Top Ten Songs of 2010

Posted on December 10, 2010 by John Vasko

1. Janelle Monáe - Tightrope

Where did this girl come from? Janelle, you’re not in Kansas anymore and you obviously never belonged there in the first place. The first time I saw the video for “Tightrope”, I was hooked. Peformed with Outkast’s Big Boi, “Tightrope” is part R&B, part jazz, part hip-hop, and all soul. It’s the most infectious pop song I’ve heard in a long time. Enjoy..

Wait, there’s more, Check out The Best of the Rest.

Stay tuned. My top albums will be published soon.

You’re welcome Vdoll! What do you think of my list?

vdoll

it’s a great list, but what happened to Florence & the Machine and the XX? how could they be omitted? (or was the xx from 2009?

The XX is from ’09 and while I like “Dog Days are Over”, it just didn’t make the cut.

Overall though, I don’t really care much for Florence’s voice. The album grates on me if I try listening from start to finish. There are a couple of good singles on it though.

I guess the effect of Florence on you is similar to Adele on me….but I love Florence’s voice, Adi must like it, no?

Nice list John. We didn’t end up picking a common song this year. Here is my Top 42 of 2010. I made it a Youtube playlist: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=7ECC0ABD21D252A0 Say hi to Pavel from me.

Thanks for the comment. I’m listening to your playlist right now. I know
most of it or have heard of most of the artists. Love the GA track. Heard
that in the Nike Store and used Shazam to determine what it was. Had
listened to the album but must not have been listening closely toward the
end. Amazing track. Reminds me a lot of Bronski Beat…
