My Take on Paste Magazine's Top 50 Albums of 2010

Paste Magazine just released their picks for the Top 50 Albums of 2010/  The list can be found here: http://www.pastemagazine.com/blogs/lists/2010/12/the-50-best-albums-of-2010.html

Out of the 50 albums they have listed, I have so far listened to 28 of them.  Because I have listened to more than half the albums, I've decided that I would start with the lowest ranked album on their list that, that I've listened to, and work my way up to number one. I will rank each album as I listen to them and see if I feel they should be higher or lower on the list.  Here is my list so far (I have placed the Paste ranking in parenthesis):

29. Phosphorescent: Here's to Taking it Easy (8)
28. Titus Andronicus: The Monitor (5)

26. Freelance Whales: Weathervanes (29)
25. Vampire Weekend: Contra (27)
24. Josh Ritter:  So Runs The World Away (38)
23. Blitzen Trapper: Destroyer of the Void (33)
