2010's Top 50 Albums of 2010 (#50-26)

Not much to say here as our rundown of the year's best music continues. Our 2nd annual top albums list has the same overall structure as last year's, though this year we chose to bump it up to 50 (as opposed to 25 like last year) because there were 'that many' great albums. #50-26 are out today (Thursday, Dec 16) and #25-1 will be out tomorrow (Saturday, Dec 18). #25-1 will also have brief takes on the albums.

We love being your source for music and take it pretty seriously. We took quite a while to compile this list and feel great about it. Thanks again to Stephen for his help. Again as we normally encourage it, if you think we snubbed someone, tell us below. On the contrary, if you want to tell us how great the list is, we always love a pat on the back (and by that I mean tell us how great we are below). Welp, here goes:
