Favorite Young Artists

Post by prosecutorgodot »

Time to give shine to newer artists.

Who are your favorite artists that have only been around for 10 years or less? (For simplicity, let's say since 2008.) Whether the date of "founding" is when they first started performing, or if it is when they release their first record, I leave to your discretion.



My top 25:
1 | Kendrick Lamar
2 | Death Grips
3 | Janelle Monae
4 | Kacey Musgraves
5 | Kero Kero Bonito
6 | Fleet Foxes
7 | Adele
8 | Carly Rae Jepsen
9 | Tame Impala
10 | Run the Jewels
11 | Frank Ocean
12 | Swans [new iteration]
13 | Haim
14 | Grimes
15 | A$AP Rocky
16 | Vampire Weekend
17 | Danny Brown
18 | Disclosure
19 | James Blake
20 | Lorde
21 | FKA twigs
22 | Lady Gaga
23 | Katy Perry
24 | Young the Giant
25 | Noname
