Jam Master Jay

That Lily Allen album was 2009, great album though.

I didn't buy many albums from 2010, so I only went with 3.




1) Allegaeon - Fragments of Form and Function
2) Witchery - Witchkrieg
3) The Birthday Massacre - Pins and Needles

Daryl

Kid Cudi just doesn't do anything for me - not sure why. Nothing wrong with it, I just gradually tune out when I try giving him a listen, and never find myself saying "run that back one more time" at any point. I'll go cop that Kno and give it a try

Quake1028

Don't forget Atmosphere! Best hip-hop release of the year, and that's saying something with how much I loved the Kno, Big Boi and Kanye (though flawed) releases.
