2010 Magazine's Albums Of The Year Thread For Posting Lists and Discussion

(j/k, enjoyed yr list shipley)

I'm always surprised by how secretly pleased I am when Neon Trees' "Animal" comes on the radio, and I felt the same way seeing it on al's list.

I forgot to mention, my link upthread also links to a mix of selections from the top 100, if you click on the image with the 20 albums, my cat, Krampus, the Grinch, etc. I'll also send Part 2 to anyone who wants more via PM.

"The Grinch hated lists! And the music within them!
Now, please don't ask why. How he couldn't like LCD Soundsystem..."

Might as well post this here - my list:

But yeah, def props on Zs and Jatoma, they're gonna figure very high 4 me

I explain on my blurb I'm not sure why I like the Jatoma so much, I've been listening for several weeks now and still can't remember any of the songs yet it keeps me wanting to hear it again.

Plus, that Rangers album is Salem/Antwoord for The Wire set

also wtf at the wayne/nicki song that he1geson aptly described as an mxpx b-side

I know how the snowball effect works, but I have to say it was brave Lewis & Clark shit for the first rock critic who ever played a song by something called "Ramadanman"

"Hmmm, this sounds fucking terrible, I wonder what it is"

mxpx = magnified plaid?
not sure I get the reference

uh, i think you got the reference

Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Every One?
not sure I get the reference

KRS-OneO

"Alessandro Bosetti – Zwölfzungen (Sedimental)"
