2010 Top Albums Prep
September 20, 2010
As usual this time of year, I throw out a list of albums that I have listened to from this year. This gives you all an idea of what I have been listening to in preparation for my end of the year list, and an opportunity for you to add albums that you think I should check out before making my best of list.
