Just a reminder, this is not a football blog or a blog dedicated to any other sport, either. Most of you would probably rather read about something else, so now's your chance to be a part of the magic. Heck, your involvement could actually help create a more informative experience for your fellow readers. With that in mind, your mission is as such:

As the year 2010 draws to a close, the holidays draw near and sunlight past 5pm ceases to be a reality, there are important preparations being made. No, contrary to popular belief, an annual "BEST OF" music list does not just appear out of thin air. That said, your input is welcome here, so leave comments on this post with your suggestions for the Best of 2010. It's been a pretty solid year for new music so far and there are plenty of worthy candidates, but it'd be a shame to leave out a deserving act. Feel free to put in a few supporting words as well.

Just to get the ball rolling, here are a few appetizers...

-The Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
-The National - High Violet
-Beach House - Teen Dream

Your turn!

Some suggestions:
-- "Beat the Devil's Tattoo" by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
-- "The Fear Is Excruciating, But Therein Lies the Answer" by Red Sparowes
-- "Omni" by Minus the Bear
-- "White Crosses" by Against Me
-- "Treats" by Sleigh Bells (special consideration for "Crown on the Ground" being the loudest/heaviest song of the year)

I rather liked "Best of 2009" by one Robert Carl Crowley. This is probably because I don't take the time to discover new music and rely on you to handle that for me. So, I hope get one of the first presses of "Best of 2010."

thank you sir!
