Just as I did last year, I submitted my top 5 albums of 2010 to Peenko’s BAMS list. You can view the collective results of that list, of which some of my top 5 were featured. However, I’m not that keen on ranking records in order, so here are those 5 plus a bunch more, in absolutely no order (and apologies to the host of great records I will only remember to include once this is posted).

• The National - High Violet
• Best Coast - Crazy For You
• Meursault - All Creatures Will Make Merry
• The Japanese War Effort - I Will Leave You Now, And Two Loudspeakers Will Take My Place
• Pantha Du Prince - Black Noise
• Gold Panda - Lucky Shiner
• Yusuf Azak - Turn on the Long Wire
• The Phantom Band - The Wants
• Field Music – Measure
• Mitchell Museum – The Peter’s Port Memorial Service
• Bear in Heaven – Beast Rest Forth Mouth
• Broken Records - Let Me Come Home
• LCD Soundsystem – This Is Happening
• Laura Marling - I Speak Because I Can
• Errors - Come Down With Me
• Timber Timbre - Timber Timbre
• Broken Social Scene – Forgiveness Rock Record
• The Scottish Enlightenment – St. Thomas

• Sufjan Stevens - Age Of Adz
• Teenage Fanclub - Shadows
• Arcade Fire – The Suburbs
