I know everyone and their dog and their dog’s squeaky toy has done this but screw it. Hopping on bandwagons is fun.

So let’s kick this thing off:

ALBUMS (EP’s, really) THAT DIDN’T QUITE MAKE THE LIST

• James Blake - CMYK + Klavierwerke

This is on every top albums of 2010 list, I thought it was OK

James Blake - CMYK

• Out Like a Lion - Back To Front

Maybe if this had more friggin songs on it, it would’ve made the list

Out like a lion - Back To Front

Actual top 10 After the jump

THE ACTUAL TOP 10

10 :: Marble Sounds - Nice is Good

Debut album by a belgian band. It’s nice AND good.

Marble Sounds - Time To Sleep

9 :: LCD Soundsystem - This is Happening

The alledged last album by LCD soundsystem. It’s up to par with their usual level of awesome

LCD Soundsystem - Drunk Girls

8 :: Chapelier Fou - 613

Some french guy with a violin and a laptop. Excellent Chilling-out-to music

Chapelier Fou - Les Métamorphoses Du Vide

7 :: The Morning Benders - Big Echo

Essential Indie-pop-people the morning benders’ latest collection of songs to daydream to.

The Morning Benders - Excuses

6 :: Two Door Cinema Club - Tourist History

What can I say, it’s indierock-a-licious.

Even if this album just had Undercover Martyn on it 10 times back to back, it would’ve still made the list.

Two Door Cinema Club - Undercover Martyn

5 :: Sufjan Stevens - The Age of Adz

Sufjan’s triumphant return to form

Sufjan Stevens - Vesuvius

4 :: Vampire Weekend - Contra

Vampire Weekend’s excellent follow up to their self-titled Debut album.

Vampire Weekend - Horchata

3 :: Fang Island - Fang Island

Look, I know this isn’t for everyone. But those selected few that it is for friggin love this. I know I do.

Of all the albums on this list, picking one track from this album was the hardest. The whole thing is an experience. From second 0:01 to when fireworks play it off at the end.

Fang Island - Davey Crockett

2 :: Gorillaz - Plastic Beach

Don’t get why nobody liked this as much as I did. Ah well, my blog : my opnion. And my opnion of this is that it’s all kinds of excellent

Gorillaz - Superfast Jellyfish

Drumroll please…

1 :: Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - Let it Sway

This album made my year. I randomly picked it up at Rough Trade and haven’t been able to not listen to this since. Back in the saddle may be my new favourite song ever.

SSLYBY - Back In The Saddle
