Top 5 Favorite Albums of 2010?

[RonGillman3]

Since 2010 has passed by I'm wondering what your Top 5 favorite albums have been last year. It doesn't have to be an album from 2010 just something you listened to a lot during 2010.

For me I'd say:
1. Where Stories End - Darkwater
2. Animals As Leaders - Animals As Leaders
3. Fallen - For My Pain
4. Once -Nightwish
5. Images and Words - Dream Theater

[mmbongo]

Well I'm limiting myself to albums released in 2010:

1. Spock's Beard - X
2. Coheed & Cambria - Year Of The Black Rainbow
3. Deftones - Diamond Eyes
4. Jimmy Eat World - Invented
5. Kings of Leon - Come Around Sundown

Honorable mention goes to:

Black Keys - Brothers
James LaBrie - Static Impulse

1. Maxwell Blacksummer's Night
2. Aloe Blacc Good Things
3. The Sword Warp Riders
4. Jeff Beck Wired
5. D'Angelo Brown Sugar

Haven't heard Abrahadabra yet.. is it that good?

[ShredderMaximus]

If you like Dimmu its f-in awesome, instead of using synths for all the vocal harmonys, they got real choirs & orchestras. The actual song Dimmu Borgir gets my award for best track of 2010, sooooo epic. Though in all honesty, not counting others on list and a few others, the competition was fairly weak at best, though i definately prefer 80's metal over all. Definately check it out dude

Didn't they do the whole orchestra thing on the album before In Sorte Diaboli? I can't even remember which one that was... I need to research my dimmu facts , I have the digipak In Sorte Diaboli, one of my favourite albums, truly epic. I must get Abrahadabra

2010 was a angry/crazy year in retrospect

As I Lay Dying - The Powerless Rise
The Chariot - Long Live
Torche - Songs for Singles
Terrible Things - s/t
Rosetta - A Determinism of Morality

[Plays_For_Dog]

Willie's Nerve Clinic - Vampire Kiss
Chevelle - Sci-Fi Crimes

Those are the only two that stick out right now. I can listen to both of them repeatedly, and have been, and not get tired of them. Awesome tones and great mixing on both.

I'm sorry, but When the Wild Wind Blows is without a doubt the holder of that honour.

I must say that I have to respectfully disagree with you on that. I love the song, I love Final Frontier, and I loooooove me some Maiden, hell, when I saw them live not too long ago, I would definitely call that one of the highlights of the entire show, but simply put, Dimmu got more plays on my stereo. But don't get me wrong I love the way they put the world in perspective and it has a great video, but I just enjoy listening to Dimmu more(though very marginally)

Wild Wind hasn't been played live yet, El Dorado was on the last tour...

But really, in a year which saw a new Maiden album, nothing else should be discussed.

[ExaltBass]

My #1 thru #5 choices for album of 2010 was released in November, but originally recorded in 1989. I've been a fan of Richard Page since the 1st Pages album in 1978.

This has KILLER music, vocals, bass chops (Richard Page), drumming (Pat Mastelotto of King Crimson) and, of course, the incredible 80's synth sounds of Steve George... crazy good!

wow dude, I'm trippin, but I can't agree or disagree, for all intents and purposes you are right, to disagree would be blasphemous, but... I stand by my decision
