I have to write this on my phone :(

I have literally been looking forward to writing this all year. There's something about writing your own opinions down that's incredibly rewarding.

Without further ado, here's my... my top three albums of 2010. Oh dear.

1/
The Guessing Game - Cathedral
I'm on a desktop computer now, so I actually have a keyboard that isn't 3.5 inches long and that doesn't keep typing 'l' when I try to delete something.
Anyway, it's a bit sad that my favourite album of 2010 is one I don't even own, but bought as a present. I didn't like it much at first, but it grew on me after a few months and, over the past few months, has done so even more.
The album certainly isn't traditional doom metal - not by any stretch of the imagination! Wonderfully quirky arrangements and organ make it pretty psychedelic, really, and the songs are generally catchy whilst retaining an essential weirdness. Recommended for anyone who's not looking for completely serious-minded…

This is me once again trying to define musical genres, especially the ones that are in some way called dark.

My interest in melancholic, somber, and even tragic tunes has grown since childhood. On Last.fm I look for music that fits this taste of mine, but I noticed I do not perform an specific search for one simple reason: I can't easily label music. This difficulty may be explained by the fact that many bands mix different kinds of music together, being it hard to define what is purely post-punk, gothic rock, new wave, darkwave, ethereal, cold wave (coldwave)...

I wish I could understand this better.

Modernum Decadentia Oppositorum, Gargula Valzer, Igreja Do Sexo, Dead Roses Garden, excisio, a industrya, Última Dança, Almas Mortas, In Auroram, Elegia, Der Kalte Stern, Luiza Fria, Cabine C, Maldita, Arte No Escuro, Lupercais, Lucca Kosta, Plastique Noir, Bells of Soul, Days Are Nights, The Knutz, Lokasenna IOC, Effets Secondaires, Fasci Di Combattimento, Art Abscons, Chronique Nocturne…

Here's my top 50 list for my favorite love songs (of any genre). Most don't seem to be "playable" on last.fm tho.
