Favorite Album in the Last Ten Years?

I was thinking about this the other day while listening to Radiohead's "In Rainbows" and that I have not enjoyed a record more that this one in quite a while.
Coincidentally the album was released as a free digital download in October 2007, nearly ten years ago.
I can remember it like it was yesterday and would never have guessed "In Rainbows" is almost ten years old.
Five, maybe six years old but ten years?! Wow.
The album just works for me and includes some very strong songs ranging from up tempo to hauntingly melodic.
Radiohead "In Rainbows", my favorite album in the last ten years.

 

Probably either The White Stripes' Icky Thump or The Arctic Monkeys' AM.

 

Midlake - Trials of Van Occupanther.

 

Into the Wild (Sountrack - Eddie Vedder) followed closely by Ouroboros (Ray Lamontagne)

But I'd be remiss not to mention Sky Blue Sky (WILCO).

 

Wow, that's a hard question, so many records I love from the last 10 years, first thought was to pick the amazing Beauty Will Save the World from The Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus, only released in 2015 but listen to it all the time, so many words written around here about it.

But looking back over the years, back to 2007, there's the Sojourner pine box from Magnolia Electric Co, and that includes both Nashville Moon and Black Ram, two of my favorite albums, either could be a pick here, but both together... has to be Sojourner.

You see I nailed my guilt to the back of my eyes
So I see it now before the sun...

Nashville Moon by Magnolia Electric Co

 

Beatles white album 2009 remaster!

 

1. Waterboys An Appointment With Mr. Yeats
2. Queens of the Stone Age ...Like Clockwork

 

I really like that one too!

 

Great album but I have been disappointed with the follow ups.

 

Though I'm not necessarily a massive Primal Scream fan--their output has always been a bit uneven for me--I really loved More Light, a sprawling, ambitious opus that seems to capture the dark, conflicted spirit of the times while also reaching for the light. A rare double album without a dud track, it really takes you on a journey.

 

Dare I say....
ccc-ill chemist's "Cracked Pepper"!
and, the best part.... it's FREE!
Cracked Pepper

 

"Valtari" by Sigur Ros

 

Sunn O))) - Monoliths & Dimensions

 

agreed. hard to live up to that one. i still like them though (king of limbs, moon shaped pool).

 

Without a doubt, it's...

Agnes Obel - Philharmonics

 

Lots of very good releases the last ten years by new artists.

The best was released approx. a year ago

Durand Jones and the Indications

Another fave is Sturgill Simpson "Metamodern Sounds in Country Music"

 

"The Mountain Moves" by Treetop Flyers. This 2014 debut album is a great guitar album.

 

Charles Bobuck - Bobuck Plays the Residents
Renaldo & The Loaf - Gurdy Hurdling
The Del Moroccos - Blue Black Hair
Fatboy - Overdrive, Love Creole, pretty much everything...
Sleater-Kinney - No Cities to Love
Nick Cave - Push the Sky Away / Skeleton Tree
Thee Tsunamis - Saturday Night Sweetheart
Throbbing Gristle - Part Two - The Endless Not
Chris & Cosey - X-TG, Carter Tutti Void, etc. etc. Career best work.
Coil - Backwards/New Backwards/Ape of Naples, etc.
Captain Beefhart - Bat Chain Puller (Original)
The Cleopatras - Things Get Better
Bill Nelson - Golden Melodies/Mazda Kaleidoscope, too many others to mention...
Grinderman - Everything, but especially that Heathen Child remix with Mr. Fripp.
King Crimson - various incredible recent live recordings.
Cyclobe - Wounded Galaxies / Sulphur Tarot Garden
Nurse with Wound - Bacteria Magnet/Huffin' Rag Blues
Cobra Killer - Uppers & Downers
Brian Eno - Drums between the Bells

I give up. There are just toooooo many....

 

In Rainbows
Black Messiah
To Pimp A Butterfly

Please don't make me choose between them

All Time Low-Nothing Personal
We The Kings- Self Titled

Ok, I missed the cut-off by a couple years. Still a favorite.

 

Porcupine Tree - Fear Of A Blank Planet (2007)
John Mellencamp - Life, Death, Love And Freedom (2008)
Katatonia - Night Is The New Day (2009)

Probably In Rainbows for me as well

 

Monomania, released in 2013, by Deerhunter is a masterpiece.
