TOP 100 ALBUMS OF 2010

As ever, no apologies for any perceived lack of taste!!

I've added  some 'genre' links at the end of each line - not really something I like to do as I feel it can put people off listening to something that they may otherwise enjoy, but I've had some people asking for these..Don't take these as literal- for instance, if I've tagged something as 'progressive' PLEASE don't think that this will mean the album has 47 minute lute solos - I'm using the word 'progressive' as a description rather than as 'Prog' as a genre..if you get my drift!

101- 200 to follow

Anyway.. enjoy.. feel free to throw comments in
