Best Albums of 2010
Did you have a nice Christmas holiday? We sure did and I extended my holiday a few more days unplugged, which was really nice. I cannot believe how fast 2010 is coming to an end! Looking back over the year I compiled a list of my top ten favorite best albums of 2010. There is a little bit of everything on the list, because my taste is rather eclectic.
Pointer -- it is great how many of these mp3 albums are $5.00 and under on amazon
Vampire Weekend - Contra
Beach House - Teen Dream
The Tallest Man On Earth - The Wild Hunt
Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
Angus & Julia Stone - Down The Way
Two Door Cinema Club - Tourist History $5.00
Laura Veirs - July Flame
Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid
The Morning Benders - Big Echo
The Black Keys - Brothers 
What were your favorite albums for 2010? Shout 'em out.

These were some of my favourites as well! Josh Ritter's "So Runs The World Away" was also on my top albums of 2010 list.
ha ... i'm listening to beach house as I type this comment and am currently also obsessed with the arcade fire album. pure melodic genius.
great list! seems like we have a similar music taste. some favorites on the top of my head is the newest tallest man on earth's ep (the dreamer & the river are my faves), laura marling (I speak because I can) and mumford & sons.
I also made a list on my blog a couple of days ago, and the suburbs and the wild hunt also were on my top 5!

Great selection! I would have to pick The National's and Mumford and Son's albums. Happy new year!

The Angus and Julia Stone album is just lovely! One of my favourites, too.
I just started listening to Laura Veirs and I love her however, The National "High Violet" has been on repeat for a loooong time in my house.
Wow. Just wow. We have very similar taste in music. Love The Tallest Man, Vampire Weekend, Janelle, Arcade Fire, The Black Keys and Beach House. Looking forward to hearing some of these other albums. If you love them, I am sure they are wonderful. Happy 2011!
Great list!
I am beyond obsessed with Arcade Fire's The Suburbs.
