OP is a good shout Brian, one of my favourite albums of recent years too. I get why his voice annoys people too, but it works for me, even if I can hear why people find it a bit ridiculous in places. And it does sails quite close to being a bit Mumford and Sons in places, but again it never quite tips over for me. A great mix of melody and art-rock experimentalism - a bit like Young Father's 'White Men Are Black Men Too'.
In fact, that's probably one of my other favourite albums of the decade. Love this video.

Yep, I also would have Awesome Wave in my top 10 of the decade. I think ‘distinctive’ is the word I’d use for his voice, but then I think thats part of their appeal.
Good shout earlier for both Blond and Channel Orange by Frank Ocean, they would definitely both make my top 10 too.
Like Joanna Newsome but my personal choice (in a similar vein) would be Julia Holter’s 2015 album ‘To Have You in My Wilderness’
Think I would want a John Grant album in there but hard to decide which one as there’s no obvious one for me. Probably Pale Green Ghosts but I’ll have changed my mind by tomorrow.
Really good thread about a decade I probably pay attention to the least, but a few rap / hip-hop ones off the top of my head... I'll do another genre maybe if I have time.
Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid, M.A.A.D City
Probably the best hip-hop album of recent times and feels really seminal. His newer stuff is a bit too high brow for my taste but this one absolutely smacks it.
Run the Jewels - RTJ 2
From the moment I heard them I was hooked and they've since become probably my favourite hip-hop/rap group of all time. Although Good Kid is likely the best hip-hop album, this one is my favourite. All 3 official RTJ albums are superb but for me the 2nd one is my favourite. If you haven't checked them out, you really should.
Brockhampton - Saturation
Original, fun, prolific and diverse, Brockhampton are so eclectic it's hard to love everything they do but this album for me is their best. Some songs are superb and they were so prolific with their creation of albums, making and releasing about 4 in one year I think.
Kaytranada - 99.9%
Some are collabs and some are just his beats but I have listened to this start to finish on so many commutes and during work projects. I love it.

Great thread but tough for me because a lot of my faves are from a while back.
However, I have a couple to nominate.
The first is some Swedish psychedelia which I stumbled across by accident. The tunes are so catchy, but good luck understanding what they are singing about (it's in Swedish).
The second is an EP, if that is allowed, The Parallax Method's "Squid" EP. It's mostly instrumental guitar music but my word, there are a double album's worth of idea in every track (sample track below). It's great playing but there are plenty of tunes in there. It's moderately heavy but not too scarey.
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

Trawling through a list of albums over the last ten for stuff I may have missed I found this little gem. I had never heard of them before but it is definitely a style of music I like and will be investigating their music more.
The grass is always greener.

Spoiler - there isn't any.
They released one corking album and split up. As it should be

i don't get to hear too much new music anymore, alas, but 'failed states', by the mighty and righteous Propaghandi just builds and builds it's melody and fury-
And 'winter', by New Model Army, is soulful, melancholy, angry and wonderful

The frontman went on to form a new band 'Lost Under Heaven' which seemed to go under the radar a little - similar sound to Wu Lyf but not as good.
Top 10 for me... Kendrick Lamar - TPAB Run The Jewels - RTJ2 Girls - Father Son and Holy Ghost Diiv - Oshin Kanye West - Yeezus Smith Westerns - Dye it Blonde Grimes - Visions Fear of Men - Loom Kurt Vile - Wakin on a Pretty Daze Loyle Carner - Yesterday's Gone
