LRH's Best Albums of the Decade
A decade is a long time. Sometimes it can be hard to grapple with such large swaths of your life, and so we use music to anchor our memories. The albums we love the most serve as audio touchstones, tangible in a way that calendar dates just aren't. When did you graduate? When did your mom get sick? When did you move into the new house? When did you go through that break up? The answers are all albums.
We dug through the last ten years and each picked 5 albums that served as our soundtracks for that time. Plus some honourable mentions, 'cause damn - 5 albums across 10 years? Tooooo hard bud.
