I had been thinking about making one for a little bit now, but would always get caught up in something else and forget it be in the middle of work and unable to post. I'm gonna try to pull together a list in the next day or so to put on here.

LV is the only person who’d have Bad Bhabie, Dillinger Escape Plan and Nick Cave in the same list.

Minus tame impala releases, like clockwork, western stars, and moe no guts no glory.. the best 2010s album probably wouldn't crack the top 50 70s or 90s albums lists

Like I said, off the top of my head.

But also, and I know you're just kidding around and busting my chops, but I never said it was the best album ever. I don't even have it as the best album of the year. :lol:

But I should probably add it to the list. It's definitely in the top 50 of the decade. No question.
