For our annual year-end Critics’ Poll, we asked our writers to choose what they believe to be the best and most important releases of the past 12 months. Here are their individual lists, covering CDs and box sets that entered the marketplace between Nov. 1, 2009 and Oct. 31, 2010. Some albums may have slipped through the cracks, however, as official release dates shifted or weren’t available. For the full results, check out our January/February 2011 issue, available now digitally and on newsstands Jan. 4. (Subscribers get theirs earlier.) And check back here next week for additional online-only year-in-review coverage.
