Top 23 Albums of 2010

First, the explaination: I had to apply some rules to keep this list as “fair” as possible.

- No EP’s. As I said before, I am looking for quality AND quantity. And obviously more quantity makes room for more quality. So, I apologize to those who only released EP’s this year.

- Why 23 albums? Susan Bauer Lee (of Tim Lee 3) and I had a small facebook posting “conversation” about the fact that EVERYONE has a TOP 10 or 20 or 30 list. Why not go with an odd number? And I didn’t want to go as high as 30, so 23 seems like a fair number.

- I’m not numbering them. This is a Top 23 LIST. Not a countdown. So, they are listed alphabetically.

The list:

- 30dB
One Man Show

- 6 Day Bender -
E’ville Fuzz

- Band Of Horses -
Infinite Arms

- Doc Daily & The Magnolia Devil -
Victims, Enemies & Old Friends

- Glossary
Feral Fire

- Harvest Kings
Cardboard Crows

- Mat D.
Plank Road Drag

- Mic Harrison And The High Score
Great Commotion

- Michael Quinn and the Bourbon Kings
Whiskey Rebellion

- Motel Drive
Motel Drive

- Mumford & Sons -
Sigh No More

- Robert Plant
Band Of Joy

- Sidewalk Dave -
Gold Liquid Mischief

- The Avett Brothers -
I And Love And You

- The Famous
Come Home To Me

- The Gaslight Anthem
American Slang

- The Kerosene Kondors
Sixteen Seasons

- The Worrymen
The Worrymen

- Tim Barry
28th & Stonewall

- Tim Lee 3
Raucous Americanus

- Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Damn The Torpedoes (Deluxe Edition)
(Yeah, it’s a re-issue, but it came out in 2010, deal with it.)

- Truckstop Darlin’
Truckstop Darlin’

- Two Cow Garage -
Sweet Saint Me

So, there you have it. Like other lists that I have done in the past, I am expecting some of the unprofessional indie bands who didn’t make the list to contact me and complain. My e-mail is Von@AmericanaRoots.com

Take care. I’ll talk to you all on Thursday with a new episode of The Americana Rock Mix. It’s a Christmas edition.
