It’s Sunday, so that means it’s time for me to say something provocative. So here goes: 2010 has been a pretty miserable year for new music. Obviously, there’s been a lot of stuff I like. But as I think about my likely top 5 records for the year, I note that four of them are from bands who have produced at least one record in the last few years that was superior. That’s not exactly a ringing endorsement for the year.
Are there secret good albums out there I don’t know about? If you’ve got suggestions, please leave a comment and let me know. I’ve still got a couple weeks to come across something that will really blow me away before I have to declare the year a failure.
