First Half of 2010
I’ve been listening to Peter Case’s new album Wig! quite a bit this week. It’s a fine bluesy tinged album, and it got me thinking about how great 2010 has been musically. Having bypassed the halfway mark of the year recently, I’m beginning to debate which albums top my list. In my opinion, the first half of 2010 has been better than almost any full-year in quite a while. I’m not ready to start my "Best Of" list at this moment, but here are some of my favorite albums of the year - all of which I would recommend you check out:The Black Keys - Brothers
Coheed and Cambria - Year of the Black Rainbow
MGMT - Congratulations
Peter Case - Wig!
Deftones - Diamond Eyes
The Gaslight Anthem - American Slang
Dead Weather - Sea of Cowards
Wolf Parade - Expo 86
Broken Bells - Broken Bells
What’s even more exciting than the great albums already released, is the possibility of what’s in store for the remainder of the year. Some of my most anticipated albums are still yet to be released , for example, The Arcade Fire, Cat Power, U2, Interpol and R.E.M.
So, does anyone else have any other albums that I should check out?

I suppose you wouldn't like Eminem's new CD, but I kind of do....
I can't say I've ever really listened to his work other than his singles. I'm personally not a big fan, but I respect his success and how he came to be a rap powerhouse.

I have Black Keys, Deftones, The Gaslight Anthem and Dead Weather and have listened to them all regularly, Deftones particularly.
Of late, I've got a few new Australian releases - Dan Kelly's Dream (Dan Kelly is the name of the artist and a favourite already), Birds Of Tokyo and Washington's I Believe You Liar - three very different acts but all very good too.
