My Five Favorite Albums of 2010

I realized while putting this together that I really didn't pay as much attention to music this year as I'd like - most notable is the fact that I'm not really aware of any new classical releases, and that's actually my favorite genre - and I'll try to remedy that next year. But here are my five favorite new albums. Please note that I am just saying favorite, not best. For example, I am in no way saying that Taylor Swift's album is musically better than any number of other things. What I'm saying is that I got it the day it came out and haven't managed to stop listening to it since. So, for better or worse, this is what grabbed me this year:

In list form:
1. Speak Now, Taylor Swift
2. Sigh No More, Mumford & Sons
3. Kaleidoscope Heart, Sara Bareilles
4. Teen Dream, Beach House
5. Habits, Neon Trees

And here, if this works correctly, you can listen to bits of all the songs. (It's just in a list, one album after the other, in the order listed above.)
