another year gone, another top 10 list. i feel like my honorable mentions list has a bit more diversity than the past couple years, but the top 10 has some of the usual suspects on it.

i think 2010 was a great year for music. lots of great releases, and i finally gave massive attack a chance and ended up loving their newest one.  there were also quite a few releases from bands i used to love that more or less sucked (korn and sevendust come to mind right away).

as always, previous years’ top 10 lists can be found here

1. menomena – mines

2.  torche – songs for singles

3. deftones – diamond eyes

4. the dillinger escape plan – option paralysis

5. far – at night we live

6. the roots – how i got over

7. massive attack – heligoland

8. east of the wall – ressentiment

9. knut – wonder

10. wovenhand – the threshingfloor
