As a 23 year old, the last ten years have been hugely influential on me. This list is my pick of the albums that have meant the most to me over the decade. I see little point in attaching arbitrary rankings to what is already an entirely subjective list, so I’ve simply picked 18 albums and presented them in a random order. There are a huge number of albums that deserve an honourable mention, a whole load more that I’ve not listened to, and no doubt some controversial selections too, but this is the best of my decade.
Time will strip it away, a year and a day The Libertines
