Amazon in the USA is offering its own choice of the best music of the decade so far: a top ten in each of 18 categories. This comes to fewer than 180 records, because some records are listed in more than one category.
I see that I own four of its chosen records:
- Charlie Haden's Nocturne (jazz): excellent
- Orchestra Baobab's Specialist in all styles (international): not bad, but I think their old albums are better
- Bebel Gilberto's Tanto tempo (international, Latin, and dance): overrated, but a few pleasant tracks
- Enya's A day without rain (new age): mediocre, but a few pleasant tracks
