It seems like just yesterday I was ranking the best albums of 2009 and here we are again. Last year's list was a tall task. I had just started this blog in July '09 and had a very broad idea of what I wanted to do here. This year I felt I was able to hone in on the genre and overall feel of the music I wanted to cover; thereby leading to a much clearer year-end list.
Without any further ado, here are my Top 20 Albums of 2010.
20. Sleigh Bells - Treats

17. She & Him - Volume Two
