So, here are my fav records of the year 2010:
1. Bleu - FOUR (Highlight: Ya Catch More Flies With Honey Than Vinegar, How Blue)
2. Guster - Easy Wonderful (Highlight: Bad Bad World, Stay With Me Jesus)
3. Aqualung - Magnetic North (Highlight: Fingertip, Reel Me In)
4. Jeremy Fisher - Flood (Highlight: Shine A Little Light)
5. Justin Currie - The Great War (Highlight: The Way That It Falls)
6. Rooney - Eureka (Highlight: I Can't Get Enough)
7. OK Go - Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky (Highlight: End Love - also the video!)
8. Mark Bacino - Queens English (Highlight: Middle Town, Queens English)
9. Owsley - Changes (no offical release, but an excellent collection of unreleased stuff by Pop Fair - RIP Will. Highlight: Changes, When Lonely Comes Around)
10. Darwin Deez - Darwin Deez (Highlight: Radar detector, Up in the clouds)
Mark Bacino's 'Queens English' is great, but not as great as his 'Million Dollar Milkshake' album.
ReplyDeleteHave you heard 'Chateau Revenge'? It's undoubtedly the power pop/retro pop disc of 2010: http://realgonerocks.blogspot.com/2010/11/silver-seas.html
@real gone: You're right, I like "Million Dollar Milkshake" a bit more than the new one, too. But they are quite different records. So it's hard to compare.
ReplyDeleteBTW, just listening to "Chateau Revenge" - interesting :-)
