2010 was a pretty good year for music lovers. Some of the biggest names returned to the game with highly anticipated albums. Some of the hottest newcomers released their eagerly awaited debuts. And some of our old reliable artists just continued to do what they do best. Pop, rock and R&B were all represented well last year. While we're not pretentious enough to say these albums were the best of the best, we are saying you should take a listen or cop these albums for your collection because they all had a little something going for them.

Album name: Recovery Artist name: Eminem Genre: Rap Released: June 18, 2010 Label: Shady/Aftermath/Interscope ZME Rating: 6/10 Website: eminem.com ------- Generally speaking, Eminem doesn't play well with others. Aside from the crew he runs with (or, used to...) - Dre, the Bass Brothers, D12 et al - he just doesn't jive with too many other artists. If you discount the fact that Dre is the one that discovered him, and has basically served as his executive [...]

Never been much of a Wale fan, but there are always goodies by every artist. Check it out [...]
