Your 10 favorite albums from this year? (+ favorite songs?)

[Xen]

My personal list is very half-finished, because I doubt I'll know what my true favorite albums of 2010 are for another two-three years or so, but still, here's my list with brief descriptions of the sound of each album:

(for some perspective, the top 5 listed albums could have all easily been interchangeable / #1)
1.) Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (Hip Hop)
2.) Beach House - Teen Dream (Experimental Rock, Transcendent/Insanely Dreamy Pop)
3.) MGMT - Congratulations (Experimental Pop, Psychedelic)
4.) Gonjasufi - A Sufi And A Killer (Experimental Rock, Soul, Stoner Soul)
5.) Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest (Experimental Rock, Dreamy)
6.) Janelle Monáe - The ArchAndroid: Suites II And III Of IV (Experimental Pop, Epic)
7.) The Roots - How I Got Over (Hip Hop, full band)
8.) Girl Talk - All Day (Mashup, Countercultural anthems, listen to it all at once)
9.) James Blake - CMYK EP (Experimental Electronic, Chilled out, UK, Dubstep-Influenced)
10.) Lil B - Rain In England (Hip Hop, abstract, self-produced, ambient)
BONUS: Major Lazer - Lazers Never Die EP (so short, so good, such quality remixes)

All the songs on Kanye's album because they all are very unique and have a story behind them, There all great lyrically..The production is amazing too. But I can't pick only 10 songs there's way to many bangers...
