Classic Albums of the 2010s

Solange and Anohni would be nice but kinda wishful thinking imo. Brockhampton's a shoe-in but it'll be interesting to see how their image evolves as they grow noticeably more corporate.

Death Grips, Kamasi Washington (unfortunately) and Kendrick all come to mind for me. I also think that a new generation of listeners is going to recognize the current incarnation of Swans as a defining 2010s artist. Deafheaven and OPN could work their way into the mix too.

Maybe Beach House?

Probably a Vektor album.

I would love to say Clutch's Earth Rocker or Psychic Warfare, but I don't know if Clutch will ever be popular enough to reach classic status among many music fans unfortunately.

Cleric - Regressions
Grimes - Art Angels
Swans

Probably The Midnight and their ilk from the synthwave scene. GUNSHIP's album last year was a massive sensation on Reddit too.

Agree with much of what's been said to this point, would also like to throw fleet foxes, the national and lorde into the conversation. Tons of mainstream/critical appeal while being liked or at least tolerated by 'real music fans' as well

Mac Demarco is so fucking boring, so yeah, 2 will probably be a classic.

I realize Ys is Joanna Newsom's crowning achievement but I feel like two albums that follow it will be considered classics of chamber folk.

I think that Hans Zimmer penetrated the public consciousness this decade.
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard
SOPHIE, if she releases some good followup material this year
Kanye's releases this year will be considered classics
Matana Roberts the jazz goddess will definitely be a genre legend
Flying Lotus
BADBADNOTGOOD
