AllMusic's Favorite Indie Pop & Rock Albums of 2010: A-M

The AllMusic editors are recapping the year in recordings with well over a dozen posts in which they present their favorites within specific genres and styles. Right now, on the AllMusic Blog, they provide a list of their favorite indie pop and rock releases of 2010. It was the usual bumper crop of great records this year; ranging from the chart-topping grandeur of Arcade Fire to the scrappy craziness of Zach Hill and many, many points in between. Such a big year, in fact, that we had to split the list in two. (Come back tomorrow for the rest of the alphabet.)
