This Year in Music

I usually do a write-up of my favorite music from the year, which I LOVE to do because it's a good way to assess the artists I really fell in love with. But, as you can tell, I was totally preoccupied this year with my sweet baby boy. So, now, I am relying on others to tell me who to tune in.

If you too want some suggestions for good albums from the year, here are some good resources:

• NPR's Discussion about picks for Album of the Year, Biggest Surprise, and Song of the Year. Listen here.
• AV Club's Best Album Picks for 2010.
• Truth Comes in Blows picks his favorite tunes from the year.
• Stereogum's Top Albums of 2010
  

And, if you have favorites from this year, I am all ears!
