#top20of2010

I know that many are thinking that this is too late.  We are ten days into the year.  Any thoughts of 2010 seem hopelessly outdated and irrelevant, but oh well.  These are the albums that stood out to me in 2010.  I have a very difficult time ordering albums and saying which are better so I will just leave it in no particular order.  I would have to say that Beach House's "Teen Dream" is pretty close to the top though.  This year had a lot of fantastic albums and I think it would be easy to bring some other albums into this list and take some others out, so this album could possibly change from day to day.  It took a lot to be worth noticing this year.

I should also mention that Steve Reich's, "Double Sextet/2x5" was released this year, but well you know it's from 2009 and it won a Pulitzer Prize for it, so we don't need to go overboard in mentioning him again... but I just did so there.

Here you go.  Cheers.
