so much music, so little time

I decided to make a list of my top 10 favorite albums for the past 5 or so years. I have had such a hard time thinking about this, because there is so much good music. so many different songs for different moods and emotions. basically I broke it down into albums that from the first time I heard them, knew I would always love them. and albums that I could constantly listen to over and over again first song to last song without skipping any track. so here they are;

#1 is a two way tie between The Receiving End of Sirens: Between the Heart and the Synapse and, Thursday: War all the Time

#2 Killing The Dream: Fractures

#3 Brand New: The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me

#4 Blacklisted: The Beat Goes on

#5 Thrice: The Alchemy Index

#6 Daggermouth: Turf Wars

#7 Converge: Jane Doe

#8 Circa Survive: Juturna

#9 Bayside: the walking wounded

and finally, #10 Alexisonfire: Crisis

This was by no means an easy list to come by. It was hard narrowing down which bands, and what albums. I would really like to put them into a better order then that, because there are so much that were left out. maybe I will do an extensive list someday. I have over 200 artists to take into consideration here. maybe some day when I am extremely bored.
