Top 10 Albums of 2010

1. Stars - The Five Ghosts
2. Hot Chip - One Life Stand
3. Spoon - Transference
4. Booka Shade - More!
5. Bonobo - Black Sands
6. Tosca - Pony No Hassle Versions
7. Grinderman - Grinderman 2
8. Frightened Rabbit - The Winter of Mixed Drinks
9. Gotan Project - Tango 3.0
10.  The Knife - Tomorrow in a year

Note: large sections of this year were spent listening to Fever Ray, We Were Promised Jetpacks, and more recently Florence and the Machine.  Sadly, the new Arcade Fire album was a yawn, the new MIA was unlistenable, and The National’s High Violet was decent but not a patch on Boxer.
