To read the list from the top (#25), click here. I've spent a huge amount of time reviewing 2010 - and with this post I firmly ground myself into 2011 and pledge to get back in to the swing of new releases. Forward thinking from now on. I wanted to put 2010 to bed with a decent post however, so for those of you who have been following my lists as they (slowly) unfold, this is the big finale - my top ten favourite albums of 2010, hope you enjoyed listening to them as [...]
Since I'm later than everyone else and am expounding (and have expounded) elsewhere plenty on 2010 I'll keep this one short. The following is a list of the most compelling records I heard in 2010. Not coincidentally these really were the records I actually listened to most. To my mind, every one of my choices [...]
We're nostalgic already. Remember Kanye's album? That was dope. Seriously though, we had a great year and we hope you did too. Here's a little something we put together to put all our love for 2010 in one place. The list was made by averaging Matt, Steve, and Ethan's 25 favorite albums of 2010 (Arnold's opinion, though very highly regarded, was not included because he doesn't like to confine music to lists...or he just didn't make one). Click on the artist to see what we've had to say about them previously, and click the album art on [...]
2010 was quite a year. It saw graduations, festivals, a move from Athens to Barcelona, the discovery of a new city, a slight, um, slowing down of our blog activity, a World Cup, many flights (17 for me), and a lot of great music. So, without further ado, we present to you: So, how did we compile this rather fantastic list, you ask? Easy, we consulted our trusty last.fm profiles (see the bottom of this page for our individual profiles). We then each chose our top 25 and [...]
I'm back with my absolute favorite songs of this year! I was not in America for half the year, so I'll admit that I wasn't on my A game with respects to the latest and greatest on the airwaves... feel free to argue with me (although praise would be nice, too). Charts, reviews, and Pitchfork aside, this is what I was listening to on repeat in 2010... 25. Throwing Shade - Abe Vigoda I like how chaotic this feels, it sort of had to grow on [...]
Når 2010 forsvinder, vinker jeg farvel til året på toppen af en fuldstændig ubegribeligt stor bunke af fantastisk musik. Skønt branchen sikkert stadig siger "krise!" siger musikken "kvalitet!". Heldigvis. Denne liste er fonden af 40 plader, som gennem december har været under luppen. Listen er valgt med indie-brillerne på, og repræsenterer, hvad jeg har hørt mest fra den kant, idet en stor del af de interessante, elektroniske artister blot har udgivet ep'er og singler, som dermed har det svært på en albumliste. # 10: The Rumour Said Fire (DK) Titel: The Arrogant [...]
Recently capping off 2010 with an Artist of the Month nod from the Deli & an mvtU Best Freshman Video award, Oh Land's Nanna Øland Fabricius looks back on her favorite musical moments from the past year.
2010 var så tæt spækket med god musik og solide plader, at det næsten kan være umuligt at forkorte favoritlisten på 30-40 plader helt ned til 10. Alligevel kaster jeg mig her ud i prøvelsen med at finde de 10 plader, der har sat det største præg på mit år der snart er rundet ud. Noget af det vil nok være ret tørt stof, men anywho, så håber jeg at et par stykker af jer finder overskud til at læse hele mit kyniske indlæg igennem #10: Mount Kimbie (UK) [...]
2010 is all but up and what a year of music its been. The bakers of Hotcakes have been putting their collective toques together and these are our favourite albums of the year: 1. Beach House - Teen Dream This album came top by a country mile, which just goes to show how exceptional it is. Regardless of your tastes and genres, it is so hard to not be bowled over by all ten songs, right from the first riff of [...]
Brianne's favorite records from 2010 include Deerhunter, Titus Andronicus and more. Read on!

Rather than having a semantic argument about whether 2009 or 2010 was the end of the last decade, Ca Va Cool yet again brings you its top albums of the year. Aside from being the year that brought us the hit motion picture Scott Pilgrim vs. the World , the Chicago Blackhawks' Stanley Cup win, and Julian Assange's rise to power, 2010 brought a new batch of music to listen to. Through our patented, painstaking, super-secret process, we have separated the wheat from the chaff to bring you twenty of this year’s finest albums (and Sufjan Stevens). [...]
Oh it's the most wonderful time of the year isn't it? I'm sure some of you people are just about sick of all this year end list mumbo jumbo (as we sort of are too). We do however realize that some of you may have secretly been waiting for us to drop more lists your way. Well here you go friends, I give you the Austin Town Hall Top 50 songs of 2010. This list typically proves to be the hardest one to narrow down since we usually start with over 200 songs and somehow get it whittled down to [...]
Four days, 75 albums and now we arrive at our pick of the ten best albums of 2010. Two homegrown albums - very different in content - make the final list, alongside some of the year's big international hitters. Thanks to our writers and photographers for contributing, we hope you've discovered something new along the way... Albums of 2010: 75-51 | 50-41 | 40-31 | 30-21 | 20-11 | 10-1 10. Vampire [...]
After posting Idiot Glee's free Christmas compilation this morning, I remarked about all of the new holiday tunes artists have been releasing this year. I can add another one to list as Beach House released a brand new holiday tune via Twitter this afternoon. A Christmas tune by an artist who created IGIF's favorite album of the year? Don't mind if I do. [MP3] Beach House - I Do Not Care For The Winter Sun The duo are sure [...]

We all know what it's like to operate through December, with the party season tempting even the strongest out on school nights. What you need is a day off, a warm blanket, a friend to come over with chips and a coke and a soundtrack to get you from the edge of the abyss back to the warm, glowing fug of December. A place where you can eventually feel like getting up, going out and doing it ALL over again. Solving your problems and delivering you back into the arms of the weekend are Julian Casablancas , [...]
Its pretty sad seeing 2010 go, and as I sift through my collections, drafting this list its making me all the more nostalgic. These songs are not necessarily the best, just the ones which struck the deepest with me over the year. They are the ones which I have had the best relationship with, strike up the best memories and relate to a particular positive time or place throughout the 2010. These twenty five are the melodies which i'll recall in a year, two years or even five years down the line and think, "Ah, 2010, what a fantastic year [...]
