This post isn’t code or web related… but here we go… the twenty must buy albums for 2010 from my point of view. It’s been a while since I pulled a list like this together. It was fun. I judged it on play count in my iTunes and iPod and the likelihood that come 2011-12, I’ll still be spinning the tracks from the album. The XX nearly made the list for me, but I realized while making the list that the album actually came out in ’09. Black Meteoric Star also nearly made the list, but really that was just because I never noticed the album last year.

3. Crystal Castles – II
4. LCD Soundsystem – This is Happening
5. Hot Chip – One Life Stand

10. Chemical Brothers – Further
