Aye so 2010 has been and gone (14 days ago already, fucking hell) so here's my top albums, EPs and gigs of the year. I've ordered them, but in the albums list, top 15 or so aside, there's not really much between the albums in terms of their position. I left a bunch of quality albums out too, so a good year all in.
