I'm just curious, how many of those 10 albums are from hugely popular artists?

That's a good point. Listening to the radio was a huge and extremely enjoyable part of my 90s. Now any radio I listen to is classical music (just cuz everything else is so offensive).
So combining those two points, I get the impression that "good" music of the '00s just got less accessible. Is that true? Seeing that a lot of music gets posted on the internet these days, and that the internet is an instrument of accessibility, it's rather strange to see that the two trends are diverging rather than converging.
