My Top 50 Albums of 2010: Honorable Mention
So I’ve finally settled on my list of the best fifty albums of the year, which I will be gradually unveiling this week. In the meantime, here are “the best of the rest”, so to speak. These are albums which came close to making the proper list, and deserve some level of recognition rather than being left on the cutting room floor.
Note: Live recordings, remixes, soundtracks, EPs, re-releases and re-packages have not been considered.
Tuesday: 50 - 41
