As 2010 draws to a close, it’s about that time where reputable music websites (and some dodgy ones too) release their end of year best-ofs. Anyone with a brain knew that Yeezy would have got the #1 at Pitchfork but Emeralds’ Do You Know I’m Here? was a surprise winner at DrownedInSound. Janelle Monae took the top spot in The Guardian and Iron Maiden stand firm at the top of…errr…Metal Hammer’s list. But sack all those websites off. I know why you’re here. This is THE definitive list of the best albums of 2010. I’m going to kick off with a run down of 25 to 11 and then go into a bit more detail in a future post for albums 10-6 and the final five. So, without further ado…
