20. Linkin Park, A Thousand Suns
19. Villagers, Becoming a Jackal
18. The Black Keys, Brothers
17. My Chemical Romance, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys
16. Beach House, Teen Dream
15. Eminem, Recovery
Three million Eminem fans can't be wrong. There's a reason Recovery is the best-selling album released in 2010, one that has as much to do with our love of comeback stories as it does the undiluted strength of Eminem himself, who, clean and sober for the first time in years, lets it rip, tackling subjects both old (celebs) and new (himself) with a renewed vigor and venom. Shoot, at one point he even manages to work "antidisestablishmentarianism" into the mix. When he raps "I am the American Dream," he's not boasting; he's just telling the truth. After all, he's been to the bottom, and with Recovery, he's pulled himself back up to the top by his bootstraps.
14. Deerhunter, Halcyon Digest
13. Rick Ross, Teflon Don
Big Meech. Larry Hoover. And about a million other characters, both real and imagined. Teflon Don is Ross' most thrilling listen, alternating between blunt-force braggadocio ("B.M.F.") and silk-suited swagger (the flossy, glossy "Super High") with a deftness that belies his general ginormitude. You can debate the authenticity of his words, but you cannot challenge his storytelling abilities. Hollywood doesn't make movies this big, let alone Miami.
12. Sleigh Bells, Treats
11. Jamey Johnson, The Guitar Song
10. Sufjan Stevens, The Age of Adz
9. Big Boi, Sir Lucious Left Foot, Son of Chico Dusty
Way back in 2005, Big Boi promised that his solo album would feature "something from every genre, every funk, beat, loop, horn [and] whistle." He also said that it would be hitting stores in 2007. And while he may have been off-base when it came to the release date, he wasn't kidding around about Lucious Left Foot's sonic stew; it's got everything and then some. From the wacked-out funk of "Shutterbugg" to the big-screen weirdness of "General Patton" to the cameos by everyone from Yelawolf to George Clinton, this is a deep-fried, jaw-dropping, head-rattling, downright stanky voyage through his wonderfully odd world. Needless to say, it was worth the wait. Besides, at this point, who needs another Outkast album, anyway?
8. Janelle Monáe, The ArchAndroid
7. LCD Soundsystem, This Is Happening
6. The National, High Violet
5. Vampire Weekend, Contra
4. Arcade Fire, The Suburbs
3. Robyn, Body Talk
2. Titus Andronicus, The Monitor
1. Kanye West, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
In theory, Kanye began spinning his Fantasy on September 13, 2009, immediately after storming the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards. That wasn't actually the case, of course, but when you're dealing with truly great works, sometimes a little mythology is needed to do them justice. And Fantasy is truly a great work, West's most personal album to date, full of unflinching introspection, bloody honesty and, of course, outrageous brags and boasts. It's less an act of contrition than it is a sweeping declaration of independence, full of odes to excess and depravity, thrilling highs and crushing lows, as West gives the listener a guided tour through the past 14 months of his own personal hell. Accordingly, there are angels and demons, ghosts and Greek choruses, kings and pharaohs, but there's never truly an apology, because there really shouldn't be. By getting deep, by being brave and bold and, yes, probably a little bit crazy too, West has not only created the hip-hop album of our time, he's succeeded in having the last word too. And if there truly is nothing left to say, perhaps I'll just end with this. It sort of sums everything up, doesn't it?
recovery at 15
deserves to be in top 3 atleast
according to me recovery is better than kanye's album.......
