Okay, I posted this on my Facebook, but some people probably don't hang out over there. This is my top 10 list for the year. I was disappointed with much of the new music this year, but these ten more than made up for the lackluster albums from the likes of Rilo Kiley, Jimmy Eat World and some others. There were a few more honorable mentions that could have been on the list (LCD Soundsystem, &c). Of Montreal - "Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?"
Amy Winehouse - "Back to Black"
Stars - "In Our Bedroom After the War"
The Shins - "Wincing the Night Away"
Dungen - "Tio Bitar"
Blanche - "Little Amber Bottles"
No More Kings - "No More Kings"
Robert Plant & Alison Krauss - "Raising Sand"
The White Stripes - "Icky Thump"
Iron and Wine - "The Shepherd's Dog"
