The blog version of this website has now been a thing for over 10 years, and we had a plan to do a "best tracks since this blog started" special due for launch last Summer. This never happened, but we've been looking forward to doing both a "decade" list and a "10 year anniversary" playlist. And we actually have time, so now is when it shall happen. Let's get this out of our system. Time to move on and eventually not do the blog anymore.

The tracks list is coming.

In the meantime, here are our "best records of the 2010s." We usually do 60 or 61 or 62 of these for each year, and so that's what we did here.
