Disco Stu 15,495 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 It's gonna get harder for me to have 10 albums on a list, let alone any honorable mentions, by the 2010s. I started paying much less attention to rock/pop music, even the indie rock that I had followed so closely in my teens and 20s, around that time. It's not that my thirst for discovering new/different music went away, I just stopped finding it in that space. Maybe I just don't care what artists younger than me have to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I continue to find rock music that speaks to me in the indie/punk spaces through around 2010-2012. I really do pinpoint the generational changeover to Gen Zers coming to the fore in that area as probably the cause. It is actually quite common for me to be like "oh yeah I really liked this band in 2008, I wonder what happened to them" and then google around and figure out all the members left music and got jobs as, like, website designers or whatever lol.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I've sometimes considered making a list of the best albums released in the 1980s by 60s pop/rock survivors (artists who got big in the 60s and survived in the business/life to still be putting out albums of new material in the 80s). I'm interested because so often 80s albums by these "legacy" acts were viewed as cringe or sad when compared to their 60s work. If I did make that list, Long Distance Voyager by The Moody Blues would definitely be somewhere on there. Genuinely great album!

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Completely infectious and joyful. I had forgotten just how much I loved this album until I revisited for making the 2007 list. The Octopus Project should've been so much bigger. They later actually wrote a couple of film scores for indie movies, most notably a Robert Pattinson Western called Damsel.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 1971 was such an insane year for Rod Stewart. He has three absolutely amazing classic rock records with the two Faces records and Every Picture Tells a Story.

I love the album, but as a whole, it's not at the level of his most brilliant work. There's a only a small handful of Bowie records I straight up dislike, and a few more I'm kind of indifferent to.
