2004

Year 2004 continues the list of excellent albums. Some of my all time favourites are on this list. There are well known classics but some less known albums as well. Genres include for example post punk revival, britpop, alternative pop, alternative country, folk, baroque pop and singer-songwriter stuff. Once again I had to make some really difficult decisions and leave some good albums and bands out. Hopefully I get to portray some of their other albums on some other year's list. Enjoy the sounds of 2004!

2005

Year 2005 list is the best one so far. The list is full of amazing albums. Every single one of them might have been number one, had they been published in some other year. This might also be a sign that moving towards the early part of 2000's gets my nostalgia going. Either way, this list has some of the greatest albums of all times and if you have missed some of them, I strongly encourage you to correct that wrong. So, here it is, top 10 albums of 2005. Enjoy!

2006

2006's list involves some great albums, but I think I've made some choises that leave good albums from bands already featured or to be featured out to make way for excellent bands that wouldn't get a chance to be on my lists otherwise. 2006's list was still fairly easy to make compared to the lists coming up. The first half of 2000's is really dear to me and I'll have to make some really difficult choices in the upcoming lists. But now, enjoy the best of 2006! There is a weird red and brown colour coding in this year's album covers.

2007

It was extremely difficult to choose the top 10 of 2007. Not because it has spectacular albums but because it's hard to put these albums in a certain order. Some of the most obvious choises that lay at the top of other best of lists are absent from this list. Maybe because they didn't make that much of an impression for me personally. This list contains great albums from a broad range. Hopefully you enjoy them!

2008

Year 2008 was an outstanding year in music and it was really sad to leave some spectacular albums out of this list. This top 10 includes influences from folk, punk, powerpop, rap, trip hop, electro and guitar-indie. You might say that the range is wide. Absolutely brilliant albums! One of the most colourful lists when it comes to the album covers and for that matter the music itself.

2009

2009's list has many great albums but for some reason only few of them really effected me on a personal level. The range is quite wide from melancholic folk tunes to melodic surf rock and heavy grunge guitars. There's definitely something for everyone. It has some of the best looking album covers as well. What can I say? The list includes many excellent debut albums and great pieces of work from bands that have been around for decades. I had to leave some good albums out again so enjoy these ones!

2010

2010 was an outstanding year in music. I had to leave many really good albums out of this list. It has many albums on it that have effected me a lot on a personal level. The year 2010 brought many changes in my life and the music obviously reminds me of those experiences and the feelings I was going through. One of the great things in writing this blog is that I can return to certain parts of my life and remember them through music. I'm sure that you can enjoy these albums as well, because they're all fantastic. I've had the pleasure to see every one of these bands live except one. They're all really good live as well, so I encourage you to buy the tickets if you have the chance.
