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.

#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.

#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.

#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.

#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.

#145 Slash - "We're All Gonna Die" from "Slash" - Iggy Pop provides the vocals on this down n dirty metal song.

#144 David Guetta - "Sound Of Letting Go" from "One More Love" - An outstanding disco / dance track from David Guetta. The vocals provided by Chris Willis is excellent as well.

#143 Kylesa - "To Forget" from "Spiral Shadow" - Among the best heavy metal songs of 2010, Kylesa made a huge splash this year with their prog breakthrough "Spiral Shadow", featuring this song.

#142 Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - "Something Good Coming" from "Mojo" - Sounding like a lost track from "Echo", "Something Good Coming" is an outstanding ballad with great lyrics and a moving chorus.

#141 Nas And Damian Marley - "Dispear" from "Distant Relatives" - Another great collaboration between top representatives from two of popular music's best genres. Marley's half of this song is particularly great.
