Now that December is here, it is time for BEST OF threads to start popping up like pimples after making out with that girl from gym class.

What are your favorite albums of the year?

American Idiot Cast Album
Danger Days

Had to rearrange Danger Days myself, but whatever. This list really shouldn't be surprising to anyone. I feel like I'm forgetting something. My Best of 2010 list is on my other comp. I'll check it soon and add if need be.

Blind Guardian - At the Edge of Time
Finntroll - Nifelvind
Ihsahn - After
Burzum - Belus
Temnozor - Haunted Dreamscapes
Enslaved - Axioma Ethica Odini

I am a bad music fan. I hardly listened to anything this year.
