I haven’t listened to some of these and a lot of them are kinda bad. What stands out for me is that Joni Mitchell didn’t win a Grammy for an album until 1996.

Ray of Light and Back to Black were greats wins. Future Nostalgia was pretty good even if it did have a couple of sub-par tracks.

Imo, “1989” and “The Fame Monster” are near perfect albums. Both are so well thought out and were flawlessly executed. Outstanding projects.

And I love “Sweetener” as well. However, as much as I think it’s highs can make up for it’s lows, the lows are really low.

I only ranked from 2010 onward, but “Back to Black” would have been up there with “1989” and “The Fame Monster”.

1. Taylor Swift – 1989

2. Lady Gaga – The Fame Monster

3. Billie Eilish – When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?

4. Dua Lipa – Future Nostalgia

5. Adele – 21

6. Ariana Grande – Sweetener

7. Adele – 25

8. Kelly Clarkson – Stronger

9. Bruno Mars – Unorthodox Jukebox

10. Sam Smith – In The Lonely Hour

11. The Black Eyed Peas – The END

12. Ed Sheeran – Divide
