We had an amazing 6 albums that were voted into the top albums of 2010 that didn’t make the top 10. We didn’t want to disappoint the voters so here are our honorable mentions!

#6 I Speak Because I Can // Laura Marling

YOU SAID:
“As a 20 year old, Laura Marling has achieved far more than I could ever have hoped to by that age. Her lyrics are so wise beyond her years and the instrumentation is better put together and more advanced than some music coming from veterans of the music industry. Laura gets my vote for exceeding all my expectations of what she could do.”

“I first began listening to English singer Laura Marling with her very first EP My Manic and I which was released in 2007. Being barely 17 at the time of its release she was still a little wary behind the microphone. Her newest album I Speak Because I Can was released by a 20 year old Marling who has grown strong with her music. This album is by far an improvement from her first EP. Marling has grown in her music and her lyrics and has produced a magnificent folk album that many people in America are  unaware of.”

#5 The Drums // The Drums
YOU SAID:
“Unbelievably believable modern 60s surf pop. I didn’t think I would be into it, but it’s impossible not to be stuck into this album’s catchy tunes.”
“New kids on the indie scene and they’re breakout album was a huge success. Really catchy riffs and beautiful lyrics make this a perfect summer chill album. “

#4 My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy // Kanye West 

YOU SAID: 
“Right from the opening track this one is beyond epic. Kanye West’s best and most consistent album covers a lot more musical ground than his general mainstream hip-hop approach - while still maintaining his incredibly catchy hook sensibilities.”

#3 Tourist History // Two Door Cinema Club

YOU SAID: 
“It’s basically happiness on a disc!”
“It’s fucking awesome. Every single song.”

#2 This Is Happening // LCD Soundsystem
YOU SAID:  
“This Is Happpening. A great ‘final’ studio album that really highlights how much James Murphy and the rest of the band have helped to shape their own sound and paved the way for many artists.”

#1 Innerspeaker // Tame Impala
YOU SAID:
“Because it’s Tame Impala ohhhmmyyygggaawwwwdddd.”
