Top 25 Albums of 2010
By: Cameron Christensen
1-Kanye West-Album: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy(This album will go down as his Greatest, but I thought that about Graduation as well.)
2-LCD Soundsystem- Album: This is Happening(The only thing that holds this album down is the song Drunk Girls or it’d be the number one album of the year.)
3-The Black Keys- Album: Brothers(Dan’s guitar playing is why it toped the Arcade Fire album. )
4-Arcade Fire- Album: The Suburbs (I’m beginning to think Arcade Fire can’t make a bad album.)
5-Deerhunter- Album: Halcyon Digest (I’d be surprised if these guys don’t have a #1 album during this decade.)
6-Tobacco- Album: Maniac Meat(An album where all of your senses can be unlocked.)
7-Laura Marling- Album: I Speak Because I Can(The best folk album of the year.)
8-Eminiem- Recovery (He’s back!)
9-Baths- Cerulean(This album snuck up on me, I didn’t like it at first. Then I listened to it a few more times…WOW!)
10-Yeasayer- Album: Odd Blood(Different and Odd)
11-Ratatat- Album: LP4 (Ratatat makes me want to dance. That’s a tough thing to do)
12-Sufjan Stevens- Album: The Age of Adz(Sufjan tried something new. It’d worked for a few songs, and those songs are great)
13-Jonsi-Album: Go(Jonsi is such a great song maker.)
14-Dead Weather-Album: Sea of Cowards (How could I leave a Jack White band of this list?)
15-M.I.A. – Album: Maya (My favorite album she has released so far.)
16-Spoon-Album: Transference (This group is so talented, but never seem to break the top ten for me)
17- Emeralds-Album: Does it Look Like I’m Here?(This album is so spacey! Like Kevin)
18-Broken Bells- Album: Broken Bells (Danger mouse…What else is there to say?)
19-Sam Amidon- Album: I See the Sign(Reminds me of Nick Drake)

21-Gorillaz- Album: The Fall (The beats are great!)
22-Atmosphere- Album: To All My Friends, Blood Makes the Blade Holy(Just started listening to this and it blew me away. Slug and Ant don’t really disappoint)
23-Josh Ritter- Album: So Runs The World Away(Pretty good folk album from someone from Idaho)
24-Kylesa-Album: Spiral Shadow(The best heavy metal album I’ve heard in years. Also I don’t like heavy metal)
