http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWBG1j_flrg&ob=av2e
#9 The National - "Bloodbuzz Ohio" from "High Violet" - 2010 was a breakthrough year for The National, as they finally started to gain some of the sub-mainstream appreciation that they've deserved for the better part of the last decade. "Bloodbuzz Ohio" was a modest hit on the indie charts, but widely appreciated as the best song off their latest album, "High Violet".

#8 Kanye West - "Monster" from "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" - Guest stars Rick Ross, Jay-Z and particularly Nicki Minaj team up with Kanye for yet another classic song from the best rap album of 2010.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLnS-2h_nog
#7 Vampire Weekend - "Cousins" from "Contra" - Vampire Weekend managed to duck the sophomore slump that usually clobbers indie sensations with the release of "Contra", a classic almost as good as their debut album. "Cousins" is the highest-charting song from that album on my list.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e0u11rgd9Q&ob=av2e
#6 The Arcade Fire - "Ready To Start" from "The Suburbs" - A more traditional Arcade Fire song, with the long build-up leading up to a spectacular climax. This song was performed at the end of the Grammys, but the best part of the song got cut off to thank the hotel where the performers were staying. Seriously.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oI27uSzxNQ
#5 Cee Lo Green - "Fuck You" from "The Lady Killer" - Yes, I'm using the original song title rather than the bastardized title that was popular on the radio. Cee Lo turns in the best pop / R&B song of the year with this hooky classic.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc0mxOXbWIU&ob=av2e
#4 LCD Soundsystem - "I Can Change" from "This Is Happening" - James Murphy has decided to stop making music as LCD Soundsystem and he couldn't have quit at a higher point in his career. "I Can Change" is a brilliant indie pop love song in the tradition of Morrissey and the Cure.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tW8FKkVnqng
#3 Kanye West - "Runaway" from "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" - From the arrogant boasting of "Power" to the semi-apologetic ballad "Runaway", Kanye's best album features a variety of different styles that all seem to display a different aspect of his psyche.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm5iA4Zupek
#2 The Arcade Fire - "Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)" from "The Suburbs" - The Arcade Fire have always been a great band and "The Suburbs" is the best of their many great albums. "Sprawl II" is the best song off of the album and is characterized by deep lyrics, great vocals and a style that veers far from what had previously been the Arcade Fire's sound.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ab2DDmwYVQw
#1 Kanye West - "Power" from "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" - As I've suspected for awhile, the #1 song of 2010 is "Power" by Kanye West. Kanye's always had a gift for creating great beats, but it wasn't until "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" that he combined his genius beats with lyrical skills on par with the true greats of the rap world.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouwCWDbBskU
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWBG1j_flrg&ob=av2e
#9 The National - "Bloodbuzz Ohio" from "High Violet" - 2010 was a breakthrough year for The National, as they finally started to gain some of the sub-mainstream appreciation that they've deserved for the better part of the last decade. "Bloodbuzz Ohio" was a modest hit on the indie charts, but widely appreciated as the best song off their latest album, "High Violet".

2010 Song Project - Countdown - #20-#11
#20 The Arcade Fire - "The Suburbs" from "The Suburbs" - The opening track from their epic concept album, "The Suburbs" has a hypnotic bounce to it and, as always, great lyrics.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Euj9f3gdyM
#19 The Roots - "How I Got Over" from "How I Got Over" - Another 2009 holdover, "How I Got Over" is an uplifting hip hop song from the legendary Roots crew.

#16 Blitzen Trapper - "Heaven And Earth" from "Destroyer Of The Void" - "Destroyer Of The Void" is another brilliant album from Blitzen Trapper, one of the most under-rated indie rock bands around and "Heaven And Earth" is their best song of 2010.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI6jrdnUIv8&ob=av2e
#15 Against Me! - "I Was A Teenage Anarchist" from "White Crosses" - Against Me! set a new career high-point with their punk rock anthem about the lead singer's realization about the realities behind anarchist ideology.

#13 Frightened Rabbit - "Swim Until You Can't See Land" from "The Winter Of Mixed Drinks" - The under-rated Scottish indie rock band Frightened Rabbit comes in at #13 with "Swim Until You Can't See Land", a song that is actually up-beat by comparison to some of their earlier classics.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzjERZU3wbY
#12 Sleigh Bells - "Rill Rill" from "Treats" - This song is also known as "Ring Ring", but I prefer the original version which was a little less fuzzy and distorted. This song is the highest-charting repeat from the 2010 list.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmFgejWZjtg&ob=av2n
#11 Johnny Cash - "Ain't No Grave" from "Ain't No Grave" - Johnny Cash has been gone for years now, but the material he produced in his later years continues to be released and most of it is excellent. The title of this song (his best since "Hurt") seems to be entirely accurate.

2010 Song Project - Countdown - #30-#21
#30 Frightened Rabbit - "Nothing Like You" from "The Winter Of Mixed Drinks" - A surprisingly positive outlook permeates Frightened Rabbit's usual gray skies with "Nothing Like You", which sort of comes off as a Cure song as interpreted by Joy Division.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WCskABeyYo
#29 Sleigh Bells - "Crown On The Ground" from "Treats" - A full Hendrix album worth of distortion is packed into this catchy indie pop song from the King and Queen of Indie Noise Rock, Sleigh Bells.

#26 Admiral Fallow - "Squealing Pigs" from "Blalock's Indie Rock Playlist" - Is 2010 the year of the gloomy Scottish indie rock sing-along? Probably not, but here's another brilliant one that slipped past everyone but Blalock and the producers of "Chuck".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB4ZwKaW9kY

#37 The Naked And Famous - "Young Blood" from "Blalock's Indie Rock Playlist" - A hit on the Billboard Modern Rock charts before the song was released on an album, "Young Blood" is one of the best songs off of the 2010 Blalock Indie Rock Playlist.

#58 Vampire Weekend -"Holiday" from "Contra" - As heard in multiple commercials in the last year, "Holiday" has almost allowed Vampire Weekend to permeate the popular culture, whether said p.c. likes it or not.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vraoiVCDdaM&ob=av2e
#57 The Arcade Fire -"City With No Children" from "The Suburbs" - Yet another great song from the year's best concept album.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unwL8TaG8LA
#56 The K-Os -"I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman" from "Yes!" - It seems like every year I find a catchy De La Soul-esque underground hip hop song that's fun, but doesn't take itself too seriously. This year's owner of that crown is The K-O's with their Phantom Planet sampling "I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJAYHOTlilo
#55 Against Me! -"Suffocation" from "White Crosses" - Against Me! is a band that sings revolutionary punk but does so using hooks so catchy that they could have been in a pop song and "Suffocation" is a fine example, as the stabbing chorus makes the song more memorable and accessible than the usual punk fare.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y0us6-PXJg
Note: I picked this video because the parkour is friggin' insane. There's another video out there that's just album cover and lyrics if you prefer.
#54 Daniel Merriweather -"Change" from "Love & War" - When I first listened to Daniel Merriweather's album I had honestly never heard of him and that's surprising because his music is great, starting out with this pop / R&B gem.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvz2PLiHyo4&ob=av2n
#53 Spoon -"Written In Reverse" from "Transference" - Another year, another great indie pop song from Spoon, one of the most reliable artists in the genre.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYWlg9iHHlY
#52 Nas And Damian Marley -"Africa Must Wake Up" from "Distant Relatives" - You would think that Nas' rap style would clash musically with Damian Marley's reggae, but the opposite is true as their sounds flow seamlessly back and forth throughout their first album together. On this, the best track on the album, they get a helping hand from K'naan, one of 2009's most promising new rappers.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKPP9KMS3o0
#51 Los Campesinos! -"There Are Listed Buildings" from "Romance Is Boring" - 2010 was a big year for twee indie-pop band Los Campesinos! as several of their songs made my countdown, with this track being at the top of the heap.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dbs9nzErz4

2010 Song Project - Countdown - #70-#61
#70 Bruno Mars -"Grenade" from "Doo Wops And Hooligans" - 2010 was a great year for Bruno Mars. After spending the past few years writing and contributing guest appearances on some of the best pop songs around, Mars released his debut solo album and it was filled with brilliant R&B songs and pop ballads like "Grenade", his best song to date.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR6iYWJxHqs&ob=av2e
#69 Bone Thugs N Harmony -"Rebirth" from "Uni5: The World's Enemy" - It's been quite awhile since "Tha Crossroads", but what made BTNH great then still makes them great, as they continue to be one of the best hip hop groups around with great hooks and fast-paced, highly addictive lyrical flow.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsBV-P9gIC0&ob=av2e
#68 Good Shoes -"I Know" from "No Hope, No Future" - It seems that it wouldn't be one of my countdowns if it didn't feature at least one aggressively subversive anti-religious protest song. "I Know" is a fast-paced punk song with outstanding lyrics.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMS8HPbNmNI
#67 The Court Yard Hounds -"It Didn't Make A Sound" from "It Didn't Make A Sound" - One of the top country songs of 2010, "It Didn't Make A Sound" is highlighted by a fantastic, ridiculously catchy hook in the chorus and great vocals and lyrics throughout.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wn-Ua0VPDA
#66 Ke$ha -"TiK ToK" from "Animal" - It's not going to win any songwriting awards, but "TiK ToK" is one of the best pop songs of 2010 with a pulsing backbeat and a bouncy chorus.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP6XpLQM2Cs&ob=av2n
#65 Katy Perry -"Teenage Dream" from "Teenage Dream" - Don't get me wrong, I despise almost every Katy Perry song, but when she gets her hands on a decent hook, she knocks it out of the park. "Teenage Dream" is simply a great pop song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98WtmW-lfeE&ob=av2e
#64 Robyn -"Hang With Me" from "Body Talk" - Robyn is the rare pop singer who earns respect from the indie crowd for her clever lyrics and extraordinary hooks. "Hang With Me" doesn't get the hype some of her other songs from 2010 get, but it's her best of the year in my opinion.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3a2qoyONVA&ob=av2e
#63 Vampire Weekend -"Giving Up The Gun" from "Contra" - Light and breezy even for a Vampire Weekend song, "Giving Up The Gun" was one of the band's biggest hits of 2010.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bccKotFwzoY&ob=av2e
#62 One Night Only -"Say You Don't Want It" from "One Night Only" - Every year needs a glossy Brit-pop anthem that comes out of nowhere and achieves greatness and this year it's "Say You Don't Want It".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF1WzzrLmpk&ob=av2e
#61 Grinderman -"Worm Tamer" from "Grinderman II" - Nick Cave's current band Grinderman puts their highest-charting song on the countdown with this crunchy, industrial nightmare.

2010 Song Project - Countdown - #80-#71
#80 Nas And Damian Marley - "As We Enter" from "Distant Relatives" - The best song off of "Distant Relatives", Nas is the driving force in this song, but Damian Marley proves to be outstanding at keeping up with one of the best rappers in the game.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyY70LE2D-Y
#79 Janelle Monae - "Cold War" from "The Arch Android" - One of the best R&B songs of 2010, Janelle Monae captures the musical spirit of her mentor, Prince, and creates a fun, peppy R&B / pop song with a great chorus.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqmORiHNtN4&ob=av2e
#78 The Klaxons - "Surfing The Void" from "Surfing The Void" - A crazy electronic-influenced indie rock song with swirling guitars and wild vocals.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg-cgsCQhEU
#77 Ted Leo And The Pharmacists - "Last Days" from "The Brutalist Bricks" - Ted Leo's highest-charting song of the year (or any year), "Last Days" is a high-intensity alt rock song with a driving pulse and a cathartic chorus.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TRAJbSuld4
#76 My Chemical Romance - "Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)" from "Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys" - Aggressive and intense, "Na Na Na" is an exciting in-your-face punk rock song that servces as the key statement piece from the "Danger Days" album.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egG7fiE89IU
#75 Grinderman - "When My Baby Comes" from "Grinderman II" - Nick Cave's signature style permeates throughout this gloomy, grinding classic from "Grinderman II".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIgLDLHiYUs
#74 Cults - "Oh My God" from "Blalock's Indie Rock Playlist" - Cults is expected to be one of the biggest new indie pop acts of 2011, but a few of their songs were released to the IRP during 2010, including this light, ethereal slice of indie pop. The lead vocals add a sunny, dreamy tone to the song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd8Lk6lrLpU
#73 Aloe Blacc - "I Need A Dollar" from "Good Things" - "I Need A Dollar" is famous for being the theme song to HBO's "How To Make It In America", but more than just being a theme song, it's also a cleverly written blues song that could have belonged to an era of music from the last 50 years.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUWZ_OAEgQE&ob=av2n
#72 Michael Jackson - "(I Can't Make It) Another Day" from "Michael" - Lenny Kravitz guest stars on this song, continuing a tradition of MJ hiring the best guitar players in the world to add an edge to his pop songs (Eddie Van Halen, Slash). I don't know how much MJ recorded before his death, but this may end up being his last great song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPKKDNo4luI
#71 April Smith And The Great Picture Show - "Colors" from "Blalock's Indie Rock Playlist" - A fun and bouncy indie pop song with Rilo Kiley-esque vocals and one of the hookiest choruses of the year.

2010 Song Project - Countdown - #90-#81
#90 Big Boi - "Daddy Fat Sax" from "Sir Lucious Left Foot… The Son Of Chico Dusty" - Another brilliant hip hop song from Big Boi. There are a lot of them on this album...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJtJ3eLRZS0
#89 The New Pornographers - "Crash Years" from "Together" - 2010 was a great year for indie pop and the New Pornographers were one of the best acts, placing several songs on the 2010 countdown, with the hooky "Crash Years" ranking the highest.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KZANuDcRO4
#88 Ryan Star - "Brand New Day" from "11:59" - This song has a timeless feeling to it, but that's probably because it's been floating around for five years (or because it's the theme song for "Lie To Me"). It is an excellent pop rock song though, so it's good that it finally gets its recognition.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj3dDjL4p98
#87 Hole - "Nobody's Daughter" from "Nobody's Daughter" - The title track from Hole's latest album, "Nobody's Daughter" is an excellent throwback to 90's alternative rock with great lyrics and dark undertones.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDKS0OjFSJ8
#86 The Lighthouse And The Whaler - "Under Mountain, Under Ground" from "Blalock's Indie Rock Playlist" - Fleet Foxes didn't release any music in 2010, but you'd never know that after hearing this outstanding indie folk song from The Lighthouse And The Whaler, which captures the essence of FF's sound and alters it enough to make a distinct statement.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuCEPmrUb34
#85 Bruno Mars - "Just The Way You Are" from "Doo Wops And Hooligans" - One of the biggest pop hits of 2010, "Just The Way You Are" is a nearly perfect pop love song, sincere without being treacly and catchy without being irritating.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjhCEhWiKXk&ob=av2e
#84 Broken Bells - "The Ghost Inside" from "Broken Bells" - An excellent follow-up to "The High Road", "The Ghost Inside" is a catchy indie pop collaboration between James Mercer of the Shins and DJ Danger Mouse.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVxTsXRjNTw&ob=av2e
#83 Joan Armatrading - "This Charming Life" from "This Charming Life" - This song seems like it belongs to a different era, specifically the soul music of the mid-to-late 60's when singers like Aretha Franklin and The Staples Singers produced this kind of golden soul song on a consistent basis, but "This Charming Life" (prominently featured on the season finale of "Sons Of Anarchy") was released in 2010, representing a major comeback for Armatrading.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsRnwJ57hp0&ob=av2e
#82 Vampire Weekend - "Jonathan Low" from "Twilight: Eclipse Soundtrack" - It seems like everything Vampire Weekend touches turns to gold, whether it be a song for one of their own albums or this 80's-tinged song from the soundtrack of the latest Twilight abomination.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eMw0Bq-tek
#81 Alberta Cross - "Leave Us And Forgive Us" from "Broken Side Of Time" - A returning song from the 2009 list, "Leave Us" is an intense alt rock song from the obscure band Alberta Cross. The song starts out slowly, but builds to high level of intensity by the chorus.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oB55Ixdu70

2010 Song Project - Countdown - #100-#91
#100 The New Pornographers - "Sweet Talk, Sweet Talk" from "Together" - An excellent indie pop song, one of the year's best from The New Pornographers.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3uFCeDnBPk&ob=av3n
#99 Isobel Campbell And Mark Lanegan - "Come Undone" from "Hawk" - A slow-burn alt rock duet from one of the best and most unusual duos in modern rock n roll.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F2oEpif-6k
#98 Kanye West - "Dark Fantasy" from "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" - Nicki Minaj opens the song with a crazy poem and from there the song becomes a perfect starting point for one of the greatest hip hop albums of all-time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-qKboHKPEA
#97 LCD Soundsystem - "Drunk Girls" from "This Is Happening" - On the surface, this sounds like a cheesy pop song, but it's actually a brilliantly sardonic look at the club scene.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY7-0W0celo&ob=av2n
#96 Titus Andronicus - "Four Score Part Two" from "The Monitor" - The condensed version of a much longer song, "Four Score Part Two" features desperate vocals driven forward by machine-gun drums and a heavy guitar riff.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etOLciQBvV8
#95 Prince - "Bonus Track #77" from "20Ten" - It's a shame that this funky pop song, Prince's best in a decade, doesn't have an actual title, so it'll probably never be heard by the masses.
Damn you, Prince. This song is great, but I can't post a link if you won't let youtube host your videos.
#94 Eminem - "Won't Back Down" from "Recovery" - Pink sings the chorus on this tight, aggressive return to form from one of the best rappers of all-time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5h9_L98H84U
#93 Burn Before Reading - "Markers" from "Blalock's Indie Rock Playlist" - There are actually six songs from Blalock's list that ranked higher than this song, but this darkly intense song is definitely one that might have been missed completely without the IRP.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKthiG7d3Dw
#92 Marina And The Diamonds - "I Am Not A Robot" from "The Family Jewels" - Marina is pretty much Lady Gaga without the insane hype. "I Am Not A Robot" is the band's best song so far, but they have style and a unique sound, so the future looks pretty bright from here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_oMD6-6q5Y
#91 The Whigs - "Kill Me Carolyne" from "In The Dark" - Considering the band had three songs from their last album in the top 25 (I think) in 2008, their follow-up has to be considered a disappointment, but "Kill Me Carolyne" is on par with the band's best music and one of the best alt rock songs of 2010.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIIw_b1BNew
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3uFCeDnBPk&ob=av3n

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY7-0W0celo&ob=av2n
#96 Titus Andronicus - "Four Score Part Two" from "The Monitor" - The condensed version of a much longer song, "Four Score Part Two" features desperate vocals driven forward by machine-gun drums and a heavy guitar riff.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etOLciQBvV8
#95 Prince - "Bonus Track #77" from "20Ten" - It's a shame that this funky pop song, Prince's best in a decade, doesn't have an actual title, so it'll probably never be heard by the masses.
Damn you, Prince. This song is great, but I can't post a link if you won't let youtube host your videos.
#94 Eminem - "Won't Back Down" from "Recovery" - Pink sings the chorus on this tight, aggressive return to form from one of the best rappers of all-time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5h9_L98H84U
#93 Burn Before Reading - "Markers" from "Blalock's Indie Rock Playlist" - There are actually six songs from Blalock's list that ranked higher than this song, but this darkly intense song is definitely one that might have been missed completely without the IRP.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKthiG7d3Dw
#92 Marina And The Diamonds - "I Am Not A Robot" from "The Family Jewels" - Marina is pretty much Lady Gaga without the insane hype. "I Am Not A Robot" is the band's best song so far, but they have style and a unique sound, so the future looks pretty bright from here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_oMD6-6q5Y
#91 The Whigs - "Kill Me Carolyne" from "In The Dark" - Considering the band had three songs from their last album in the top 25 (I think) in 2008, their follow-up has to be considered a disappointment, but "Kill Me Carolyne" is on par with the band's best music and one of the best alt rock songs of 2010.

The Beastie Boys - Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 - A+
2010 Song Project - Countdown - #110-#101
#110 Devo - "Don't Shoot (I'm A Man)" from "Something For Everybody" - Devo's surprising comeback reaches its peak with the trippy "Don't Shoot" at #110.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKxhlXZ3hcY
#109 The Black Keys - "Howlin' For You" from "Brothers" - The Black Keys have been the reigning champs of blues rock since The White Stripes broke up and "Howlin' For You" ranks amongst their best songs overall.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLSpj7q6_mM&ob=av2e
#108 Reflection Eternal - "Back Again" from "Revolutions Per Minute" - Fast hip hop lyrics mix with a R&B ballad chorus for one of the best songs on "Revolutions Per Minute".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziuEUUC61H8&ob=av2e
#107 Serj Tankian - "Left Of Center" from "Imperfect Harmonies" - The best System Of A Down song in years, "Left Of Center' is an intense heavy metal punch to the face.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uh7tsMKv0Lo&ob=av2e
Note: The video is insane and reminds me of the Tool videos from the mid-90's.
#106 The Dead Weather - "Die By The Drop" from "Sea Of Cowards" - Jack Black's most White Stripe-y song with The Dead Weather, "Die By The Drop" is a hooky blues rock song with a creeping backbeat that bleeds into pure classic rock a minute in.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0YI0UUazkU&ob=av2e
#105 The Arcade Fire - "Modern Man" from "The Suburbs" - Yet another soul-searching / depressing indie rock song about the despair of modern life from the classic concept album, "The Suburbs".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xjm8WDG-Gy8
#104 M.I.A. - "Born Free" from "Maya" - Now this is the M.I.A. that everyone hoped to here from on "Maya". "Born Free" is bombastic, in your face and fun with just enough weirdness to make it stand out in a crowd.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeMvUlxXyz8&ob=av2e
#103 Stone Temple Pilots - "Between The Lines" from "Stone Temple Pilots" - The pulse-pounding modern rock song that signaled the long-awaited return of STP, which lasted for a little less than a year, but at least they finished an album full of great glam rock like this song first.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzS590AkE6c&ob=av2e
#102 Soundgarden - "Black Rain" from "Telephantasm" - "Black Rain" was more of a teaser for the Soundgarden comeback than the comeback itself, but the song still ranks in the pantheon of great Soundgarden songs and shows that they're still one of the best heavy metal bands in the world, even after taking more than a year off.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K913KVe3kH8&ob=av2e
#101 Black Milk - "Black And Brown" from "Album Of The Year" - A high-intensity hip hop song with great flow and in-your-face lyrical style.

#120 Slash - "By The Sword" from "Slash" - Andrew Stockdale, the gale-force wailer from Wolfmother, provides the vocals on "By The Sword", the best song on Slash's outstanding self-titled album.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwENuEZ7XPc&ob=av3e
#119 My Chemical Romance - "Sing" from "Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys" - An over-the-top anthem that served as the centerpiece of the "Danger Days" concept album, "Sing" was also something of a crossover hit for MCR, getting so mainstream it was even featured on "Glee".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTgnDLWeeaM&ob=av2e
#118 The Constellations - "We're Here To Save The Day" from "Southern Gothic" - Asher Roth and a children's choir guest star on this gritty, creeping hip hop song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-vqTBS7Hwc
#117 Reflection Eternal - "Ballad Of The Black Gold" from "Revolutions Per Minute" - Talib Kweli gets aggressively political on this assault on the oil industry and the damage it's done to the world. It takes real skill to take a political rant worthy of Spike Lee or Oliver Stone and turn it into a pop song, but if anyone could ever do it, it would be Kweli.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phzHbzMu7E4&ob=av3e
#116 Against Me! - "Bitter Divisions" from "White Crosses" - Another political song comes in at #116, but this one comes from reformed anarchist Tom Gabel and Against Me!. The chorus is a call to unity, but the verses lend the skepticism of the current political environment as a counter-argument.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsMlYXQ4P0o
#115 My Chemical Romance - "Bulletproof Heart" from "Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys" - The latest indie glam rock track from MCR's concept album, "Bulletproof Heart" is a hooky song with a driving guitar track.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--0XPGid7JY
#114 Teenage Fanclub - "Baby Lee" from "Shadows" - It's been awhile since we've heard from Teenage Fanclub. "Baby Lee" is an excellent light-toned indie pop song that sounds like it was a lost Kinks track from the British Invasion.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6UuoS7kd-g
#113 Iron Maiden - "Coming Home" from "The Final Frontier" - "Coming Home" is as close as Iron Maiden is likely to get to singing a heavy metal ballad. It's amazing that the band can still create music this great after spending 30 years in a genre not reknowned for it's longevity.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPlCp-eko7I
#112 Fang Island - "Daisy" from "Fang Island" - "Daisy" is a difficult song to describe, but it features swirling guitars, pounding drumbeats and rapid-fire light-hearted lyrics. They share elements with distortion-heavy bands like Sleigh Bells and My Bloody Valentine, but also surf-pop bands like The Drums.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIurAP4yHtQ
#111 Kid Cudi - "Revofev" from "Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager" - Kid Cudi's best song off of "Man On The Moon II", "Revofev" is a head-bouncing hip hop song with a hypnotic beat.

2010 Song Project - Countdown - #130-#121
#130 Neon Trees - "Animal" from "Habit" - One of the biggest modern rock hits of 2010 (and 2009 for that matter), "Animal" is a light-hearted, hooky pop rock song with a stadium rock caliber chorus.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM7Hlg75Mlo&ob=av2e
#129 Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - "First Flash Of Freedom" from "Mojo" - A slow-tempo classic rock style song from Tom Petty with the usual great lyrics and some excellent guitar solos from Mike Campbell.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0JwsooTM6M
#128 The Court Yard Hounds - "Then Again" from "It Didn't Make A Sound" - A hooky country pop song from The Court Yard Hounds, featuring several members of the Dixie Chicks. Not quite their best song from 2010, but close.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxmpwWPaYU0
#127 Vampire Weekend - "Diplomat's Son" from "Contra" - There's definitely an African world music vibe to this light, airy indie pop song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyHU5k4Elts
#126 Eminem - "No Love" from "Recovery" - Eminem and Lil Wayne trade verses on this Haddaway-sampling hip hop "ballad".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV2ssT8lzj8&ob=av2e
#125 Stone Temple Pilots - "Hickory Dichotomy" from "Stone Temple Pilots" - Can a song be grimy and glam at the same time? Hard to say, but if such a thing were possible, it would definitely be on an STP album. "Hickory" certainly comes close to that description with grimy lyrics and a glam rock chorus.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxWcndzhAbc
#124 Katy Perry - "California Gurls" from "Teenage Dream" - Snoop Dogg guest stars on Katy Perry's other outstanding pop song from 2010. The verses are mediocre, but the chorus ranks among the best of the year.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F57P9C4SAW4&ob=av2e
#123 Band Of Horses - "Factory" from "Infinite Arms" - An indie pop ballad from "Infinite Arms", "Factory" ranks among the best songs from Band Of Horses, one of the most under-appreciated bands in pop music.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m0Iein_nuc
#122 Melissa Etheridge - "Drag Me Away" from "Fearless Love" - No one does classic rock bombast quite as well as Melissa Etheridge and "Drag Me Away" is the best song off of her comeback album "Fearless Love".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p8r-CSzdbg&playnext=1&list=PL7F83EC19542287C6
Note: I have no idea why the person who created the video for this used footage from Kill Bill, but the only other video I saw featured a frickin' terrier.
#121 Frightened Rabbit - "Foot Shooter" from "The Winter Of Mixed Drinks" - An up-tempo indie rock song that builds to the first chorus and refuses to slow down once it gets there.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOl-SOxXyPY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM7Hlg75Mlo&ob=av2e

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6VatNuR_Uk
#135 MGMT - "Brian Eno" from "Congratulations" - "Congratulations" was a bit of a disappointing follow-up to "Oracular Spectacular" and I can't Say I endorse all the directions the band went on the album, but "Brian Eno" is a genius pop song that ranks amongst the band's best ("Kids", "Time To Pretend").
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M30WPeyEY40

The Airborne Toxic Event - All At Once - A+
The Limousines - Get Sharp - A+
The Limousines - Get Sharp - A+
2010 Song Project - Countdown - #150-#141
#150 Kanye West - "Christian Dior Denim Flow" from "Good Friday" - Kid Cudi, Pusha T, John Legend, Ryan Leslie and Lloyd Banks guest star on this massive R&B / rap song. This is one of a handful of Kanye songs released in 2010 as part of his "Good Friday" twitter project. Many of those songs ended up on his album in some capacity, but a few (including this song) weren't.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twPlTFyVDdE
#149 Infant Sorrow - "Bangers, Beans And Mash" from "Get Him To The Greek" - This song would have worked on it's own as a monster ballad, but what makes it's great is the hilarious lyrics which completely change the meaning of the song, but only if you pay close enough attention to figure out what Russell Brand is actually singing about.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlZqtqWPJzM
#148 Big Boi - "Turns Me On" from "Sir Lucious Left Foot… The Son Of Chico Dusty" - A sexy hip hop song with typically outstanding lyrics from Big Boi and a great chorus.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwaUNbuhdKo
#147 Anais Mitchell - "Way Down, Hadestown" from "Hadestown" - One of the most unsual songs on the 2010 countdown, "Hadestown" sounds like a song that could have been written 100 years ago with its distinct New Orleans sound.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcZPTp-F0nE
#146 B.O.B. - "Magic" from "B.O.B. Presents: The Adventures Of Bobby Ray" - Rivers Cuomo was all over the radio in 2010, with yet another solid album with his band Weezer and providing the chorus on this song from B.O.B., one of the up and coming pop star's best songs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cq-NShfefks&ob=av2e
#145 Slash - "We're All Gonna Die" from "Slash" - Iggy Pop provides the vocals on this down n dirty metal song.

#149 Infant Sorrow - "Bangers, Beans And Mash" from "Get Him To The Greek" - This song would have worked on it's own as a monster ballad, but what makes it's great is the hilarious lyrics which completely change the meaning of the song, but only if you pay close enough attention to figure out what Russell Brand is actually singing about.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlZqtqWPJzM
#148 Big Boi - "Turns Me On" from "Sir Lucious Left Foot… The Son Of Chico Dusty" - A sexy hip hop song with typically outstanding lyrics from Big Boi and a great chorus.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwaUNbuhdKo
#147 Anais Mitchell - "Way Down, Hadestown" from "Hadestown" - One of the most unsual songs on the 2010 countdown, "Hadestown" sounds like a song that could have been written 100 years ago with its distinct New Orleans sound.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcZPTp-F0nE
#146 B.O.B. - "Magic" from "B.O.B. Presents: The Adventures Of Bobby Ray" - Rivers Cuomo was all over the radio in 2010, with yet another solid album with his band Weezer and providing the chorus on this song from B.O.B., one of the up and coming pop star's best songs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cq-NShfefks&ob=av2e

2010 Song Project - Countdown - #160-#151
#160 The Constellations - "Felicia" from "Southern Gothic" - A funky pop song with a hooky chorus.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X46e4Qnr1TY&ob=av2e
#159 Take That - "Affirmation" from "Progress" - The most unlikely song on the 2010 countdown, Take That's reunion album was mostly unremarkable, but "Affirmation" sounds like one of those great synth rock songs from the 80's (think Tears For Fears or Flock of Seagulls).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQIPEC46TUQ
#158 Vampire Weekend - "White Sky" from "Contra" - Another great song from Vampire Weekend's classic album "Contra", "White Sky" has a light afro-pop sound to it and the usual great lyrics.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhdqfX44zUM
#157 Frightened Rabbit - "Not Miserable" from "The Winter Of Mixed Drinks" - Frightened Rabbit adopted an sweeping epic sound on "The Winter of Mixed Drinks" and that sound is best illustrated when Edge-like guitars start swirling around the chorus of this brilliant track, one of the band's best.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kv0xsCh6ZOg
#156 Marina And The Diamonds - "Girls" from "The Family Jewels" - One of the countdown's wildest acts, Marina and The Diamonds is as over-the-top as Mika and as radio-friendly as Robyn. "Girls" is a fun high-wire act of a pop song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O2W18RE6nI
#155 Ted Leo And The Pharmacists - "Where Was My Brain" from "The Brutalist Bricks" - A lean and mean punk song from one of the best underground artists in indie rock. The title of this album is derived from a lyric in this song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M64ZjKOLm8o
#154 The Gaslight Anthem - "American Slang" from "American Slang" - The title track from The Gaslight Anthem's breakthrough (if not mainstream at least underground) album, "American Slang" is one of the best songs from the Springsteen influenced rock act in 2010.

#152 Band Of Horses - "On My Way Back Home" from "Infinite Arms" - The most roots rock song on "Infinite Arms", "On My Way" could have been a track from a Fleet Foxes album with its great lyrics and tone.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmVlHNDk_hM
#151 Los Campesinos! - "Straight In At 101" from "Romance Is Boring" - A high-energy indie pop song with some deceptively filthy lyrics hidden in the light-hearted beatsand tone. "I think we need more post-coital and less post-rock" ranks among the best lyrics of 2010.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhTKKtdxKOY

2010 Song Project - Countdown - #170-#161
#170 Vampire Weekend - "I Think Ur A Contra" from "Contra" - The closest VW has ever come to writing a ballad, "I Think Ur A Contra" is a solid change of pace from a mostly up-tempo band.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRmNmoIPxWE
#169 Prince - "Compassion" from "20Ten" - 2010 saw Prince return to the funky style of music (like "Compassion") that made him one of the biggest stars in the world in the 80's. It's not the most unexpected comeback of the year, but it was a very welcome surprise.
Prince's songs aren't available on youtube.
#168 The Audio Bullys - "Only Man" from "Higher Than The Eiffel" - Not quite trip hop, but there are definitely elements of the genre in this aggressive dance rock track from Audio Bullys.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yD0KEi554c
#167 The New Pornographers - "Moves" from "Together" - "Moves" is one of the best indie pop songs of 2010 and a perfect example of the vocal dynamics at play in the New Pornographers sound.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYyu5vbwvbA
#166 My Chemical Romance - "Planetary (Go!)" from "Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys" - One of the most successful songs off of "Danger Days", "Planetary" is a vintage glam-punk song in the MCR tradition.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvfNmXbVHi4
#165 Travie McCoy - "Billionaire" from "Lazarus" - One of the biggest pop songs of 2010, "Billionaire" was written by and features guest vocals from Bruno Mars. Mars' vocals are the highlight of the song, but Travie's lyrics are also fun and the song has an upbeat reggae beat to it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aRor905cCw&ob=av2e
#164 The Paper Tongues - "Trinity" from "The Paper Tongues" - Another song making a re-appearance from the 2009 list, "Trinity" is an obscure alt rock song from a band that has yet to reach these heights again. The sweeping chorus is the highlight of the song to be sure.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOBay3G4aQU&ob=av2e
#163 LCD Soundsystem - "All I Want" from "This Is Happening" - The first of four brilliant songs from LCD Soundsystem's farewell album, "All I Want" is a driving indie pop ballad.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6BYCcy5aeo
#162 Kelis - "Acapella" from "Flesh Tone" - Kelis isn't a prominent artist in my countdowns to date, but "Acapella" is a great R&B dance track with a pulsing beat and a hooky chorus.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8D9xCBcfzw&ob=av2e
#161 Sleigh Bells - "Riot Rhythm" from "Treats" - "Riot Rhythm" finds the tiny middle ground between distortion rock and radio-friendly pop thanks to the sharp guitar riff that drives the song and the bouncy lyrics.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ld-0na1mpI
