FLOATING IN DREAMS

Yesterday NPR posted their Top 50 favorite albums of 2010. So I decided to sift through the albums I’ve been listening to this past year and came to 25 CDs that I either love so much that I have had them on repeat for a while, or bands that I have really gotten into in this past year. Some of these albums may have been released in 2009, but I started liking them or listening to them in 2010. So that is the selection criterion.

Here’s my list (in alphabetical order):

1. Angus & Julia Stone – Down the way
2. Arcade Fire – The Suburbs
3. Beach House – Teen Dream
4. Beans & Fatback – Finger Lickin’ Good
5. Blitzen Trapper – Destroyer of the Void
6. Broken Bells – Broken Bells
7. Eclipse – Original Soundtrack
8. Fleet Foxes
9. I Got You on Tape – Spinning of the Cause
10. Interpol – Interpol
11. Johnny Flynn – Been Listening
12. Laura Marling – I Speak Because I Can
13. Midlake – The Courage of Others
14. Phosphorescent – Here’s to Taking it Easy
15. Remember Me – Score
16. Retribution Gospel Choir – 2
17. Tame Impala – Innerspeaker
18. The Besnard Lakes – … Are the Roaring Night
19. The Black Angels – Phosphene Dream
20. The Black Keys – Brothers
21. The Coral – Butterfly House
22. The Heavy – The House that Dirt Built
23. The National – High Violet
24. The Soft Pack – The Soft Pack
25. White Hills
