Best Albums of 2010 (so far...) - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

YaWhateva · 05-20-2010, 12:12 PM

I drive a lot so at the beginning of this year I bought Sirrius Radio for my car and I love it. The thing is though that now all I really listen to is a few channels which don't play new music. I mostly listen to Lithium, the channel that plays all of the 90's era grunge music that I loved in high school so much and that kind of keeps me out of the loop on good music.

So I was wondering, what are any new good albums from 2010 so far? As I said before I really like old 90's grunge type music as well as Classic Hard Rock and some punk. Some of my favorite bands are: Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Wolfmother, Bad Religion, Rage Against the Machine, Rise Against, etc. I really enjoy Fleet Foxes, Modest Mouse, The Mars Volta, Atmosphere and stuff like that as well.

Any thoughts on new music that I may enjoy?

The Deftones put something out recently. I have it but I haven't listened to it yet.

Fear Factory had an amazing album but that is likely too metal for your tastes.

Oh I should check out those. I am seeing the Deftones at the end of this month. I have only listened to Obsolete(yeah its very old) from Fear Factory but I liked a few songs from that album. Thanks!

Anybody else have any others?

So far for 2010 I have heard the following - I've bolded the ones that might tick your boxes:

Omega by Asia
All in Good Time by Barenaked Ladies
Here Lies Love by David Byrne and Brian Eno
Ain't No Grave by Johnny Cash
ABCDEFG by Chumbawumba
Trans-Continental Hustler by Gogol Bordello
Plastic Beach by Gorillaz
Valleys of Neptune by Jimi Hendrix
Heaven if Whenever by The Hold Steady
Empire and Love by The Imagined Village
Night Train EP by Keane
Hang Cool Teddy Bear by Meat Loaf
The House by Katie Melua
Congratulations by MGMT
My Best Friend is You by Kate Nash
Together by The New Pornographers
Of The Blue Color Of The Sky by OK Go
Immersion by Pendulum
Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Soldier of Love by Sade
Slash by Slash
The Movie Songbook by Sharleen Spiteri
Beachcomber's Windowsill by Stornoway
Outbursts by Turin Brakes
All Days are Nights by Rufus Wainright
Wake Up The Nation by Paul Weller
Under Great White Northern Lights by The White Stripes

If I had to pick a couple of favourites, they'd be

Here Lies Love - which is odd, but great.
Beachcomber's Windowsill - a new classic; this will be one of the albums people look back on in years to come either as "First of a great band" or "Whatever happened to hem after such a great debut".

This came out late 2009, but I mention it anyway because if you haven't heard it yet you're gonna wanna go ahead and do that.
Before the Frost...Until the Freeze - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I love this album and so far it's the best stuff I've been listening to in 2010.
Here's a sample-

YouTube - Black Crowes - I Ain´t Hiding
