10 & 20 in 2010.

Greetings to all during this Christmas Season.  It's the time of year that I like to look back and acknowledge the music that has moved me, grooved me, and led me to the Throne room of God in worship.  So without further adieu I present to you my top 10 Worship Albums (Live and Studio) of the year.  These albums (among the hundreds that are put out each year) drove me to amazing places of adoration and praise of our great God.  These are ranked in order from my favorite to my least favorite (an amazingly slim margin I assure you), and give credit to songwriting, style and overall quality. 

I also thought it would be fun to transparently provide (outside of the worship albums mentioned) my top 20 "most listened to" albums from 2010, according to my play counts in iTunes.  This should give you a picture of how eclectic my taste is in music, and honestly be a little embarrassing for me.  But that's just good fun right? .....  right?  Alright here we go:
