And for the record, my lists are definitely subject to change. I go back and reconfigure and reconsider and tweak fairly often. For example, my favorite album of 2010 was definitely not My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy in 2010. I was still "on the fence" about Kanye (read: I'd bought into the personality assassination campaign that the media was spearheading (with plenty of help from Kanye himself)... I don't even remember what my original album of the year was for 2010, because since 2013 it's been MBDTF.
(Think it was actually My Father Will Guide me up a Rope to the Sky)
And in 2013 I fussed over shit a lot. Flaming Lips! No, Black Bug! No, Fuck Buttons! Nope, it's Yeezus after all. But it's not like I stop listening to these albums. In 2015 I listened to Amygdala by DJ Koze more than any new record. It was originally st #5 for 2013, I think. Now, I have to admit that there's a good chance it has inched into the top spot, but I will have to revisit Yeezus again to be certain.
It's a way to occupy my extremely scattered mind. If nobody wants to hear about it, or I hear that others are irritated by it, I won't talk about it here anymore. But in a thread made specifically for top 10 lists, I feel like it's appropriate.
