Top Ten Songs of 2010

2. Gorillaz – Stylo

Set to release a follow up album to 2010′s Plastic Beach that is completely recorded on an iPad, Gorillaz have never been your average animated band. Gorillaz are now more internationally famous than Damon Alburn’s original band Blur. Plastic Beach’s first single “Stylo” combines the talents of  Bobby Womack, Mos Def, and Damon Alburn of course.

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

        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…
