My favourite 2010 albums

A Listmania! list by Tomorrowing "Circles and circles, places to drown..." (Lisbon, Portugal)
 
Waves
1.  Waves by Tamaryn
The list author says:
  "One of the most amazing reinventions of Shoegaze to come out this year. Alongside possibly Asobi Seksu's Citrus a few years back, one of the records that got me completely hysterical"
£15.46   Used & New from: £3.99
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Penny Sparkle
2.  Penny Sparkle by Blonde Redhead
The list author says:
  "It's not BR's best album to date but, my God, this is absolute beauty from one end to the other. Great listening to their newly-found electronic sound."
£11.14   Used & New from: £5.45
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Puzzle
3.  Puzzle by Amiina

Crystal Castles (II)
4.  Crystal Castles (II) by Crystal Castles

4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (16 customer reviews)

Sisterworld
5.  Sisterworld by Liars
The list author says:
  "There had to be space for a Liars album here. If this isn't the most astonishing sounding album you'll hear I don't know what is..."
£9.27   Used & New from: £4.71
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

The Besnard Lakes Are The Roar

4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

Cerulean
7.  Cerulean by Baths

4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

I Will Be
8.  I Will Be by Dum Dum Girls

Stridulum II
10.  Stridulum II by Zola Jesus

4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Dark Night Of The Soul
11.  Dark Night Of The Soul by Sparklehorse
The list author says:

4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (10 customer reviews)

Outlaster
12.  Outlaster by Nina Nastasia

Become Secret
13.  Become Secret by Picastro

The Calcination Of Scout Nible
14.  The Calcination Of Scout Nible by Scout Niblett
The list author says:
