My Decade in Music So Far: Zoe Camp

This week, Pitchfork shared lists featuring the best albums and tracks of the decade so far. We asked Pitchfork writers and editors to share a favorite song and album that didn't make the list, along with a music highlight and their personal Top 10s or 20s. Check back for more installments of My Decade in Music So Far.

Lil Wayne: Rebirth [Cash Money / Universal Motown / Young Money]

Lil Wayne's Rebirth is essentially rap music's The Room: terrible to the point of transcendence, with all the cheesy instrumentals, auto-tuned rasps, and shitty guitar playing that were so solely missed on Tha Carter III. In other words, the album twisted, cultural masochists like myself had always hoped would exist. Don't get me wrong: it's not easy to sit there and hear Weezy fumble and flounder repeatedly under the weak watch of pals like Korn (whose lethargic performance in the video for "Prom Queen" reminded the world that, one, nu-metal bands are doing their best to hang in there, and two, they've still got bills to pay). And it's definitely not easy to go from "A Milli" to rhyming "underwear" with "every year", all while posturing and pouting like an eleven year old hanging around the local Zumiez. But as silly as he looks and sounds on that album, Wayne deserves props for sticking to his punkish desires in the face of record executives and enthralled fans alike, introducing listeners to a fun fiasco in the process.

Touché Amoré: "Social Caterpillar" [Deathwish]

"Social Caterpillar" chronicles the turning point of a crusade for confidence: the part of one's war against oneself when the battle starts to turn and the self-hatred starts to loosen its grip ever-so-slightly. The guitars are looming and serious, but Jeremy Bolm races around, eager to share such profound self-love in the face of immense darkness. "It's not for nothing, but I've seen a transformation/Like I consider my happiness for the first time in ages!" he screams into the maelstrom, his confidence strengthening in every syllable. Anyone who's wrestled with anxiety, depression, or self-doubt knows how joyful that realization is, and how difficult it can be to germinate. Thankfully there are bands like Touché Amoré to paint punk portraits of this most confusing of joys.

Musical Highlight of the Last Five Years: Drake lint-rolling his pants, of course.
