In celebration of its 10th anniversary, NPR Music has looked back over its first decade, year by year, with a list that highlights the moments that still stand out to those of us who make the site. Though we started NPR Music at a time when technology was rapidly changing how music was bought, sold, carried, listened to and understood, we’ve kept our eyes on what matters: the way a great song can link old friends and make new connections. And plenty of music from the last decade has stuck with us.
Included in our highly personal, not-at-all comprehensive list of the essential moments of the last 10 years are songs, albums, trends and events like:
The very first Tiny Desk Concert
Radiohead’s pay-what-you-want album In Rainbows
The deaths of Prince, David Bowie, George Jones, Luciano Pavarotti and more
Paradigm-changing albums released by Adele and Beyoncé
Technological innovations that put hundreds of cameras in every concert audience and brought about the end of record collecting
