NME’s Greatest Albums of The Decade: The 2010s

 Αν και ως γνωστό η δεκαετία τελειώνει στο δέκα και όχι στο εννέα.

Τα τελευταία χρόνια και αντίστοιχα δεκαετίες, κάποιοι βιάζονται και βγάζουν λίστες μια χρονιά πιο νωρίς. Πιστό λοιπόν το NME σε αυτήν την βιασύνη-λίγο ασχετοσύνη το λες, έβγαλε τα καλύτερα  

TOP 100 ALBUM της δεκαετίας που διανύουμε και που θα τελειώσει στις 31 Δεκεμβρίου.

Όπως πάντα ο καθένας το βλέπει από την δικιά του οπτική γωνία.

Για μένα τα μεγάλα λάθη :

Parquet Courts, ‘Wide Awake!’ στο 51 είναι λίγο χαμηλά.!!!

Καλή η Lana del Ray αλλά όχι και τρία Άλμπουμ μέσα στα 100 καλύτερα. Το ίδιο ισχύει και για τον Kedrick Lamar, και Kanye West και τους 1975 ….

Επίσης να σημειώσουμε τις απουσίες των Courtney Barnett , Jungle, Decemberists, Kate Tempest, ο Andrew   Bird , to name but a few….

Και κυρίως που είναι το El Camino των Black Keys,

 

 Το Rome των Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi, 

 

το Pretty Years των Cymbals Eat Guitars, το The ArchAndroid της Janelle Monáe.

Και τέλος δε μπορεί το Random Access Memories των Daft Punk  να είναι στη θέση 23 και όχι πάντως κάτω από τυχάρπαστους καλλιτέχνες και διάττοντες ποπ αστέρες και όχι μέσα στην πρώτη τριάδα το λιγότερο..

Αλλά φυσικά μιλάμε για το NME που στο δύσκολο 1987 δε τόλμησε να βάλει  το Αμερικάνικο Joshua tree ούτε στα πέντε πρώτα Άλμπουμ της χρονιάς!!!
