Acima, os integrantes do These New Puritans que, segundo o NME, lançaram o melhor álbum de 2010

Após a divulgação da lista da Rough Trade, as publicações especializadas em música estão se apressando para soltar as listas de melhores álbuns de 2010. O semanário inglês New Musical Express (NME), que adora endeusar cenas novas e tece loas para o rock indie/alternativo, publicou uma lista de 75 álbuns essenciais do ano, além das 10 melhores faixas.

Outra publicação inglesa fez questão de estampar o Arcade Fire como a banda do ano e divulgar a lista dos 50 melhores. Os álbuns que já foram resenhados aqui seguem com hiperlink. Ah, e fique atento! Até o final de dezembro, sai a lista dos 20 melhores do Na Mira do Groove, que já adianto que será bem diferente dessas que estão sendo lançadas (sic!).
