What will be left of these Ten musical years? If you want, add something yourself:
The decade of the modern-trap invasion; Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West at their most productive; that ancient revival of Father John Misty and Sufjan Stevens; the epic jazz of Kamasi Washington; the soul and neo R&B of Kiwanuka, D'Angelo, Anderson Paak, Frank Ocean, Janelle Monáe; the neo-psychedelia with the microtonal banana of King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard; the gems discovered on Bandcamp; the kraut-psych-Japanese of Guruguru Brain; Nick Cave at the highest levels, the painful departures (Bowie, Cohen, Alan Vega of Suicide and many others); the Sacred Bones crew with David Lynch at the helm; vaporwave; "R.A.M" by Daft Punk; those two English boors, the Sleaford Mods, so much more and the splendid title of an album by Gnod that would have delighted Luigi Nono: "Just Say No To The Psycho Right-Wing Capitalist Fascist Industrial Death Machine".
