POZNATI časopis RollingStone proglasio je najbolje albume u 2010. godini. Tron je pripao Kanyeu Westu i njegovom albumu “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy”. Kanyeovu glazbu s tog albuma kritičari opisuju “jednako zbrčkanom kao što je i njegov život”. Na albumu je Kanye surađivao s Eltonom Johnom, Bonom Iverom, Kingom Crimsonom te Rickom Jamesom, a njegove rime i ovog su puta mnogima bile duhovite. “Je li album mračan? Sigurno. Je li uvrnut? Naravno. No, povrh svega, on je prekrasan”, opisuju ga u RollingStoneu.
Eminemov “Recovery”, iako je zaradio najviše nominacija za Grammyja, na RollingStoneovoj listi se našao tek na devetom mjestu. Album “Speak Now” Taylor Swift našao se na 13. mjestu, “Born Free” Kida Rocka na 16., Kings of Leon s albumom “Come Around Sundown” su na 18., a Neil Young s “Le Noise” na 20. mjestu.
