In absolutely no order, just the first that comes to mind that I adore so much already. Get doing!
01: Danny Brown – Ain't It Funny
This song sounds like I'm going fucking mad. For good fucking reason too, from the deeply traumatized lyrics to the absolutely chaotic and bombastic instrumental, this song is going to stand the test of time as my favourite rap song of the 2010s.

02: chris††† – falling
Very few chris††† songs come close to being as noisy, glitchy and downright tortured as this one minute was. It's a very short track, but in its brevity, you have everything thrown at you as you descend in an absolutely chaotic pit of internet ruins.

03: hyphyskazerbox – When
You're gonna hear a lot of hyphyskazerbox on this thread. Luckily, it's 3 per artist and 1 per album, so with that in mind, please indulge yourself into some of the most haunting, chilling and ambient techno tunes I have ever heard, very underrated too!

04: §E▲ – Broken Glass
Then again, that same artist has multiple aliases HAHAHAHAHAA!! >:D But yeah, the dude is fucking eccentric and versatile as fuck. This song in particular is definitely one of his most personal & noisiest deep cuts to date and I can't recommend it enough.

05: Daughters – Less Sex
Yeah I think this song is absolutely perfect. A lot of repetition and steady pace makes this one of the most compelling tunes I've ever heard in my life and that's before you get into the lyrics deep-diving into the downfalls of compulsion and addiction.

06: HMLTD – Nobody Stays in Love
So many of y'all are sleeping on this album hard and I don't get it. Especially on a diverse album that has this track on it, which is one of the most soulful art pop tunes I've ever heard in recent memory, topped with the perfect lyrical topics.

07: Björk – Jóga
Speaking of soulful art pop tunes, let's talk about a classic example. This album had to take about a year to click with me, but Jóga was undeniably my favourite track from the first time I heard it onwards and it holds up spectacularly well too. It's brilliant.

08: George Clanton - Make it Forever
From one pop song to another, across the flood of love, this modern synthpop blast is an absolutely psychedelic wash of love, in the most mind-blowing and ear-grabbing way possible. I absolutely adore each and every time this song here drops.

09: Car Seat Headrest – Bodys (2018)
I wanna yell the chorus out loud with Will Toledo right now as I am typing this. This is one of the most thrilling and cathartic indie rock experiences ever written and Toledo's riff game is just immaculate. It might just be a modern classic.

10: Everything Everything – Distant Past
Get to Heaven is the cream of the crop for 2010s pop albums and its lead single is just perfect. A wonderful fusion of EDM progressions with rock instrumentation, unique verses and a beautifully strange but accessible delivery throughout.

11: The Dismemberment Plan – You Are Invited
From one colourful, electronic-tinged indie rock record to another, if I was invited to do anything I want, I would still be anxious about doing just that. This track portrays that perfectly, plus it has a really heartfelt ending too!

12: Blur – Coffee & TV
Probably one of my oldest favourites, Coffee & TV is probably the very reason why I've loved noise in my music since I was a kid. Blur is just too good & even though I don't love this album quite as much as others do, this track is still one of their best.

13: HCMJ – Ugly
When James Webster isn't killing it as one of the most forward-thinking producers in the vaporwave scene with Tech & Keith, he is making some damn good electronic influenced shoegaze(?) records. This song is soft & seemingly peaceful but the subtleties are cruel.

14: Massive Attack – Teardrop
Speaking of electronic influenced rock, how about some rock influenced electronic? Mezzanine! Probably my favourite album of the 90s so far, it is packed throughout with compelling tracks & Teardrop is easily the most beautiful piece on that record.

15: Kylie Minogue – Confide in Me
While we're on the topic of trip hop, why not? Why the hell not? Australian pop icon experiments with trip hop and succeeds immensely even though it kicks off what most regard to be a subpar album. She really shines when she tries something new.

16: Radiohead – Everything in its Right Place
While yes I don't love Radiohead nearly as much as literally everybody else on the face of this planet, it's still no surprise that they would have at least a few songs that I adore, the most immediate case being this perfect opener.

17: 아버지 – voices
chris†††'s ambient alias that I absolutely want to hear more of is a plunderphonic project with minimalist editing and that leads to reflection being one of the most alluring albums of 2017 with the song voices beginning the light at the end of the tunnel.

18: 2814 – 真実の恋 [True Love]
I'm so glad that I finally came around to this album once I was fresh out of exploring musical regions outside of the vaporwave scene. When this specific track came on, I was washed with bliss and euphoria throughout. Guaranteed vaporwave classic.

19: death's dynamic shroud – BAE
Close race between this and CONTROL GLANCE, but this song is excellent. The most creative vaporwave out there, consists of multiple modern samples mixed and looped together seamlessly, the penultimate track culminating into such a fireworks drop!

20: The Postal Service – Such Great Heights
fucking, The cute little synth beep melodies make me wanna cry, it so beautiful. Indietronica perfection, I cannot recommend this song enough, it's so precious and I cannot get enough of it every time. Give Up is a brilliant album too.

21: Shugo Tokumaru – Such a Color
An undiscovered gem that has since been revived as a popular lo-fi hip hop sample, this contemporary folk tune is among the most beautiful and blissful songs I have ever listened to. Y'all sleeping on this album too. Shoutout to @ NewDawnFadezz.

22: Nick Drake – Things Behind the Sun
Early in the thread I decided to do this thread transitioning from one sound to another, which meant getting into one of my favourite musicians of all time wasn't easy, but can I just say that this man was perfect and gone too soon? Thanks.
