Halfway through 2010

Recommended Posts

Hard to believe that it is already the midpoint of the year. In 5 months we'll all be getting ready to make our best of 2010 lists. I personally find it easier to make my year end list if I make lists throughout the year.

 

So this thread is a chance for you to post a list of your favourite albums of 2010 so far. Don't talk about upcoming albums, talk about what you have actually heard this year and liked.

 

Hopefully this will lead to some new discoveries by everybody!

well, a lot of this year I've been playing catch up, familiarizing myself with bands from last year and what not. As far as this year though, Jonsi's Go, Fictionist's Lasting Echo, and especially Eluvium's Simile's have occupied much of my time. Right now though I'm 'discovering' the National, and am basically playing Boxer and High Violet nonstop until the shine starts to wear off.

Nah, its fine to post albums that are already said. For example if I see everybody has the Album Leaf high, and I haven't checked that album, I'm going to think to my self "hey, people like that album alot I need to check it out".
