I never really understood musicians who don’t listen to music. We listen to a lot of it. Hell, one of the reasons why Laura and I are so jazzed to make music of our own is that we’re always so inspired by the great stuff coming out of our speakers.
In that regard, and in keeping with this week’s Favourite Band Moments of 2010 recap (the second half is coming soon), here’s a look at a dozen albums we couldn’t get enough of this year in very rough order:
Boxer the Horse – Would You Please
Zeus – Say Us
Born Ruffians – Say It
Brasstronaut – Mt. Chimaera
Hooded Fang – Hooded Fang
Spoon – Transference
Broken Bells – Broken Bells
Yeasayer – Odd Blood
Winter Gloves – All Red
The Acorn – No Ghost
Forest City Lovers – Carriage
The Gertrudes – Dawn Time Riot
