Best Albums of 2010

Rolling Stone Magazine has released its 30 picks for best albums of 2010, with Kanye West landing the #1 spot.  I know we love to hate him, but the guy is crazy talented, although I fear that if his ego gets any bigger, all of us Americans may have to move to Europe.  I'm definitely happy to see The Black Keys as #2 - they are insanely good.  Insanely good.  If you haven't heard of / listened to them (GASP!), well, you are missing out on some seriously phenomenal music.  Google them right now.  Seriously.
