These Are the Best Albums of the Decade

Parquet Courts- Wide Awake!

Wide Awake! is one of the greatest albums to come out of New York, as opposed to just being one of the best albums of the decade. Parquet Courts highlight their deepest influences, stemming from modern rock and punk, and dipping into pop and dance all while maintaining an aggressive and unique feel. Tracks like Wide Awake and Freebird II show how far this band has come from their original strictly post-punk sensibilities. Please do not sleep on this band, they’re worth giving a serious look into.
