Top 37 & 1/2 Albums of 2010!

The year seemed to kick off slow.  But, when summer finally hit, it became obvious that it was actually going to be a pretty decent year.  Of course, there are also 5 repeat offenders from last year's list, (as well as a solo project of one member that was last year's number one spot holder, No Go Know) who came back this year and rocked it even harder.  And maybe it was the recission, but 2010 seemed to be a great year for EP releases, (check out "Recission Proof Music" for my favorite EP's at musicgeek.org) so the 1/2 spot was a pretty tough one to fill.  But, in the end, out of probably 100+ candidates, here are my official Top 37 1/2 Albums of 2010. 

***Note:  The Band Name, Album Title is a link to my past reviews of said album (or a single or video from the album), My dear friend and editor Andy Fensetermaker's review, fellow Fensepost contributor Cyndi Kimmel, or a website pertaining to that particular album.  Enjoy!***
