J’s Top-5 Albums of 2010

Riverside: “Anno Domini”

Prog. at its best! Solid playing, far-reaching songs. These guys just keep getting better and better every time out.

Black Country Communion: “Black Country”

What the Zep reunion might have sounded like if they were able to be coaxed back into the studio. Glenn Hughes locking horns with Joe Bonamassa and Jason Bonam laying down the backbeat. Classic Rock Heaven!

Heart: “Red Velvet Car”

The ladies of A.O.R. return with a great batch of songs and energy to spare. Acoustic driven, but rock fuelled. I really didn’t think they had an album this good still in them. Boy was I wrong!

Chely Wright: “Lifted Off The Ground”

Sexy country siren comes out of the closet and drags with her a box full of honest hard-hitting tunes. I would hate to be the person “Damn Liar” was written for, ouch!

Arcade Fire: “The Suburbs”

Their third album and I’m finally hearing what everyone else has been saying about their last two. A David Bowie inspired, alternative rock masterpiece which will remain on a multitude of critic’s top-100 lists long after the next millennium! And they’re Canadian, too. I repent.
