There's no band significant enough to define the 2010s.

In terms of individuals probably Kendrick Lamar.

this is only hard because kanye isn't a band

I'm indecisive.
I didn't necessarily go for the best of each decade, but just for the ones I thought better reflected on the type of music being made at that point. The sort of music that had to be made in that decade and nowhere else, if you know what a mean. A combination of talent, timing and, importantly, popularity.
