Top 40 Albums of 2010

2010 is rapidly coming to a close, and with no major albums scheduled to be released in December, I thought it would be the perfect time to put up my Top 40 Albums of 2010. If there are any albums that make it into my list before the end of the year, I will be sure to update it as/when is necessary, but I can’t see this changing much. I have listened to nearly 200 albums throughout the year and this is what I believe to be the very best. Not everyone will agree with some of the choices, but I’m sure we can all agree that 2010 has been the best year for music (of all genres) for quite a long time. This will be kept on the first page, until my Top 100 Songs of 2010 list is ready to be published on Christmas Eve. Comment or let me know on Twitter if there are any albums that would have made your Top 10/20.

While in his hometown of Chicago, Illinois, Ruby Hornet got a sit down with Lupe Fiasco. The whole interview is centered around his feelings towards his upcoming LP, Lasers. Lupe talks about initially just wanting a release from his label, to the back and forth frustrations with his album being shelved, the online petitions as well as the protest infront of Atlantic Records, The Lasers Manifesto, and more. Lasers will be in stores March 8th. Very interesting.
