2010 - The Year So Far

The decade is off to a great start in the music department. A few friends and I were talking today about our favorite albums of the year so far, I decided to put together a little list. Here is OA's Top 20ish Albums of 2010. I can't get enough of the efforts put out by Toro y Moi, Beach House, Local Natives, and Morning Benders. They are all really amazing albums from start to finish. Shoot me an email or leave a comment if you want to check out any of these artists.
