Idol Threat's Top 10 Albums of 2010

Yes you read the title right, this is my list for the Top Albums of 2010. I’ve been getting all my year-end lists ready and remembered that I never actually put out my Top Albums of last year. I posted a list of the Top 10 Idol Threat Posts of 2010 which featured my best posts of the year but I never released my Top "Non-Free" Album picks of the year. I made the list at the end of last year but unfortunately I didn’t actually finish writing the post and it got lost in the mix. I’ll be posting the lists for this year real soon but before I do I wanted to finally get this out of the way, so here in no particular order is Idol Threat's Top 10 Albums of 2010.
