Favorite Albums of 2010

Here are my favorite albums of 2010.  I bought 133 albums in 2010 (most ever).

Also, I decided to list every album that had average song rating greater than 4, since they would all be worthy of mentioning and buying.   I have 22 albums that earned that distinction.

Using my album formula, here were my favorite 22 albums in 2010:

1.  Mixtapes’ Maps (Death to False Hope) – 9.772
