It’s already almost a month into 2010, but I usually like to take a moment to list my top 10 or so favorite albums from the previous year. To limit the toil it takes on my mind, I’ll just throw out my favorite 10 without worrying too much about the order. So here they are in alphabetical order:

1. Animal Collective – Merriweather Post Pavilion (9.6)
2. Animal Collective – Fall Be Kind EP (8.9)
3. The Appleseed Cast – Sagarmatha (no review)
4. Dan Deacon – Bromst (8.5)
5. Deerhoof – Offend Maggie (7.6)
6. Dirty Projectors – Bitte Orca (9.2)
7. The Flaming Lips – Embryonic (9.0)
8. Neon Indian – Psychic Chasms (8.6)
9. Phoenix – Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (8.5)
10. St. Vincent – Actor (8.5)
11. Sunset Rubdown – Dragonslayer (8.3)
12. Yeah Yeah Yeahs – It’s Blitz! (8.1)

Basically, this is the list of albums I listened to most this past year. I highly recommend them! I’m sure there are great albums I’ve missed, though. So any recommendations are much appreciated!

(Note: I also like to see what Pitchfork said about the albums I’ve liked, so their scores (out of 10) are in parentheses. And, no, I wasn’t that into the albums by Girls or Grizzly Bear this year, despite Pitchfork’s acclaim.)
