As the year 2010 slowly draws to it's end, i traditionally start to try and make sense of all the music that came out this year (yes, me too). As opposed to before, this time around i have a much neglected (sorry about that) blog where i can share my personal selection with the world. I still have a lot of pouring over leaked tracks, obscure albums and hypes i overlooked to do, but I thought it would be nice to build up towards my 2010 selection with some previous years end lists. So here goes..
