    I looked for one of these threads but didn't see one, so I made one because they always (usually) start a good conversation.



    This isn't in any order, the first [01] isn't the best and the last [50] isn't the worst, these are just my favourite albums of 2010.

    Here are 99 of my favourite albums, 20 of my favourite ep's/singles and 5 of my favourite live albums.

  • jacobslippers December 2010

    @ math, save for the stuff Shelby has put out, I don't think I have either!

  • frodusfrodus December 2010

    This is hard!


    1. Brian Eno "Small Craft on a Milk Sea"
    2. Divine Comedy "Bang Goes The Knighthood"
    3. Luke Abbot "Holkham Drones"
    4. Ellen Allien "Out Utopie"
    5. 180º Virvar "∞" [Danish band that sounds like Massive Attack]

    And of course my friend's records on Swedish Columbia– Itaru and upcoming Jonathan Kreinik and El Huervo albums which come out next year!

    I'll have to think about the other ones!

  • GlappkontaktGlappkontakt December 2010

    Ellen Allien is awesome, her thing with Apparat was badass.


    Didn't know she had a new one out though... 


    Cheers

  • frodusfrodus December 2010

    Yeah- it's just a single with some extended mixes, it's cool though– i actually mis-spelled it, its called "Our Utopie". Check it out! :)

  • GlappkontaktGlappkontakt January 2011

    I did and it was alright, I liked her last album much more!

  • frodusfrodus January 2011

    Yeah, agreed!
