Ok, so I'm a little late; I guess I have missed the boat but every year I spend probably too long pouring over a list of my favourite albums and I always keep it to myself - heck, I never even write it down. It only ever stays in my head. And hey, maybe that's where these things should stay - I'm not expecting anyone to really care a great deal about this list, but I bought a lot of music in 2010 and I want to have something to show for it. So here it is: just a quick list of my favourites:
