internationally renowned boaster's favorites of 2010
January/01/2011 Filed in: favorites of the year
As much as I was underwhelmed with 2009's new releases, 2010 has been crazy good, good enough for two strong years. It's been fun and impossible to try to keep up with everything that is going on right now. I'm loving the noise/post punk resurgence as well as the 80's throwback. What is really exciting is that so many of the top albums are first releases. Already looking forward to the follow up releases in 2011. Maybe the only negative for me is the lack of world beats on my list. It is probably more due to my exposure than actual music produced. I trust the BWS will turn in many good nuggets here.
Anyway, here is my master list, broken down by genre and with the top ten in bold. The list is so solid that in a different frame of mind I could easily pick ten others.
