What are the most important recordings of the decade?
NPR Music has published its list of the 50 most important recordings of the decade, and we can’t decide which is more interesting – the list itself, or the nearly 200 comments from readers that follows it.
Actually, both are required reading and the robust conversation in the comments may provoke you to add one of your own.
Or you might be provoked by the official list, which includes Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, John Adams, The Bad Plus, Kanye West and The White Stripes… and probably doesn’t include a fair number of recordings that you would put on your top 50 list.
NPR Music has even followed up with another 8 recordings that arguably belong on the list but aren’t.
I put this list through the paces over the holiday, adding a few albums to my collection in the process. I bet you will, too.
