Best of 2010?

Another forum that I participate in is gearing up for it's annual polls. They look for 3 nominations for album of the year and gigs of the year. Albums have to be RELEASED in the calendar year. So archival releases, the sort of thing that Dylan and Young release, are eligible but straight re-issues are not. There's a grey area as regards re-issues because these often have new material. I'd say that a re-issue with a couple of bonus tracks shouldn't count, but something like the re-issue of Richard & Linda Thompson's "Shoot Out The Lights", with an entire 2nd disc of live material probably should. For the gigs it must have taken place in the calendar year and you must have been there (not watching on TV - though it may be possible in some cases to have been there AND to have watched on TV). Purely for informational/sharing purposes. Perhaps an extension of "what are you listening to now". No prizes, no need to award points or order your nominations. Maximum of 3 albums, maximum of 3 gigs. Nominate away!

For me also Robert Plant's Band of Joy, it's great. Best gig - and only one for me this year - has to be Masters of Rock.
