2010 in music

[TheLizard]

I love that we all have almost completely different favorites.

[Batman]

Me too, it gives us all more to check out!

[Batman]

here's my favorite from the Flying Lotus album

And here's my favorite from the Onra album. While many "80s revivalists" like to be goofy and poke fun at the 80s cheesiness, Onra just takes the sleek funkiness of smooth 80s dance music and mixes that style of songwriting with J Dilla-esque leftfield hip hop. Sorry about the indie-buzzword overload there, but it's really worth checking out if you like your hip hop covered in butter.

Flying Lotus was just ok for me, and I didn't like Onra at all. I guess I'm still too much of a rocker at heart to go for stuff like that.

[Batman]

I've kinda moved away from rock in the past few years. I still like a lot of it though, BSS is pretty high on my list. I still like the rock that has lotsa soul

See: The Hold Steady.

[Batman]

Also, any fan of Outkast needs to check out Big Boi's new album. Stands right up there with Speakerboxxx, Stankonia, and ATLiens for me.

[TheLizard]

I've heard a few tracks, it's pretty good. But when are we getting a new Outkast album?

[glowinthedarkcheese]

I'm sure this has been said already, but My Chemical Romance is supposed to have a new album. They say it'll be more like their first two than The Black Parade.

Don't feel bad. I'm 28 and haven't heard of 2/3 of these people.

[Farin]

Dark Night of the Soul was finally officially released

[Batman]

Wow, I've never even heard of that project, but reading the wikipedia convinced me I have to check it out. They got quite the crew of guest singers!

[Farin]

it was one of the best albums of 2009 (unofficially) and will be one of the best albums of 2010 too, you definitely won't regret getting it

too bad 2 people of these collaborations have died in the meantime

"have died"... that's putting a nice spin on things. "Dark Night Of The Soul" is more cursed than The Wiggles.

[RockyRaccoon]

Who else died? I can only think of Vic Chesnut

Sadly, Mark Linkous too, in March.

[RockyRaccoon]

Oh right, forgot about him.

[RockyRaccoon]

I have a new favorite album of 2010. And it's "The Wild Hunt" but The Tallest Man On Earth.

I love everything about this album.

[Batman]

I got to see him live this spring. I'm not a huge fan but I'd definitely reccomend seeing him if you get the chance, if only to confirm that yes, his voice really does sound like that.

[RockyRaccoon]

Haha. A friend of mine said that he saw him in concert and then afterwards went out back and the two of them fist bumped.

Apparently it was pretty cool.

[Batman]

Cee-Lo's new song is just wonderful.

One of my favorites of the year. If it wasn't for the title, I could see it being as big a hit as "Crazy."
