I’ve been keeping lists of my favorite new albums every year since 2006 (the 2006 list was lost on myspace blogs), so this being the 10th year that I’ve done this I wanted to make a top albums of the last 10 years. There are rules: 1) The album had to be on a previous list, so even if I heard a better album after if it wasn’t on the list I can’t use it 2) List them in a non specific order 3) 40 albums total
