Renee McMahonLast week Amazon picked their top albums of 2010 (so far) and had LCD Soundsystem sitting pretty at the top of their list. Now SPIN is following suit with their own list of the 20 Best Albums of 2010…So Far. And yes, LCD Soundsystem took their number one spot as well. Ugh.But that’s not to say there’s a lack of variety. SPIN’s list otherwise looks completely different from Amazon’s, and they included my favorite album of the year, Beach House’s Teen Dream, which Amazon puzzlingly left out. Check it out:20 TITUS ANDRONICUS – The Monitor19 YEASAYER – Odd Blood18 THE ROOTS – How I Got Over17 CRYSTAL CASTLES – Crystal Castles16 MGMT – Congratulations15 THE-DREAM – Love King14 M.I.A. – MAYA13 TRACEY THORN – Love and Its Opposite12 ERYKAH BADU – New AmErykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh11 FLYING LOTUS – Cosmogramma10 VAMPIRE WEEKEND – Contra9 DRAKE – Thank Me Later8 SLEIGH BELLS – Treats7 LOCAL NATIVES – Gorilla Manor6 BEACH HOUSE – Teen Dream5 SPOON – Transference4 THE NATIONAL – High Violet3 JANELLE MONAE – The ArchAndroid2 GASLIGHT ANTHEM – American Slang1 LCD SOUNDSYSTEM – This Is Happening
