I think this is the first time there has not been a year end "Best of" list thread. Possibly due to the long 2010 threads (metal/nonmetal) that went on throughout the year.

So, what's the deal?

2 DEERHUNTER - Halcyon Digest
3 GORILLAZ - Plastic Beach
4 ANIMAL COLLECTIVE - ODDSAC (just the music, though the movie's dope too)

6 EMERALDS - Does It Look Like I'm Here?
7 TOBACCO - Maniac Meat
8 BIG BOI - Sir Lucious Left Foot
9 ALCEST - Ecailles De Lune

I think this is my most listened to album in 2010.
 
I keep thinking I'll like Midlake, but I'm disappointed every time I hear them. And I just figured it out. They remind me of Damnation-era Opeth, only slightly better.
