Best Albums Of 2010

For what it's worth, and before the chimes of Big Ben toll in the New Year, here are my top 12 albums of 2010. 1. Arcade Fire - The Suburbs I first came across Canada's Arcade Fire when I saw the video of Rebellion from their debut album funeral. The Suburbs is a work of genius, hence it hitting the number one spot in my list of the year. 2. John Grant - Queen Of Denmark I saw John at Botanique this year and he was amazing. I defy anyone to find a more beautiful song than Marz and others like Where Dreams Go To Die make this a stunning solo debut. It was a close call between this and Arcade Fire as to which was my favourite disk of 2010. 3. The Young Gods - Everybody Knows On to Switzerland for number 3 and a band that I'd not heard before. A potent cocktail of post-industrial electronica and balls to the wall rock liberally spiced with sound samples, they will take your head for a spin and park it on the dark side of the moon.
