The 2010s are coming to a close and everyone is starting to make lists of their top albums, so I thought why not create our own Xltronic Top Albums of the 2010s list? Me and a few other members have formed a committee and worked out some simple rules.
***
[1] All Xltronic members and non-members are eligible to vote.
[1a] Votes may be submitted in this thread or via my email address.
[2] A "vote" consists of a list of albums, each with a corresponding point value.
[2a] The sum total of all points in a single vote may not exceed 100.
[2b] No single album in a vote my be assigned more than 20 points.
[2c] There is no lower limit to the number of points an album may be assigned.
[2d] There is no limit to the number of albums that may be included in a vote, as long as the point total is 100 or less.
[2e] To make voting accessible to all people, we have prepared a number of optional "Top 10" ranking systems you may use.
[2e-i] The "flat" or "equitable" ranking system (Type-I): All albums are assigned an equal number of points. This is a great system to use if you would prefer to pick your favorite album from each year of the decade. Point totals are as follows:
1 - 10 2 - 10 3 - 10 4 - 10 5 - 10 6 - 10 7 - 10 8 - 10 9 - 10 10 - 10
[2e-ii] The "weighted" or "top-heavy" ranking system (Type-II): The top album receives a high point score, which decreases for each subsequent album. Point totals are as follows:
1 - 18.18 2 - 16.36 3 - 14.55 4 - 12.73 5 - 10.91 6 - 9.09 7 - 7.27 8 - 5.45 9 - 3.64 10 - 1.82
[2e-iii] The "less-weighted" ranking system (Type-III): A more equitable version of the weighted system. Point totals are as follows:
1 - 12.90 2 - 12,26 3 - 11.61 4 - 10.97 5 - 10.32 6 - 9.68 7 - 9.03 8 - 8.39 9 - 7.74 10 - 7.10

[2f] If you choose to use an optional "Top 10" preset ranking system, please specify which one you are using (Type-I, Type-II, Type-III) in your vote or your vote may not be counted.
[3] The final list of Xltronic's Top Albums of the 2010s will be determined by the number of points each album was awarded, with the album receiving the most points being Xltronic's "Top Album of the 2010s".
[4] In the interest of gender equality, all albums by women or non-binary folks, bands fronted by women or non-binary folks, or bands consisting of at least 50% women or non-binary folks will be have an additional point multiplier of (100/77 = 1.2987) applied. This number is derived from the fact women earn 77 cents for every dollar a man earns. These calculations will be done by the committee after you have submitted your vote.
[5] Any vote submitted by a woman or non-binary voter will have an additional point multiplier of (100/77 = 1.2987) applied to the point totals for all albums. (See section [4].)
[5a] In effect, this means that a vote using the maximum 100 points submitted by a woman or non-binary person consisting only of women and non-binary artists will have an effective point total of 168.66 points.
[6] An album is not required to have been released between the years of 2010 and 2019 to be eligible for inclusion. For example, an album released in 1975 that was especially meaningful to you during the years of 2010 to 2019 is an equally valid selection.
[7] Albums by artists or bands that have expressed racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic, ableist, Islamophobic, anti-Semitic or otherwise bigoted views are not eligible for inclusion.
[8] Voting will remain open until January 31, 2020.
[9] An extension in the voting period may be granted for persons with disabilities.

Now let's all work together and make the best decade-end list on the Internet!

Section 7 is going to rule out a lot of Rap music, which might look a bit racist in itself...

Oh please. Here comes Roger to trot out that old canard about People of Color being more homophobic that whites. I guess we're supposed to believe you've never heard "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits—or as I like to call them, Dire Straights.

This was a fun exercise, to prowl through my folders and decide what the best of the teens is. I should make a mix based on this.
In no particular order:
Primitive World - White on White Azealia Banks - Broke With Expensive Taste Jako Maron - The Electro Maloya Experiments Of Jako Maron Not Waving - Animals Anthony Naples - Take Me With You Trash Daemon - Spiraling AP Musik (Aleksi Perala) - MU3 Frank Bretschneider - Lunik Satoshi & Makoto - CZ-5000 Sounds & Sequences Bass Clef - 111 angelic MIDI cascade Gábor Lázár - Unfold Lee Gamble - Mnestic Pressure M.E.S.H. - Hesaitix NHK'Koyxeи - Dance Classics I, II, III NHK yx Koyxen - Doom Steppy Reverb Sand Circles - Motor City Don't DJ - Musique Acephale Takecha - Deep Soundscapes Robert Lippok - Applied Autonomy Foodman - Ez Minzoku Novo Line - Movements Space Afrika - Somewhere Decent To Live Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest Autechre - Exai Angel Olsen - My Woman Barker - Debiasing
I'm forgetting lots of stuf, this is just what jumped out at me today.

Thank you, finallly someone with a serious list. I assume you want them all assigned equal point values (100/29 = 3.45)?

Sorry but John Maus isn't eligible for inclusion on our list, see section [7]. He's an unrepentant bigot who appeared on Sam Hyde's alt-right sketch "comedy" program Million Dollar Extreme Presents: World Peace and never apologized.

Wait, do you want additional points awarded to bands with women on top of the automatic 1.2987 multiplier for women and non-binary folks?
Also, this album "・・・・・・・・・ - CD" is ableist because it's unsearchable and can't be parsed by some folks who need electronic assistance and is therefore ineligible for inclusion on our list.

gender is a social construct so you have to give the multiplier to everyone

I've searched my heart, my hard-drive, my shelves and my "play count" and I've come up with this. I am just going for the flat Type-I ranking as time is short and I do have my business to run.
Scott Walker - The Drift (2006) Sleaford Mods - English Tapas (2018) John Shima - The Lonely Machine (2019) Map 165 - Of Adam Sleeping in the Lap of God (2018) S>>D - Co Intel Pro (2018) Biosphere - The Petrified Forest (2016) Shinichi Atobe - Butterfly Effect (2014) Autechre - NTS Session 3 (2018) Main - Ablation (2013) Have you ever heard music this good? - CNNR/WKMN (2019 Unreleased)
