Albums of the Year

Ok, we all know it's that time of the year. Us music critics and purveyors of good tunes crank out our (sometimes irrelevant) annual year end lists of the best albums that have graced us with their presence this year. This has, without a doubt, been one of the biggest years for music. Some of the best material has been released across the board. From huge big-time artists all the way down to the folks who play awesome shows at great places like Shea Stadium (where Brooklyn at?), it's been a good year. Well that can be said for all other years leading up to this, right? But that just stands to prove that music is getting better and better each year. This serves to remind us of what amazing music he have been gifted with in 2010. Without further adieu, I present to you my top 60 albums of the year.
