Not a very original I know, but my creativity is being used elsewhere.
Aw shit this is just too difficult. I could never fully realize a "Best of the decade" album, here is a list of ones I think were reallllllly fucking good in the past ten or so years. I linked to a youtube video of a song from each album. Not for everybody though, I'm sure.

9. The National- High Violet "
A. High Violet came out in 2010. B. Boxer is a better album.

K so haters gonna hate but i loved Infinity on High by Fall Out Boy when that was released, also Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand was rather epic. Discovery by Daft Punk also good. This may not be fair tho seeing as for the first half of this decade i really wasnt into music at all.

Loved me some Infinity, but it isn't my favorite FOB album. Probably Take This To Your Grave for me.

One of the best albums I've heard recently is the new Kanye album, it'd certainly make my list. Not posting the explicit cover 'cause of site rules and such.
@FancySoapsMan: hmmm I do adore YFIP (agonized over buying that on vinyl last week, ended up going with forgiveness rock record then immediately regretting it) But I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I liked the self titled more.
Gutter Flower- Goo Goo Dolls Dizzy up the girl- Goo Goo Dolls A Beautiful Lie- 30 Seconds to Mars This is War- 30STM Any Given Thursday live- John Mayer. Continuum- JM Stadium Arcadium- Red Hot Chili Peppers

I don't listen to enough music to really have an opinion on this, but the White Stripes haven't been mentioned and that's just a crime. White Blood Cells, Elephant, Get Behind Me Satan, and Icky Thump all came out this decade.
