Your top 10 albums of the decade so far

I'm not even sure if this forum is still that active, still, I'm interested to see what you guys think. With (almost) half the decade behind us, what do you think are the ten best albums up until now?

Okay, no need to be shy, I'll post first.

First off, I have to say, this has been a pretty disappointing decade for me, when it comes to albums. There's even a hiphop album on my list, which is probably the first time a hiphop album has made it onto a best albums list I've made. Maybe it has to do with the current music culture which favours listening to separate tracks over listening to full albums? Who knows, here's my list:

1. The Tallest Man on Earth - The Wild Hunt
2. Queens of the Stone Age - ...Like Clockwork
3. Mark Lanegan - Blues Funeral
4. Kurt Vile - Smoke Ring for My Halo
5. LCD Soundsystem - This is Happening
6. The National - High Violet
7. Inspectah Deck, 7L & Esoteric - Czarface
8. Tinariwen - Emmaar
9. The War on Drugs - Lost in the Dream
10. Tame Impala - Innerspeaker

Tame Impala are kind of the shit. Ty Segall has a few albums that are kicking a few different types of shit, and then there's White Lung, whilst all their albums sound pretty much the same they still stay pretty interesting and exhilarating

I'm not ready to commit to a list, yet, but all six new Guided by Voices' albums are pretty good. Thee Oh Sees have done some pretty nice stuff. Half of the stuff the Pixies have released has been good (not so much the other half, sadly). I'll get back to you on this.
