The 69 Most Anticipated Albums of 2010
I discovered this mid-December via another blog that I read called TristanEden and was immediately a billion times more excited for the New Year. The TristenEden blog explains that 2009 was full of new, blossoming or "baby" artists. However, 2010 will be the year for releases from well know and established artists. Although some of the bands are not incredibly well known, out of 69, you are bound to know one or two.
Vampire Weekend's album was released on January 11 and has already hit number 1 on Billboard's chart. Spoon, who will be playing at Workplay mid-March, released their seventh album, Transference, on January 19. It has not been quite widely accepted as their previous album, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, but it was described by Rolling Stone as a "provocative blast."
I am also excited for the release of the Broken Bells album. They released a single at the end of 2009 but have yet to announce the album's date. Broken Bells is the collaboration of James Mercer from The Shins and Danger Mouse. Another greatly anticipated album of 2010 will come from The Strokes whose last release was in 2006, although members Albert Hammond Jr. and Julian Casablancas have worked on their solo careers.
The other albums I am super duper excited for include: MGMT, Panda Bear, Frightened Rabbit, Cat Power, Free Energy, and Wavves.

I really liked the blog. It is nice to know that the more established artist will soon be putting out new music. I also like the way that they put up playlist on the site. I found some really good music.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good blog. i'm excited to hear that the strokes are putting out a new album. I actually just got my paws on an MGMT album the other day and I enjoy them as well, maybe I'll have to get the new one.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I saw on one of your comments that you used music for your golf swing. My golf swing has been very out of rhythm recently, not to mention a horrible slice...maybe I'll try the music thing to get my rhythm back!
