Interesting to see that, Watch the Throne and 21 are the only albums to make both lists, especially considering Watch the Throne didn’t get a nomination for Album of the Year at the Grammy’s. Another interesting note, last year’s #1 album for both magazines, was Kanye’s ‘Twisted Fantasy,’ which was also snubbed at The Grammy’s. Anyway before I go on a rant, it seems like Adele’s 21, is the runaway choice for the best album of 2010, as well as the overwhelming favorite for Album of the Year for the 2011 Grammy Awards. What do you think was the album of 2010?
