun” (2013)
Taylor Swift - “All Too Well” (2012)
Robyn - “Dancing on My Own” (2010)
Dierks Bentley - “Drunk On a Plane” (2014)
Sky Ferreira - “Everything Is Embarrassing” (2012)
Hospitality - “I Miss Your Bones” (2013)
Luke James - “I Want You” (2012)
Lil Nas X - “Old Town Road” (2019)
Adele - “Rolling In the Deep” (2010)
Khalid - “Young Dumb & Broke” (2017)

It was tough, but I tried to come up with my own list of my favorite albums since 2010 (I didn't even attempt to do songs). I simply chose albums that I continue to listen to over and over again and NEVER get sick of. Here are my choices:
