I’ve wanted to post this for some time, but kept forgetting to do so. I think I’ve been avoiding it because I usually write up a little bit about each Top 10 record at the very least. I’ll have to add it later as I’m still not in a mindset to write it up! I still need to add links.
At any rate, here’s what I loved and listened to in 2010. There are many records released that I never got around to purchasing, so I’ve got a list of almost two dozen I’d like to get at this point!

3. Glossary-Feral Fire
4. Two Cow Garage-Sweet Saint Me
