[berkthgar]

Sweet list stasis! Lots of great albums I really dug, and tons more that I have never heard of :P I loved that S album, I really should have had it higher on my list.

2010 was the year of the woman, by the way.
I predict the rest of this decade will follow suit and we'll all be lining up for sex changes soon... Chicks included, 'cuz ya' gotta have a backlash.

[Dante1847]

glad to see Warpaint got an honorable nod, and I definitely approve of the top pick. didn't think Go was that great, but I could see it making a lot of Top 50 lists

[LegendofRock3021]

Very nice list, I've heard a good amount of these albums.

[MrFruitLord]

Oh thank God... I've heard so many more of these than the 250 album thread from last year. So much less to download...

[Rocket2Russia]

I actually recognize most of these. I definitely need to start on those metal albums from the year when I get back to my downloadan computer.

[afterstasis]

If anyone wants to dig further (though I simply didn't listen to as much new music this year as last, in the first place) my RYM ratings cover most of what I heard and it picks up from where I left off here.

[Lameboy19]

a lot of great stuff, (plus I've heard a ****load more this year compared to last)

a bunch of stuff that would be on my list if I extended it

[schmeankman]

I'm (pleasantly) suprised that you enjoyed the Neil Young effort so much.
