Albums of the Decade

My Favourite Albums of the Decade

This took a lot of thought but was also a lot of fun. The only rule I had was only one album per artist (don’t ask me why but it seemed like a good idea at the time.) In no particular order….

There were too many albums I loved over the last 10 years, so have decided to do a shortlist of 50 odd and then pick my top 10 albums of the decade.
