2010 is coming to an end. I have already a lot of things to remember from 2010 (trips, scientific progress, sport activities, knowledge, personal moments), but I will also remember it from the musical variety that surrounded all these moments. I tried hard to fit all these albums that mainly attracted my attention or shocked me in a pleasant way in a "Top-20". Initially I thought that it would be an easy task. But I was wrong. This year were a lot of interesting albums that could easily have made it in my personal list and sadly I had to remove some of those. I also faced difficulties with the top album for this year. All the 5 top albums could easily have been in the first position but, unfortunately, there is place only for one album there… So, let the battle commence:
1. Deathspell Omega - Paracletus
2. Les Discrets - Septembre Et Ses Dernier Pensees
3. Blood Axis - Born Again
4. Triptykon - Eparistera Daimones / Shatter EP
5. Rome - Nos Chants Perdus / L'Assassin EP
6. Ordo Rosarious Equilibrio - Songs of Hate & Devotion
7. Burzum - Belus
8. Merciful Nuns - Body of Light EP / Lib. 1
9. Brendan Perry - Ark
10. Alcest - Ecailles de Lune
11. Xasthur - Portal of Sorrow
12. Nachtmystium - Addicts: Black Meddle Part II
13. Watain - Lawless Darkness
14. Anathema - We're Here Because We're Here
15. Killing Joke - Absolute Dissent
16. Immolation - Majesty And Decay
17. Grinderman - Grinderman 2
18. Death In June - Peaceful Snow/Lounge Corps
19. Pink Turns Blue - Storm
20. Solemn Novena - Kiss The Girls
According to my Last.Fm yearly statistics, the10 songs that I listen mostly last year(*) were:
1. Triptykon - Myopic Empire 52
2. Les Discrets - Song for mountains 44
3. Blood Axis - Erwachen in der Nacht 41
4. Alcest - Percees de Lumiere 32
5. Rome - Les Deracines 31
6. Merciful Nuns - Body Of Light 29
7. Deathspell Omega - Abscission 27
8. Christ Vs. Warhol - Paper Dolls 24
9. Burzum - Glemselens Elv 24
10. Immolation - Majesty And Decay 20
