My top 10 for 2010 is something like:

1. Sufjan Stevens - Age of Adz (listened to in 2010, didn't love it then, love it now)
2. Hurts - Happiness (listened in 2010, loved it then, still do)
3. Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid (listened first in 2011, liked it but it's grown on me)
4. Sambassadeur - European (listened first in 2012, have enjoyed it since)
5. Arcade Fire - The Suburbs (listened in 2010, loved it then, still like it but not as much)
6. Vampire Weekend - Contra (listened in 2010, liked it then, still like it but not as much)
7. MGMT - Congratulations (listened first in 2010 once, didn't think much, revisited it this year, it's grown on me)
8. Yeasayer - Odd Blood (listened first in 2011, loved it then, don't like it as much now)
9. Broken Bells - Broken Bells (listened first in 2010, it's grown on me since)
10. Hans Zimmer - Inception Soundtrack (listened first when I saw the movie, bought the soundtrack after, IMO Zimmer's best work since Lion King)

1. MBDTF
2. Brothers
3. Speak Now
4. The Suburbs
5. Teenage Dream (Katy Perry)
6. Black Masses (Electric Wizard)
7. Dead Weather-Sea of Cowards
8. Cannibal (Kesha)
9. Best Coast-Crazy For You
10. Neil Diamond-Dreams

When Transference, Janelle Monae, Beach House, Family Band, Flying Lotus, and the Books don't even make the top 10, you know it was an amazing year.

My top 10 for 2010 :

1. Gonjasufi, A Sufi and A Killer.
2. Gil Scott-Heron, I'm New Here.
3. Bonnie 'Prince' Billy & The Cairo Gang, The Wonder Show of the World
4. Laura Veirs, July Flame
5. Emeralds, Does It Look Like I'm Here?
6. Forest Swords, Dagger Paths (new addition due to the current tournament)
7. Midlake, The Courage of Others
8. Antony & The Johnsons, Swanlight (recent addition due to late listening)
9. The Roots, Dilla Joints
10. Arcade Fire, The Suburbs

Apart from the two records specified, I think everything was pretty much already on the chart by mid-11, I should probably listen to the Roots album, might be a little bit overrated.

My top 10 of 2010:

1. Joanna Newsom - Have One on Me (I started listening to this last year and after about three careful listens I loved it and it went on to my chart, so you can see that I didn't know about the album back in 2010)
2. Neil Young - Le Noise
3. Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
4. The Black Keys - Brothers (I know there was a hype about this in 2010 (people here are talking about how they liked it better back then and it has fallen in their eyes since) but I didn't really care about it but last year I had a phase of listening to a lot of the Black Keys and those were good days and now I like it much more)
5. Shining - Blackjazz
6. LCD Soundsystem - This is Happening
7. Swans - My Father . . .
8. Women - Public Strain
9. Jaga Jazzist - One-Armed Bandit
10. Hammock - Chasing After Shadows . . .

2010 is one of my most favorite years because its the year that my most favorite singer James Otto released what is still his most current album at the moment named Shake What God Gave Ya! 😄 😄 😄

God bless you and him always!!! 😄 😄 😄

Holly

P.S. It was released on September 14th of that year and entered the Billboard Country Albums list at #10. 😄 😄 😄

My number 1 of the decade is Sting in the Tail - Scorpions. An album, and I've said this before, that proves rock is not dead. I've only heard 4 albums of this year, sadly. The other three are MBDTF, The Suburbs, and Band of Joy. All great except the last which is 7.5/10.

Same. 😕 Those were both in my top 5 of the year at one point.. I think they're both out of the top 20 now.

The only album on my chart from 2010 is MBDTF, but there would likely be more if it weren't for the 1 album/artist limit. Teen Dream, example, would absolutely be there.

My top 10 right now are:

1. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Kanye West
2. Teen Dream - Beach House
3. Contra - Vampire Weekend
4. The Suburbs - Arcade Fire
5. Have One On Me - Joanna Newsom
6. Crazy for You - Best Coast
7. The Wild Hunt - The Tallest Man on Earth
8. Public Strain - Women
9. High Violet - The National
10. Small Craft on a Milk Sea - Brian Eno

Very solid year, but there have been better.

I have 6/7 albums from 2010 in my chart,so as you can imagine I really love it. I didn't have an internet connection for most of it,so every album I got my hands on(mostly through mates giving me them on a usb) ,I cherished them, which made me love the albums I had even more. I don't really know much beyond about 35 albums,which is nowhere near as much as I have listened to for any of the last 6 or 7 years. So I guess I need to get on that,will use this thread to check out a few albums.

Top 10 for 2010

10. The Drums - The Drums
9. These New Puritans - Hidden
8. Four Tet - There Is Love In You
7. How To Dress Well - Love Remains
6. Drake - Thank Me Later
5. Forest Swords - Dagger Paths
4. Warpaint - The Fool
3. Waka Flocka Flame - Flockaveli
2. Mount Kimbie - Crooks & Lovers
1. Best Coast - Crazy For You

Edit: ShaneSpear just reminded me,but it would take too much time to re arrange so just imagine MGMT's Congratulations in there somewhere

Have One On Me wins everything.
I can't really say how my perspective has changed, since my musical taste was very limited at that point in time, and I wasn't on this site, but...Yeah, Have One On Me is the best of 2010. XD

I thought I would bump the old thread about 2010 albums, but it's closed. You can read people's thoughts here: http://www.besteveralbums.com/phpBB2/vi...mp;start=0

Anyway, I thought now that 3 years have passed, we could see what we made a fuss of then, what has stayed relevant, and what has faded. How have our perceptions of 2010 changed?

For me, Black Keys and Gorillaz have dropped - I still like Brothers and Plastic Beach, but not like I used to. Instead, I find The Roots, Vampire Weekend and Janelle Monae have risen in my estimation. All 3 of their albums from 2010 I now see as classic.

Thoughts?
