2010 Albums of the Year

All of these bands put out great records this year and that doesn't include other albums that could be on other's lists. It was such a great year for music and I was inspired by a lot of these albums, some for their music and composing, others for their lyrical content. I picked a few fun albums, some new bands, some old ones. But the quality they all share is that I love the entire cd. None of it goes unlistened to. So here are my Top 10 Albums of the year.

10. Free Energy - Stuck On Nothing

9. Jonsi - Go

8. Phil Wickham - Heaven and Earth

7. Kings of Leon - Come Around Sundown

6. Hellogoodbye - Would It Kill You?

5. Athlete - Black Swan

4. Taking Back Sunday - Live From Orensanz

3. Neon Trees - Habits

2. Brandon Flowers - Flamingo

1. Mumford and Sons - Sigh No More

Favorite Songs of 2010

It's that time of year. Not only is it time for school to be over for awhile but it's time to countdown my favorite albums and songs of the year. Albums this year will be harder than what songs are on my list. There were so many good albums that I enjoyed listening to that I am probably leaving some out. However, the songs I have had cycling throughout the past year are pretty obvious to me. I can't put them in a specific order but I can choose my favorites. So here are my favorite songs of this year, 2010. What do you think?
