It's DIS Poll time! ... Your Albums of the Decade please

Excellent call, but for me the debut is even greater. Can’t believe I didn’t think of it. Brilliant albums by female singer songwriters have been a feature of this decade but that record is arguably the best.

How likely is a top 3 of MBDTF, TPAB and Blonde?

I don’t think it’ll do as well as the other two. I personally prefer channel orange

@mods perhaps lock this thread? Wouldn’t like people to be putting their lists in here thinking they are part of a wider poll (which is now going to be delayed until the new year). There’s the other thread that does the job until then:

Sneaking this in here for posterity in that case before the thread gets locked down :+1:

  1. Platform - Holly Herndon
  2. Trans Love Energies - Death In Vegas
  3. Garden Of Delete - Oneohtrix Point Never
  4. The Animal Spirits - James Holden & The Animal Spirits

I like your list!

Wow, i didn’t expect to see ‘Trans Love Energies’ in anyone’s list.

Not too big a fan of the album but ‘Your Loft My Acid’ is defo one of my tracks of the decade.

:+1:

Maybe a time and place album a bit - it came out just before I moved to Berlin and when I had finally got a phone that could store music so I absolutely rinsed it while watching summer turn into autumn. That said, I still think it’s a great rangey album - not a bad track across both discs of the special edition :+1:

I’ve no problem with taking this on now if there is a demand. But there was an albums of the century poll done via the social board recently (perhaps someone could provide a link) which probably makes this exercise superfluous given the decade list would simply be a subset of that. Not that people shouldn’t post lists and discuss here - just on the understanding that the results won’t be collated.

This has been difficult. Funny how some releases from the same year seem like they came out far earlier than others, Possibly to do with how much you’ve returned to them. First time I heard it I was adamant that the monitor would be the album of the decade and so it remains!
