2010 - what a year.


2010 has been a hectic year for music. As the last remnants of landfill indie finally slide away 2010 is a year where music isn't quite sure where the hell it's going. Dubstep has well and truly established itself as a mainstream form of dance music, Britain suddenly decided it loved folk and witch house was formed and then destroyed. 2010 has been a year where electronic musicians have really pushed things forward and have grabbed most of the critical acclaim. The synth is the new guitar, and the sampler the new drum kit. Katy Perry and Justin Beiber are the king and queen of the feckless masses and x factor is still churning out unoriginal chuds. It's been pretty crazy and totally awesome, so without further ado, here are the top 20 albums of 2010, as picked by Music for creatures.

20. Radio wire empire - drama

19. Mux Mool - Skulltaste

18. Darkstar - North

17. Wild Nothing - Gemeni

16. wavves - king of the beach

15. Tame impala - Innerspeaker

14. Mount Kimbie - Crookes and lovers

13. LCD Soundsystem - This is happening

12. Gold Panda - Lucky Shiner

11. Foals - Total life forever

10. Avi Buffalo - s/t

9. Shit Robot - from the cradle to the rave

8. These new puritans - Hidden

7. Bonobo - Black sands

6. Ólafur arnolds - ...and they have escaped the weight of darkness

5. Beach house - Teen Dream

4. Baths - Cerulean

I was going to write a short description about all of these albums, but i thought, this would be too time consuming for me to write and for you to read.
Have i been a fucking retard moron and missed out the best album of the year? Why not have a shout at me in the comments then?
