Best of 2010 (kind of)
As the end of 2010 approaches, friend’s blogs begin recounting their top albums of the year. “Gee, I guess I had better follow suit.” After some poking around in iTunes, I learned that I amassed a total of sixty-four new albums over the course of the year. But, only twelve of them were released in that time.
So here’s my Top Fifteen Albums Acquired in 2010 (in no particular order).
