Greg's Top 30 Albums of 2010... thus far


I have been planning on making this list for quite some time now and I felt like putting up today would make most sense because it has been approximately a third of year. There are two things I want to say before people are angered by this list. One, I have not heard everything. There are plenty of records that I am sure will make your list, but not mine simply because I have either not listened to it yet or have not listened to enough of it yet. Two, Mike and I do not agree on every review we put up. For example, I really enjoyed MGMT's Congratulations, while Mike did not. So, please don't think of me as a hypocrite if you see a review on this site that does not match this list's order. I hope you enjoy reading my list.

  3. Love that someone's on the Fang Island boat. I also love seeing Surfer Blood, Titus, Los Campesinos and especially Local Natives, all great bands that deserve credit. You should check out Frightened Rabbit's new album The Winter of Mixed Drinks, thats one I've been digging from this year.
