I'm pretty happy with this list, BUT...there are definitely already some 2010 albums I'm starting to appreciate more, notably 'Plastic Beach' from Gorillaz and 'Age of Adz' from Sufjan Stevens.
This always happens. Bear In Heaven's 'Beast Rest Forth Mouth' and Neon Indian's 'Psychic Chasms' are two of my favorite albums from 2009, and they were nowhere to be found on my list last year. I either hadn't listened to them at all or merely 'glanced' at them (the listening equivalent) at the time, and only realized how awesome they were later.
It's a constant process of discovery - I wouldn't have it any other way. I'll be sure to write about albums that I've come to love that didn't make this list.
