Favorite Albums of the 2020s

Posted by The Seaward on 7/12/26 at 10:29 pm
I think this has been a good decade of music with tons of albums I have enjoyed, but three albums standout above all as absolute stone cold classics:

Ryan Davis and the Roadhouse Band- New Threats from the Soul
Hum- Inlet
Black Country, New Road- Ants From Up There

Anyone else have some standouts?

This is probably my favorite song of the year. Singer songwriter from New Orleans. Would recommend any MJ Lenderman fans check it out. MJ Lenderman actually plays on this track.

No one album really stands out as a clear cut favorite (like Ryan Davis and the Roadhouse Band was last year), but if I had to pick one it would probably be:

Kevin Morby- Little Wide Open

A few others I liked:

Styrofoam Winos- Any River
Joyce Manor- I Used to Go to this Bar
Thomas Dollbaum- Birds of Paradise
Frog- Frog for Sale
Bill Callahan- My Days of 58
Friko- Something Worth Waiting For
Ratboys- Singin to an Empty Chair

I’m a fan. My two favorite albums of theirs are Dulling the Horns and Yolk in the Fur.

The band they most remind me of is The War on Drugs. Similar heartland sound.

I think this at the very least better than their last two albums. Enjoying it for the most part.

Good Morning Captain is possibly the most haunting song I have ever heard and in the running for best album closers ever.

Built to Spill- Perfect From Now On

The worst song on Perfect From Now On is better than the worst song on any other album I’ve ever heard.

Defending Manfred isn’t really popular, but I think a lot of really good, popular changes have happened on his watch (pitch clock most important)

but just think the songs are better overall on Doolittle


I would agree with that, as much as I do love Surfer Rosa.

Pixies Come on Pilgrim (technically an EP, but it's 8 songs) Surfer Rosa Doolittle


Almost posted this, but wasn’t sure if Come On Pilgram counted and kind of feel that both Surfer Rosa and Doolittle are the third level of the meme.

Almost posted Modest Mouse too but felt Lonesome Crowded West was too good to fit.

The War on Drugs

Wagonwheel Drugs
Slave Ambient
Lost in the Dream

That meme really does exactly describe their trajectory
