2010 was an amazing year for music, so much to choose from and hard to narrow it down to 10 albums. There were some great electro lounge albums including Jose Padilla’s compilation, the Urbano Beach and Lounge Compilation compiled by Ben Snowtown, as well as Bob Dylan’s Witmark Demos 1962-1964, The National’s High Violet and a bunch of other albums.
