"Some years, it's difficult to narrow my 'best of the year' list down to a select few. But for some reason, putting together this year's list was pretty easy. Read on for my top five albums of 2010. Some years, it's difficult to narrow my 'best of the year' list down to a select few. But for some reason, putting together this year's list was pretty easy. All five of the records I picked are STILL on my daily playlist--I'm just not tired of them. (Which is the sign of truly loving an album, right?) So, counting them down, here are my tops for 2010.\n\nfacebook dialogPinterest\n\nfacebook dialogPinterest\n\n 3. Azure Ray\u00A0-- Drawing Down the Moon. Thank goodness Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink started making music together again. This dreamy, lush album is a beauty, top-to-bottom. \u00A0\n\nfacebook dialogPinterest\n\n 1. Mumford &amp;amp; Sons -- Sigh No More. I have a confession. At 2009's South by Southwest, I went to see folk singer Laura Marling perform. I love Laura and so was very interested when she revealed her accompanist was performer Marcus Mumford of Mumford &amp;amp; Sons. After SXSW, I went to iTunes and listened to the Mumford &amp;amp; Sons EP. And I really wanted to like it, but it just didn't stick. I can't say why. A year later, the Mumford &amp;amp; Sons debut album landed on my desk and I was skeptical. But after one listen, I realized my first take on the band no longer applied. I've listened to Sigh No More (and any b-sides) (and any live performances by the band I can find) at least a hundred times so far. It's that good. My absolute favorite of 2010.\n\n What were your top albums of 2010?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
