10, 9, 8, 7...


Ok, I know most countdowns usually include (at least) 10 elements, so, although only 7 albums made the official cut on the "oh, hello lucy - Best albums of 2010 l", there are 3 other runner ups, who, never the less  deserve to be mention. 

No. 10 - Kings of Leon "Come Around Sundown":
Not their best album, but it was definitely one of the best live shows I saw this year, and i just can't get enough of their work... plus, they are just so damn cute!!

No. 9 - MGMT "Congratulations":
After that mega hit debut album, most of us probably thought the second one would be yet another dance floor marathon. We were wrong. But it's still a very good album, different, but good.  

No. 8 - Gorillaz "Plastic Beach":
These guys sure know how to make freaky look cool. It might be the years best album for many, and sure, it's got that special something that not may artists have, but it didn't quite make it for me. 

And now, THE OFFICIAL COUNTDOWN...

No. 7 - Beach House - Teen Dreams:
This is the third album from the Baltimore based duo, and I personally think it's one of those albums you can listen to over and over and never get bored of. Her voice is so soothing, the melodies so perfectly balanced, Ahh! It's just so relaxing, haha! And it's great for listening while driving, doing homework, having dinner, or anything else really. 


P.S: I hear their live show is amazing!
