My Top Albums of 2010

December 28th, 2010

For next year I may attempt to learn how to find the adjectives for music albums, for now a list will have to do.
The following records are completely ingrained in my mind having been listened to many numerous times, including having seen a few of the bands live. It’s a beautiful thing how obsessed I can become with the sound of music.

The National – High Violet

I’m going to have to check these out – I’ve heard only singles from some of these apart from The Nationals High Violet which I’m glad to see on this list. That’s a terrific album. Only recently got into The Nationals but have now managed to digest all their albums and love every one of them.
