TAG 5: Album of the Year (2010)

Obviously due to musical preference, it is nearly impossible to narrow down a perfect Album of the Year list, but it’s still fun to look at (and see all of the music I should probably go back and listen to again). TAG 5 ended up with a six-album list with several tied at five points, but it’s The Black Keys release Brothers which separated itself from the rest to wear the crown as TAGsgf.com’s favorite album in 2010. The list is rightfully eclectic. What were your favorite albums of 2010? Drop your faves in comments. — Brett Johnston
