Your top 3 songs of 2010

Recommended Posts

I know we have about 8 or 9 weeks left of this year, but generally there aren't too many massive hits released towards the end of the year (I may be proved wrong, but never mind!)

My top 3 are.....

3) Steve Aoki Ft Zuper Blahq - I'm In The House

Right - after a little bit of deliberating I have my top 3, I've tried to steer clear of some of the more obvious choices and pick 3 songs that reflect my tastes a bit more accurately:

3 - Radar Detector by Darwin Deez:

<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pbdLqTh_x4?fs=1&hl=en_GB&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pbdLqTh_x4?fs=1&hl=en_GB&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

2 - Ivy & Gold by Bombay Bicycle Club:

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbrkYVwTcQ8?fs=1&hl=en_GB&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbrkYVwTcQ8?fs=1&hl=en_GB&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

1 - Let's Go Surfing by The Drums:

<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeZbbx5SPTs?fs=1&hl=en_GB&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeZbbx5SPTs?fs=1&hl=en_GB&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

All very good songs that for whatever reason remain criminally underrated.

Oh Lordy, I can barely remember what has been released this year! I think Promise This by Chezza has to be in there somewhere, and probably something by Marina. I shall get back to this when I have contemplated!

Alouette...deployer les ailes;

Alouette...plumerai les ailes.

Example: Watch the Sun Come Up

Marina and The Diamonds: Shampain

Hurts: Silver Lining.

It was quite hard to narrow it down to just 3...

Gah. Should have had another set as well!

XX: VCR

FATM: Dog Days are Over (re-release)

The Count and Synden feat. Mystery Jets: After Dark.

Only 3? Tricky one this. I agree with almost all of the above esp. Pendulum, Example and Helen's choices. So I'll pop up something different. Pretty mainstream R1 playlist stuff, but I think they are all good.

Mark Ronson, Bang Bang Bang. I know it's been played to death, but it's a pretty original song.

The xx, VCR. Reminds me a bit of The Vevet Underground, who I love. Might just be 2009, If so, I'll go with Crystalised.

Cee Lo Green, F*ck You. Another one that's been played to within an inch of its life, but the original (rude) version together with the video is really good. I love this man's voice.

Like Magnetic Man and Miike Snow too this year.

3) Kelis - 4th of July (Fireworks)

2) Two Door Cinema Club - Undercover Martyn

1) David Guetta ft. Kid Cudi - Memories

They spring to mind right now, but other good ones are Prayin by Plan B, Up In the Clouds by Darwin Deez, In My System by Tinchy Stryder and (It's Not War) Just the End of Love by the Manics.

In no particular order, partially based on what I've listened to most (so say my Last.FM account):

Deadmau5 - "Sofi Needs A Ladder"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kWIJL2f0ys

KoRn - "Pop A Pill"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJmw7CAJGlQ

Stone Temple Pilots - "Between The Lines"

http://vimeo.com/11588637

Honourable mentioned to "Fuck You" by Cee-Lo Green, "Tenderoni" by Kele, and "You Make The Rain Fall" by Kevin Rudolf.

Completely different bands for album of the year, though...

one has got to be 'burns & fred falke - you stopped loving me':-

I'll have to have a think as some of the songs I might choose may have been earlier than this year (I also thought Bonkers was last year, but that Dizzee's kept it's popularity up with his live performances of it)

First one I can think of is Darwin Deez - Radar Detector. I'll come back and add more later/do another post.

Was it? I first heard it in 2010 and thought it's quite new... But when I posted it, I was too lazy to search if it's the actual year.. :D
