What:
Les Inrockuptibles is a French weekly music & culture magazine, that recently got a big refresh (more politics, more reportages, a stronger news-magazine approach). I'm a long-time subscriber, and usually I feel very close to its musical tastes. This is the Spotify version of Les Inrocks list of best 50 albums of 2010.
Comment:
It may sound strange, because they're invariably in the top positions, but this is the first list with Arcade Fire at #1. Some French acts are featured, too. And if you were looking for a chart with Carl Barat, well, at last you found it!

Pretty cool seems that 2010 was the year that clearly great music was made and most music heads can agree on a lot of it. I have a list of 75 and this list although smaller is missing some serious stuff and needs a spot more diversity that should have been at least top 20. Ck it...http://objmag.com/albums75-51.html
