"Here it is: the ultimate guide to the 100 essential albums of the 2010s, picked, ranked and dissected by NME (New Musical Express) experts".
"As we prepare to say goodbye (and, possibly, good riddance) to another decade, Team NME have been busy revisiting some of the best music of the last 10 years, arguing over its longevity and merit and generally indulging in some lovely, lovely nostalgia.
As the guitar bands of the 2000s fell out of favour, all eyes on what was next. Right on cue, it was grime's time to shine. British rap has been the UK's biggest success story of the last 10 years; it's punk, it's angry and it's political, like the best music always is.
We debated and debated. And in the end, this is where we're at. You'll have your thoughts – you always do – but for us at NME, these are our absolute favourite albums of the '10s and I truly believe every album in our Top 10 is a work of art".
