Seeing how our staff has distinct tastes and opinions on music, it would be nearly impossible for us to determine a 10 Albums of 2010 list as a single entity without excessive bloodshed. Therefore over the past two weeks, we’ve been posting multiple Top 10 Albums of 2010 lists as determined by Loud Loop Press editors and contributors. Today, Loud Loop founder and editor-in-chief Richard Giraldi finally decides to get with the program and reveals his list for Top 10 Albums of 2010.

LCD Soundsystem rolled through Chicago for their third and fourth times since the release of their latest, This Is Happening, on Monday and Tuesday. Read our review of the Aragon performance here. Our full photo gallery from Monday night’s show will be up later this week, but until then, check out this great fan recording of LCD Soundsystem performing “Daft Punk Is Playing At My House” at the Riviera Theatre last night from Youtuber largeman:

There might not be another band that have had a better year than LCD Soundsystem. Their 2010 release, This Is Happening, was met with both critical acclaim and commercial success. Their summer stint on the festival circuit including a marvelous set to close out Pitchfork Fest’s Saturday night, which may have been the best performance of the weekend, has proven they’re one of the top bands out right now. That said, LCD Soundsystem are on their victory lap playing for the third time, soon to be fourth time after tonight’s Riviera show, in Chicago. If there’s any downside to these two Chicago stops on their current tour, it’s that this might be the last we see of LCD Soundsystem for a while.
Lollapalooza 2010 and Pitchfork Music Festival 2010 came and went, but if the massive festivals were just too much for your feeble little body and out of your price range, don’t stress. Many Lollapalooza and Pitchfork acts have already booked return trips to the windy city.
The Pitchfork Music Festival is a week behind us so I wanted to take a quick look back at what took place, and break down the various good and bad aspects of the fest.
It’s hard to argue that the event wasn’t a resounding success. Outside of the oppressive heat that always seems to show up around P4K weekend there are few major complaints from me and from what I gather most everyone else that attended.
