Favorite Albums of the Decade

My son challenged me to come up with a list of my favorite albums from the past decade (2010-2019), so here is a list as it stands at this moment. I may have overlooked a couple of favorites that deserve to be here, so this list may undergo some renovation eventually. Also, it was a real tough decision between #1 and #2. Arcade Fire made one of the most brilliant concept albums in recent memory, but Bowie's swan song, which continues to move me every time I hear it, edged them out by a nose. Also, I seem to think that 2011 was the best year of the decade, because of the five albums I picked from that year, all of them ended up in the top 10 - it just shook out that way.
