Even though 2010 was the worst year for rock in terms of sales, there were some great records that didn't receive as much attention as they should hav. Kings of Leon's album flopped even though it had some great tracks, Slash finally released his true solo album and shocked the world, and Arcade Fire took home the most prestigious Grammy.
3. Slash (Slash)
The legendary former guitarist of Guns N' Roses pulled out his own guns by collaborating with over 10 different artists ranging from Black Eyed Peas singer, Fergie, to former Nirvana drummer and Foo Fighters singer, Dave Grohl. All of the songs in this album are simply great. They convey the agressive but soulful personality that Slash always brought to Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver.

2. Kings of Leon (Come Around Sundown)
Easily the most underrated album of 2010. The followup to 2008's massive hit, "Only By The Night," failed to dominate radio stations and the charts without songs like "Use Somebody" and "Sex on Fire." But songs like "Radioactive" and "Pyro," show much the band has matured in only two years.
1. Arcade Fire (The Suburbs)
Easily the best act of 2010, Arcade Fire broke into mainstream music without sacrificing their indie roots. Songs like "Ready to Start," "The Suburbs," and "City With No Children" lead this massive album to the most prestigious music award.
