2010 Song Project - Countdown - #360-#351

#360 Nas And Damian Marley - "Strong Will Continue" from "Distant Relatives" - Nas and Damian Marley are as strange a combination as rap and reggae, but when they trade verses it works amazingly well.

#359 Girls - "Broken Dreams Club" from "Broken Dreams Club" - A well-written downer from the masters of depressing (but not emo) indie pop.

#357 Jay Electronica - "Exhibit C" from "Blalock's Indie Rock Playlist" - One of the most promising new artists in hip hop, Jay Electronica debuts with a bang with "Exhibit C", one of the best rap songs of the year.

#356 Far - "Pony" from "At Night We Live" - A cover of Ginuwine's filthy R&B classic by a rock band that nails the vibe of the original song without getting too cheesy.

#355 Hole - "Pacific Coast Highway" from "Nobody's Daughter" - Courtney Love will be a magnet for the hatred of Nirvana fans until the day she stops making music, but it's
impossible to ignore the continued quality of songs like "Pacific Coast Highway", a slower song that a lesser artist would fumble but Courtney nails.

#354 Gorillaz - "Pirate Jet" from "Plastic Beach" - A short song, but crunchy enough to get the job done in the little time it was afforded.

#353 Wolf Parade - "What Did My Lover Say? (It Always Had To Go This Way)" from "Expo 86" - A slow build to an intense chorus highlights this excellent alt rock song from Wolf Parade.

#352 Stone Temple Pilots - "Dare If You Dare" from "Stone Temple Pilots" - More great glam / alt rock from STP with a great chorus.

#351 Duffy - "Breath Away" from "Endlessly" - Duffy's follow-up wasn't as successful as
her last album, but it still produced this blue-eyed soul classic.
