So far this year i have listened to my fair share of music including the excellent return of Rihanna with loud and lets not forget 20ten.i found the most excellent and inspired artist with music to match was Janelle Monae.Prince's name dropping with his upcoming concerts made me check out this amazing lady for the first time ever and she very much tops my albums of 2010 list with Archandroid.What music stole the minds and ears of prince orgers in 2010?.

sorry, not interested in Rhianna at all... but yeah 20ten has some good even very good moments.. but I fully agree that ArchAndroid beats the shit out of everything else I heard this year

I also dig Kanye West, Jamiroquai... oh, and of course "Michael" was a great and rather unexpected gift

but I'm forgetting some others 4 sure

2010 has been a fantastic year for music, I think. The ArchAndroid would have taken album-of-the-year accolades from me in most other years, but she was just beaten by Sufjan Stevens' The Age of Adz for me. I also really love LCD Soundsystem's This Is Happening, Chromeo's Business Casual, Twin Shadow's Forget and Gorillaz' Plastic Beach. Lots of good albums this year, and more than a handful of really great albums.

COME ON ALL U LAZY MOTHURZ.WHAT ALBUMS BLEW YOU AWAY.COMMERCIAL OR OTHERWISE.I 2 DIG JAMIROQUAI.I SEEN HIM AT THE SECC IN GLASGOW IN 2000AD.BUT I THOUGH THE ARCHANDROID FROM JANELLE MONAE WAS A REAL FIND FOR ME AND TRULY INSPIRATIONAL.THAT ALBUM BLEW IT OUT THE PARK.AND ITS NOT SHAMEFUL TO ADMIT YOULOVE A COMMERCIAL ACT OR HER MUSIC.I SEEN RIHANNA IN MAY AND HAVE ALL ALBUMS FROM LOUD TO GOOD GIRL GONE BAD.SHE IS AWESOME AND I LOVE THAT WOMAN SO MUCH.SHE STOLE MY SCOTTISH HEART.I SEEN THE SCISSOR SISTERS ALSO THIS YEAR AND HAVE ALL THERE MUSIC.TRULY GOOD MUSIC.COMMERCIAL OR OTHERWISE IT IS NOT A CRIME TO LOVE COMMERCIAL OR ALTERNATIVE MUSIC.WHAT DID YOU ALL DISCOVER OR LOVE IN 2010?.ITS A SIMPLE QUESTION I ASK???.NO SNOBS PLEASE.
