My favorite albums of 2010
C’mon man, everybody does it! Well, maybe some people do it. As the year comes to a close, many record-collecting folks provide their top 10 or top 20 lists. Me? I just regret not taking notes as the year went along. You would think that after so many years of collecting records that I would jot down my favorites with a few descriptive sentences about why it moved me. But no. Like many other folks, I have to stop and think about all the records I purchased during the last twelve months. And, were these records even released this year? Anyway, here are my favorite records…the records I listened to repeatedly…they may not be the best of 2010 but I really enjoyed them.
