To commemorate how awesome 2010 has been so far in music, I made a list. Want to hear it? Here it goes...
Good:
Gorillaz--Plastic Beach
Neon Trees--Habits
Black Keys--Brothers
Better:
The Hold Steady--Heaven in Whenever
Drive-By Truckers--The Big To-Do
Best:
LCD Soundsystem--This is Happening
The award for most overrated release goes to: Vampire Weekend for Contra, their 'meh' followup to their eponymous debut.
My husband will tell you that I should've put the Big Boi album on my list. Go bug him about putting up his own list and tell him I sent you.
There are some albums that I want to check out but haven't yet:
High violet (The National)
Treats (Sleigh Bells)
White crosses (Against Me)
Shout it out (Hanson--blame The Sound of Young America for this one)
Culdesac (Childish Gambino)
What are your favorite albums of 2010 so far? Leave a comment!

Nice list. I completely agree re: Drive-by Truckers and Black Keys. I LOVE The Big To-Do. Hold Steady was solid. Have to get to LCD.
Disciplined list, too. I can’t be as short. :-(
More favorites of 2010:
The National--High Violet, on your yet-to-come list. Very, very good.
Frightened Rabbit--Winter of Mixed Drinks. If you don’t know this Scottish band, try their previous cd, The Midnight Organ Fight
Roky Erickson with Okkervil River--True Love Cast Out All Evil. A very moving album, especially if you read about his life story
Avi Buffalo--true pop music, gorgeous, made by a band barely out of high school
Titus Andronicus--Monitor. Loud loud loud. I’m too old for this, but I can’t help it.
Maybe:
Yeasayer--Odd Blood. Need to spend more time with this.
My disappointments:
MGMT--Congratulations. Meh.
Band of Horses--Infinite Arms. This is harsh. I love this band. Excited to see them in Des Moines in August. But...a comedown from earlier cd’s for me.
New Pornographers--Together. Another band I adore. Just felt I have heard this all before.
And who are these kids called the Rolling Stones? That album they released a few months ago, Exile on Main Street, man oh man.
There is no shame in Hanson. Truly take it from me. ;-)
And I need to pick up that Big Boi.
