Top 10 Albums of 2010

Not necessarily in any particular order, although I do try, here are my favourite albums of the last 12(ish) months. Needless to say, there's no Kings Of Leon... Oh well.

Feel free to agree/disagree/comment.

1. Grinderman - Grinderman 2

Everything dirty rock should be. No holds barred for Nick Cave, and this album truely is a relevation.

Check out - Worm Tamer

2. Arcade Fire - The Suburbs

They keep getting better and better. A perfectly crafted album that should warm the coldest of hearts.

Check out - Month Of May

3. Best Coast - Crazy For You

West coast stoner pop at it's finest. Granted I've never heard it at it's worst but still...

Check out - Feeling Of Love

4. Vampire Weekend - Contra

Lawsuits aside, this album picks up where 'Vampire Weekend' left off, and continues the party. Good times!

Check out - Cousins

5. LCD Soundsystem - This Is Happening

If this is the last thing James Murphy releases under the guise of LCD Soundsystem, then what a high to go out on.

Check out - Drunk Girls

6. Kele - The Boxer

Keeping alive the techno groove that Bloc Party strode into with 'Flux', Kele Okereke brings the beat with his solo offering.

Check out - On The Lam

7. Bombay Bicycle Club - Flaws

An all acoustic album that revels in the pop/folk genre.

Check out - Ivy & Gold

8. Frightened Rabbit - The Winter Of Mixed Drinks

Maybe not as powerful as earlier offerings, Frightened Rabbit's fourth album is however good enough to make my list.

Check out - Swim Until You Can't See Land

9. Admiral Fallow - Boots Met My Face

My discovery of 2010. Wonderful Scottish band, who make jolly good music. Buy it and listen.

Check out - Old Balloons

10. Belle & Sebastian - Write About Love

Twee indie kings return with an album to tug the heartstrings and brighten your day.

Check out - Write About Love

Enjoy!
