1. Bon Iver – For Emma Forever Ago
This album changed my life and the way I view music. Bon Iver’s chilling lyrics are the result of absolute isolation or “hibernation” in a Wisconsin cabin and from that came utter brilliance.
2. Kid A and In Rainbows – Radiohead
Radiohead’s two major releases during this decade changed the way that music is released and sounds in dynamic ways.
3. Sufjan Steven – Sufjan Stevens invites you to: Come on feel the Illinoise
Other than absolutely loving the album because I am from Chicago. This record sounds absolutely gorgeous at every point. It is a beautiful love song, but also a realistic portrayal of the issues at hand in a city and state and the song Chicago is one of my favorite escapist songs of all time. Prior to taking off and landing in Chicago, I always play this song.
4. Arcade Fire – Funeral
Arcade Fire is amazing and this album proves why. The album discusses the changes or funerals that occur in life from disappearing to literally dieing. Life is complex and Funeral urges us to realized that.
5. Wilco – Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
The album depicts post 9/11 life and the issues in the music industry. The motifs strike home with everyone and seem to resound as pure art.
6. Death Cab for Cutie – Transatlanticism and Plans
Death Cab for Cutie was the first band I every listened to. I started listening at a period in my life when I was searching for something more in music. I wanted to see the books and philosophies I was thinking about in song and in these albums I found just that. So many bus rides were filled with Plans.
7. Kanye West – The College Dropout and Graduation
Kanye produced four amazing albums during the decade and change the face of music with his very vocal opinions and musical sylings. enough said.
8. Sigur Ros – Med ud i eryrum id spilum endalaust
Pure beauty in song.
9. Beck – Sea Change and the Information
He revealed himself to his listeners and discussed modern issues of alienation in a brand new way.
10. Vampire Weekend – Vampire Weekend
This album is just plain fun to listen to. They brought Afro-pop to America and make being yourself in an eclectic way cool again. I can’t wait for the next album.
