The Best Albums of 2010

Listening to Kick and YB talk about the "best" music of the year is like...well...I don't know what it's like, but it's ****ing painful.
 
I don't listen to much rap/hip-hop. Practically none, to be honest with you. And I don't know if I'm crazy -- but MBDF is pretty spectacular. I listen to this thing, I hear Sgt. Pepper's. I hear the Beatles. I've never heard rap sound this creative.

Maybe Vinyl can tell me.... Is there actually other rap that sounds like this? This creative and musical?

Most of it is creative and musical. As a rule, avoid southern hip hop and you should be fine.

Maybe we mean different things when we use those terms. I've not gone out of my way to listen to much, but the stuff I typically hear on the radio and see on television.... I wouldn't generally call creative and musical in the same way that I would call The Beatles creative and musical. You know? It's a matter of degrees. I'm sure it's all creative and musical, but not comparatively...

Any specific recommendations?

I'd have to put Crystal Castles on the list for 2010. For me, their song 'Year of Silence' was my favorite song of the year. Just an awesome, gloomy thing.
