The Top 10 Albums of 2010, Says Me

Damn, it's been a good year for music. Loads of new bands with unique sounds and some great new albums from old favourites. While I could easily have made a top twenty or thirty list, 10 is just such a nice round number. (And I don't really have time to make a top 30 list.) So here are my ten favourite albums from the past 12 months, along with a stand-out track from each. Agree or disagree? Let me know.
