NPR has just revealed their list of what their writers, announcers and musically inclined interns have deemed the 50 best albums of 2010. The list, culled from more than two dozen NPR insiders, varies much more than the recently released NME list of 75 albums (compare and contrast here) which focuses mainly on indie rock and pop music.

Songs from the chosen albums will be played on an upcoming episode of All Songs Considered but for now, you can stream a selection from the NPR site. Don’t agree with the choices? Vote for your personal top ten here and check out the full list after the jump.
