Top Albums of the 2010

Here's a few lists of top 10 records of the year from a few music geeks that I know or that I DJ around with on occasion. All the lists are really good and if you're looking for a list with a non bias slant (meaning none of us are paid off by sponsorship or by labels), its a good place to look for records you might have missed out on this year.
