Top 10 Albums of the Year

Alright, next up on the "End of Year" lists is the list for album of the year. For this list I'm going to do something different. I'm going to post on album a night for 10 days. I'll start this evening with the #10 album of the year.


#10 - "Late Registration" - Kanye West

Most people know that I am pretty much a fan of punk/emo/ rock/ alternative, whatever you want to call it, so it may seem weird to see a rap album on my top 10 for the year, but that's just how good the Kanye West album is. When Donnie first sent it to me, he said that it was amazing, so I figured it would be the same as his last album where I like 2 or 3 tracks, but that was not the case at all. From first to last, minus the skits of course, Late Registration displays tracks that are so original and varied that it is tough not to listen to the album all the way through with each listen. Kanye certainly knows how to sell an album, bringing in guests from all different backgrounds, from Nas to Adam Levine of Maroon 5. If rap isn't your thing, you should still give this album a try, it's worth it...after all, it is my #10 album of 2005
