The Vaselines – Sex with an X was the Soft Pack record this year? that's pretty good. for all the massive love gushed towards the Beach House record, is it that much better than the 1st one or Devotion? i had more time to think about my list, and here's what I came up: 1 sun city girls funeral mariachi2 marc ribot silent movies3 jack rose luck in the valley4 emeralds does it look like i'm here?5 jim shepard/V-3 next album6 warpaint the fool7 dungen skit i allt8 the fresh and onlys play it strange9 boston spaceships our cubehouse still rocks10 robyn hitchcock propellor time11 tame impala innerspeaker12 bronze horse self-titled13 white hills self-titled14 ghost box orchestra the only light on15 killing joke absolute dissent16 barn owl ancestral star17 mogwai special moves18 rangda false flag19 various artists stroke20 gorillaz plastic beach21 driveby truckers the big to do22 various artists honest strings23 parson sound box24 master musicians of bukkake totem II25 real estate reality26 alastair galbraith mass27 grails black tar prophecies IV28 gnod/white hills gnod drop out with white hills II29 versus on the ones and threes30 grinderman grinderman 2 i know i am totally omitting any metal here...the Burzum record was pretty good, as was the High On Fire.

brianjeremy Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 was the Soft Pack record this year? that's pretty good. for all the massive love gushed towards the Beach House record, is it that much better than the 1st one or Devotion? Yup, the Soft Pack record came out in february according to Allmusic. And, yes, I feel that the Beach House record is far better than their previous two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

II: OK, so I finally listened to the Justin Townes Earle album. That would slot in about #6 for me. Great record! Lots of other good stuff came out this year, most (or all) of which has already been mentioned in this thread, but the ten above are my favorites. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
