Middle Boop Top 25 Albums of 2010

It's been a pretty fantastic year for music and a very good year for the ever growing Middle Boop team, even if I do say so myself... Underneath is a showcase of just why this year has been so great musically.

A few weeks ago I asked each of the 20 or so wonderful and talented writers we have to send us over a small list of their favourite albums and from that I tallied up the results and came up with the list you will read below. Most of the results were very close calls with the winner literally getting to the top spot by one vote and there are so many I would have loved to include but hey, it's a democracy of some sorts.

Enjoy the list, have a great Christmas and we'll catch up with all of you in the new year.
