Last week Entertainment Weekly named their Top 10 Albums of the Decade, and atop the list was Kanye West’s College Dropout. I specifically remember putting this album in my car stereo the day it came out, and right as I pulled out of my parking garage “We Don’t Care” started … and I was hooked. Not many songs catch me the first time I hear them, but this one surely did. It was the first Kanye song I ever heard, and to this day, still my favorite.
Here’s the full list…
10 Cat Power - You Are Free (2003)
09 Justin Timberlake - FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006)
08 Beyoncé - I Am… Sasha Fierce (2008)
07 The Arcade Fire - Funeral (2004)
06 The Dixie Chicks - Home (2002)
05 Bob Dylan - Love And Theft (2001)
