Lazlo's Top 80 Albums of 2010
It's that time of year again, and below is my top 80 albums of 2010. As with previous years, let me make the following comments before you see my list: It is hard doing this list, because: - It's totally subjective. The list below is strictly my opinion. I'm just another music fan making a list. - My list is only comprised of albums I've actually listened to from beginning to end. Many albums come out each year, and while I listen to thousand albums each year there are likely many good albums I haven't had the chance to listen to. So with that in mind, below is my top 80 albums of 2010. 1. The Posies - blood/candy 2. Bad Religion - the dissent of man 3. Brett Harris - man of few words 4. Keith Monacchio - the long evening 5.
