In 2010, some albums were released. musicOMH's writers wrote about some of them. The choices of 31 writers made up the site's Top 50 Albums Of 2010.

We're off for a break after today, which means we'll be wrapping our ears around the 100 or so 2011-release albums that've already turned up. And we'll probably do some eating. And a spot of drinking. And, you know, be merry.
We'll be back in the New Year. Until then, thanks for reading.
