now we begin the unsolicited listmaking
I'm holding out hope I might make it to one or two more contender films this year, so in the meantime how about a list of the albums I liked best this year? I'm pretty sure this list is incomplete, and I've no doubt I'm forgetting a couple of really obvious great ones. Maybe I'll come back and amend, or maybe I just won't.
Anyway, to wit:
A LOOSE TOP 20 ALBUMS OF 2010
I was going to add comments to each, but it's late and nobody really cares, right?
Honorable mentions, contenders, and/or albums that probably would have made my list if I'd spent more time with them: Stereolab, Belle and Sebastian, Grinderman, The Drums, Sufjan Stevens, Tricky, !!!, Les Savy Fav, Crystal Castles, Owen Pallett, The Corin Tucker Band, and maybe even Cee Lo Green or Girl Talk. Even that's an incomplete list. So it goes!
