Best albums:
Treats by Sleigh Bells
Baby Darling Dollface Honey by Band of Skulls

Loving the Broken Bells love, it is an excellent album (although I wish James Mercer was cracking on with the next Shins album).

The only album I have played more this year is Contra by Vampire Weekend.

Contra's very good. Cousins has to be one of my songs of the year.

Arcade Fire at the SECC

Billy Bragg at the Troxy
Mumford and Sons at Reading
Biffy Clyro at Reading
The Gaslight Anthem at the Apollo

I do love your name joydivisionovengloves. It has reminded me that actually my musical highlight this year was 6music being saved and professional fuckwit George Lamb being sacked leaving 6music to pursue other interests. I did a large hurrah both times

will have a listen to everyone's faves, also been checking out the critics 'best of 2010' lists, interesting...

forgot to mention another lovely album, We Built a Fire by Seabear, been listening to it loads

without a doubt

avenged sevenfold, stone sour and hell yeah at brighton

best night of my year

KOL at Hyde Park definately

would love love love to see Biffy Clyro & Gaslight Anthem

I heard an unbeleivably fantastic song late one night on the radio, I didn't hear who they said it was, luckily some lines stuck in my head.

After some research - I worked out it was Through Glass by Stone Sour.

Please please, if you're a KOL/Biffy fan - give it a listen - it's incredible.

I'm willing to have a listen. Thanks Christmastrolleyrage.

i'll give it a go trolley
