Here is my list of the top 250 albums from the past decade. It's still slightly tentative, simply for the fact that this list was generated by compiling many other lists that I found on the internet, and though I did try to make sure they were of a genre that I felt I wouldn't hate, I'm not 100% sure of how legitimate these albums belong on this list. And I must stress this: These albums are not listened in order of importance; they are listed in order of how they were written on my list, meaning they are completely random and do not reflect preference. The numbers are meant only to show that there are indeed 250 albums.
