This year’s list isn’t strictly my top albums (etc). A couple snuck in solely due to the fact I wrote so much about them. And one of my draft top 6 got crossed off because I barely wrote a sentence about it when I listened to it — surely it’s not important enough for the roundup!
Here’s a Spotify playlist of selected songs from these albums, along with some other songs.

Youtube playlist, minus the wowgokoro song because it’s not on Youtube.
Some of my favourite music videos of the 2010s. I’m sure many of these have appeared on previous music video lists of mine.

Recently I was listening to Stars’ album Set Yourself On Fire and I remembered: oh, this is why I fell in love with music, listening to the strings and brass of “Your Ex-Lover Is Dead” resonate sadness and jubilance. It’s not about living it up at shows, it’s not about finding new bands; it’s about how one song can make you feel like you’re dying and reborn again.
