Favorite Album of the Year

At the Edge of Time - Blind Guardian Mostly because I'm a Blind Guardian fangirl

SeraphimGoddess

Oh yeah, it was an amazing album, IMHO almost as good as A Twist in the Myth and i love that album too.

Ill Nino-Dead New World.

Hmm... Well probably the Steve Mason's Boy's Outside has got the most airplay, High Violet by The National (although that has now unfortunately been resigned to being my 'break up' album and is sadly associated (quite aptly) with a rather dark period) and The Sleeper by The Leisure Society. Janelle Monet's The ArchAndroid has got a fair spin too as has Arcade Fire.

The most played CD however has probably been Lvin' The Nightlife - New York 80s garage. Highly recommendable - the complier has plucked some great underground classics here...

Doo-Wops and Hooligans by Bruno Mars

Not saying these are the best, just my favorites..

Bring me the Horizon - There is a hell, believe me I've seen it. There is a heaven let's keep it a secret.

A Day to Remember - What Separates me from You.

Parkway Drive - Deep Blue

Eminem - Recovery

I honestly cannot pick one favourite album of the year at the moment, I found that 2010 was excellent for releases, and I discovered quite a few older albums which I am now in love withblack_tempest

Warpaint - The Fool

One of these

These two, especially the latter.

I don't have a favorite but I really like these albums that came out this year

Kanye West: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kid Cudi: Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager

Camila : Dejarte de Amar

Belanova: Sueno Electro I

Gorillaz : Plastic Beach

Brandon Flowers: Flamingo

Juanes: P.A.R.C.E.

Aleks Syntek: Metodos de Placer Instantaneo

Diamond Eyes by Deftones

Danger Days: True life of the fabulous Killjoys by My Chemical Romance

There is a hell believe me i've seen it, there is a heaven lets keep it a secret by Bring Me The Horizon

A Thousand Suns by Linkin Park

64316431

I honestly don't know how anyone can like the new albums, I mean they got like a couple of decent, but not spectacular songs on there, but the rest is just trash, it in no way can compare to the old Linkin Park. I'm not one to bash changes in direction, accuse groups of 'selling out', or anything like that, but their older albums are really much better. I didn't even complain about Minutes to Midnight, a lot of people didn't like the 'new direction', but I thought the LP sty1e was still there and strong, I liked it even, but A Thousand Suns doesn't feel like LP at all, I listened to many of the songs and I was like "this is LP?!" It didn't sound like LP. The many fillers on the album were terrible too.

Sigh No More by Mumford and Sons

I actually got the 3 disc version with their live show and a documentary following the band. I just wish i hadn't just missed them playing live in October :(

Wolls

This and Kanye Wests new album.

None of the bands I regularly listen to(and enjoy) have put out anything great this year, but I have been getting into the Black Keys lately, so...

By FAR.

One of the best ever recorded. I'm in fact going through a major band obsession thanks to this album. It's Marrow of the Spirit by Agalloch by the way. Not that it matters though. Nobody's going to check it out

This (Also my pick for best album art of the year)

Great choice :D

My pick for best artwork as well.

RobboElRobbo

Actually...I acquired this album a few weeks ago after hearing you and Bluestorm-Kalas talking about how great it was. Haven't really given it a proper listen though.

Thanks man! :) Lay awake in the dark and give it a careful listen. It will change the way you see music for the rest of your life. :P

My fav has definitely been Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold. One of my fav bands and they managed to put out their 2nd best album ever (Waking the Fallen being my fav of course).

While the cd kinda loses steam at the end, songs like Buried Alive, Natural Born Killer, and God Hates Us are just phenominal. I was actually really surprised by how good the CD is considering the loss of the Rev, who yes is one of my fav drummers and is one of my biggest inspirations as an aspiring drummer.

Honorable mentions go to Recovery, The Bloody Pit of Horror, and Danger Days: True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.
