Top Non Metal Albums of 2010. Part 2

1900's - "Return of the Century"
This album is great in almost every way. 1900's take advantage of the male and female vocals masterfully. The sound of the record is huge without feeling over done. You feel that there could be 100 people working on it at any one time. The songs mainly share a uplifting feel that keeps you listening just for the sheer fun of it.






Cee Lo Green - "The Lady Killer"
It pisses me off that people won't consider this album for album of the year. This is one of the only R&B records I've ever liked. That's saying a lot. Songs are masterful-ally preformed on the album. Its fun just to listen to it, and super easy to sing along with. The lead single "Fuck You" is in my top 10 songs of the decade. Sure its exploitation at its most basic form, but the song is great.


Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - "III, IV"
The band may no longer exist but that doesn't mean they can't still provide us with not one but two good albums! I just reviewed this album so I won't go into too much. I just really feel this is one that you should listen to. Its apologetically rock music through and through. Seriously if you do anything just check out "Star Wars".





The Bird and the Bee - "Interpreting the Masters"
If there has ever been an epic cover album, this is it. Perfect. Yeah I fucking said it the albums PERFECT! I like their version's of these Hall and Oates songs as much as the originals and I LOVE Hall and Oates. Seriously, I dare you to challenge that this album isn't perfect. DO IT... you can't. The first time you hear "Sara Smile" or "Kiss On My List" you'll be hooker harder and faster than the most crackiest of crack heads.

Mike Patton - "Mondo Cane"

Definitely the most unique entry on the list. the majority of the album is in Italian and the songs are a compilation of Italian pop songs but with a full 65 person orchestra. Mike Patton of course is the lead singer of bands such as Tomahawk and Faith No More. His vocals are flawless and his range might be the most amazing of any human being. If you like Big Band music or if your a fan of more classical stuff check it out.
