Great concept! I love reflecting on how well things age over time. Some things that had a strong first impression don't have a lasting one, and some things that weren't as impactful on us at first might grow on us and stay with us longer. Sometimes our tastes change too! and that is something I noticed about this video. Preferences evolve, even in our 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond.

Wise words Mofo!

[@Mofos_of_Metal]

@@simonbrayfromsot1375 Your reflections on Manowar's Battle Hymns re-recording was like mine! I appreciate it for a novelty listening or 2 but don't revisit it. They're currently re-recording Sign of the Hammer for the 40th anniversary of the album - again begs the question - WHY?! To be fair, it's wise economically because they're likely to earn just as much from that as their new original album coming next year. The fan base is so loyal they'd buy freeze-dried nuggets of Joey DeMaio's droppings!

[@johnmichaelwilliams6694]

Great beer start with Mr. Malty and Simon's americanized coffee accent among everything else make for another classic UK Connection episode. Wasn't listening to very much new music during a period that includes 2010 but, like the three of you, looking back on reviews or my thinking then often requires changes after more than a decade passes. My recollection is favorites of the time for me included the Elton John/Leon Russell album, the Union, the classical album of C.P.E Bach performed by Danny Driver along with the recording by a hometown band Morningbell entitled We Are Angular And Beautiful. All three of these are listened to quite a bit still though I can only listen to Morningbell through KZbin so it tends not to be played as much. Hope you three will do this again for another episode - perhaps look back ten years to 2013. But whatever is on the agenda, always looking forward to the virtual gathering across the pond. Cheers!

[@jimhawkes]

Cheers! Very entertaining as always gents. Enjoying the show with a drop of Doom Bar this evening.

The Union - think that was my album of the year that year. I take it you were referring to Pete Shoulder's Feathers And Rain as the low-key solo album. He was also in bluesy outfit Winterville whose CDs ain't cheap sadly 😞 Great voice and a great writer.

[@allandonaldson8400]

It is really great to hear a shout out for The Union, especially Pete Shoulder. He is a brilliant singer, his band before Winterville are very worth checking out especially if you are a fan of Alter Bridge. Winterville are no longer but there was an ep with a band called Silverthorne which included Brian Titchy on drums. He also was part of a band called Sloper with some former members from Golden Earring.

Some of my favorite albums from that year that weren't mentioned. Magic Kingdom - Symphony of War. Anthriel - The Pathway Darkwater - Where Stories End These ones are quick ones I can think of that I loved then and still love now.

[@garykelly9475]

Not made a list for this year prior to broadcast and currently working my way through the episode, but posting as Pete has listed Spock's Beard. Not long back in from their gig at Classic Grand, Glasgow tonight, and just to say they were fantastic, as ever and a really healthy turn out from what I could see! Catch them on the rest of the tour folks Some that would have made it Spock's Beard, Haken, Kingcrow, Black Country Communion, Vanden Plas, Anathema, Moon Safari, Hasse Froberg & Musical Companion (far more time for Hasse than the Flower Kings these days), RPWL, FM, Mystery, Hawkwind. I will stick up for Orphaned Land even though not top 10 material (then or now). One band/album that wasn't in my top 10 nor now, that I bought into the hype... District 97. Bought the first two albums when they were getting great press in the prog world. Hunt's a fine singer but I just find them totally overrated now

I regularly listen to the 2010 releases from High on fire, Iron Maiden and Star One. And the last two i bought years later. But most bands i thought of had their great releases before or after 2010.

[@StrappingOldLad]

Made my current top 10 from 2010. Would probably be quite similar if I had made one in 2010 as well. Could see Masterplan and Immolation get a spot back then. Audrey Horne would have crept in later. Not sure if Triptykon would have made it when it was released. Not even sure I should have it on the list now. Have only listened to it a handful of times in the last decade, but when I do it is excellent. Have to be in the right frame of mind, though. 1. Cathedral - The Guessing Game 1. Black Country Communion - Black Country Communion 3. Atheist - Jupiter 3. Star One - Victims of the Modern Age 3. Nevermore - The Obsidian Conspiracy 6. Overkill - Ironbound 7. Audrey Horne - Audrey Horne 8. Melechesh - The Epigenesis 9. Triptykon - Eparistera Daimones 10. Priestess - Prior to the Fire Yes, 1st and 3rd are tied. Could not separate those. 1-5 could all be tied for number one. They are the standouts for me from this year.

In 2010, I was 50. I find most of your picks so foreign. Agree with Simon’s picks the most. Hard to believe most of these bands I’ve never heard of, and I’m a music junkie since the mid 70’s. My top 3 albums of 2010 are, Against Me”White Crosses”, Drive By Truckers “The Big To Do” and The Gaslight Anthem “American Slang”.

I think it was a very good year, power metal was again on the rise. These are probably the favourites of those I bought back in 2010: Blind Guardian - At The Edge Of Time Burzum - Belus Freedom Call - Legend Of The Shadowking Gamma Ray - To The Metal Ghost - Opus Eponymous Rhapsody Of Fire - The Frozen Tears Of Angels Sabaton - Coat Of Arms Watain - Lawless Darkness

[@terryjohnson5275]

Only just caught up with this one , couldnt recall any that I bought in 2010, so reading comments and what was in your lists I know I will have got Black Country Communion, Accept, Asia, Scorpions, Iron Maiden but other than that , no idea, and of those the only one I know I've listenened to quite a bit since is the Accept 😁. Your mentioning Spock's Beard though - I went to see them in Leeds Sunday 28th Jan and they were absolutely fantastic - agree with Pete that they slumped a bit after Neal Morse left but Ted Leonard gave them the kick up the backside they needed, absolutely inspired choice to replace D'Virgilio, as he's not only a great singer he plays a pretty damn good second guitar to Alan Morse.

[@PerfectMask1]

Really enjoyed that show - What a great idea. I had a look at albums released in 2010 and these were my favorites from that year, at the time: 1. Mourning Lenore - Loosely Bounded Infinities. 2. Overkill - Ironbound - 3. Annihilator - Annihilator. 4. Enslaved - Axioma... 5.Alcest - Ecailles.. 6. Iron Maiden - Final Frontier. 7. Deftones - Diamond Eyes 8. Ghost - Opus Eponymous. Since then I would take out, Ghost, Maiden and Alcest and add the following to make up a top 10: Death Angel - Relentless Retribution. Motorhead - The World is yours Dark Tranquillity - We Are The Void Blind Guardian - At The Edge of Time. Accept - Blood Of The Nations. Hope this idea makes a return. The James LaBrie album mentioned by Simon wouldn't make my top 10, but was a pretty good listen. Especially as I woudn't expect melodic death metal from him!

I doubt I had a list in 2010, but I can guarantee that Iron Maiden and Armored Saint would've been on it. And while the vast majority of the artists below I'd heard of, I'd probably only heard half of those albums at that time. Today's ranking (the top four would've remained unchanged): 1. Black Country Communion 2. Accept - Blood of the Nations 3. Ghost - Opus Eponymous 4. Joe Bonamassa - Black Rock 5. Cactus - V 6. Jon Oliva's Pain - Festival 7. Iron Fate - Cast in Iron 8. Gypsyhawk - Patience and Perserverance 9. Overkill - Ironbound 10. Helloween - 7 Sinners

[@MCDLHOTP]

My top 5: 1. Accept - Blood of the Nations: Accept were back with a bang. Track to check out: No Shelter 2. Death Angel - Relentless Retribution: Their first album with a new rythm section - that still keeps the machine going today. TTCO: Absence of Light 3. Tank - War Machine: Not the 80's Tank, but quality hard rock with Doogie White singing. TTCO: My Insanity 4. Annihilator - Annihilator: Unflinching thrash metal from the Dave Padden-era of the band. TTCO: The Trend 5. ReVamp - ReVamp: Floor Jansen's band between After Forever and Nightwish: TTCO: The Trial of Monsters I hadn't discovered hard rock/metal in 2010, so this is just my list from today. There are still quite a lot more that would be contenders based on the band, but I'm not familiar with that particular album, like the albums by Raven, Bangalore Choir, FM, Y&T, Loudness, Star One (Arjen has a new project and album on the way, maybe time for another interview here on the channel? 😉), Yngwie, and more.

[@PerfectMask1]

Interesting comncept for a show. Perhaps you could revisit this annually and review your choices from a decade previously? Also think you missed a slight point here where you could have listed albums from the relevant year that didn't cross your radar at the time but which you later discovered and now rate highly. Oh, and for sychronicity, didn't watch this live as I was watching Spock's Beard be excellent in Glasgow on Saturday evening.

Cool Pigeon Street shout out. My favourite character from the cartoon was long distance Clara. 😂 As for 2010 that were on your lists. I hadn't heard a lot of those bands. My number 1 favourite album from that decade & I remember listening to it when I was working in the warehouse in 2010 on my iPod is Opus Eponymous by Ghost. I remember there was panic from Iron Maiden fans thinking the band were going to retire because of the album's title.

Albums I like from 2010 Avenged Sevenfold Nightmare great album Mike Portnoy amazing job on drums honoring The Rev Alter Bridge III great album Isolation, Ghost of days gone by, Slip to the void. Slash self titled solo album. Great album has all sorts of guest stars like Lemmy, Ozzy, Dave Grohl, Myles Kennedy is on two songs Back from Cali, and Starlight Rival Sons EP was released that year a 6 song EP really good songs like Radio, Get what’s coming some great songs

Makes you wonder how much you should believe from all those reviews, doesn’t it?

[@acknowledgingourdiscontent]

I don't understand Bruce Springsteen at all, I thought only yanks appreciated those sonic sleeping pills... :/

[@CrazyCooter-ld6sz]

I don't understand the springsteen worship. That album sucked and every album he's made since sucks. Why would guys from the UK fall for crappy pop rock from chairman leather Bruce?
