Top Ten Albums of 2010 [hypem]

So (with a little help from my Last fm account and iTunes) here goes my list:

#1 Teen Dream by Beach House

#2 Life of Leisure by Washed Out

#3 Before Today by Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti

#4 Magic Chairs by Efterklang

#5 Lucky Shiner by Gold Panda

#6 Forgiveness Rock Record by Broken Social Scene

#7 Broken Dreams Club by Girls

#8 Pigeons by Here We Go Magic

#9 Perch Patchwork by Maps & Atlases

#10 Inner Speaker by Tame Impala

That was a lot trickier than I thought it would be… 2010 has seen some good tunes and some good album releases. A few albums that just missed the cut were:

Write About Love by Belle and Sebastian, Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter, Causers Of This by Toro Y Moi, No Mas by Javelin, Broken Bells by Broken Bells, Color Your Life by Twin Sister, Gemini by Wild Nothing, Flaws by Bombay Bicycle Club, Be So True by Millionyoung, Small Black EP by Small Black, Crooks and Lovers by Mount Kimbie, The Age of Adz by Sufjan Stevens, Forget by Twin Shadow

There were albums that were slightly further from the mark, but still provided good listening:

Weathervanes by Freelance Whales, Big Echo by The Morning Benders, Lisbon by The Walkmen, Avi Buffalo by Avi Buffalo, Beach Fossils by Beach Fossils, Young EP by Summer Camp, Crazy For You by Best Coast, King of the Beach by Waves, High Violet by The National, Clinging to a Scheme by Radio Dept., The Fool by Warpaint
