These are the best songs of 2010. In other words, these a songs for a Target commercial — 2010!!!
1 Forever and Ever Amen The Drums
So was this in a VW commercial? So I guess they have to win this year. They are on a major label. But that’s ok, cause their album was so good. I only have the patience for one album a year, thankfully there was a good one released this year, this one. This song is about how they are going to have a good career.
This was a really good song. It should be in a commercial for cars. It’s the best “Chinatown” song in my Top 21 list.
I think they signed to a “major label” pretty quick. So they should be on TV commercials soon then. But I like this song cause it’s about how friends are liars or something. They are Wooster Mass where they have lots of bullies and unemployment problems.
4 All Around and Away We Go Twin Sister
It should be in a commercial for food, like Uncle Ben’s with broccoli.
This song is about moving to Southern Carolina. You can buy a house for $50000 there, or so I hear. It’s quite an enticement. This “EP” was very good and soothing.
I think they signed to a major label pretty quick. So they should be on TV commercials soon then. This song could be in a movie at the opening credits with teens having fun in a basement or angst maybe.
This song was the biggest shocker of the year. I couldn’t believe this guy finially wrote a good song, after all those terrible songs. Go Southern Carlonia!
I really like this song. Do you think they will be on a “major label”??? I don’t think so, cause these guys look pretty fucking old, and dudes that age are all down with 1990s indie values of not selling out to a “record label,” even if everything is completely different nowadays.
9 Let’s Fall Asleep Together Teen Daze
This song is really good in a soothing way, although maybe I had to listen to it twice before I realized it. Maybe it shouldn’t be so high on the list cause I’m not sure it should be in a commercial.
This song should be in a commercial for something, but I’m not sure what. Maybe a Nissan van?
11 Golden Haze Wild Nothing
This song is really soothing, I like this guy. I wish I had listened to more of his songs. but I just didnt have the time.
12 The Future The Drums
This song is also The Drums. This one is also about how they are going to be sucessful.
13 Baptism Crystal Castles
This maybe is the start of the dance music section. This song was really good. I thought it sounded too 90s until I realized that was cool. I also liked the video.
14 Bombay El Guincho
I didn’t like this song until I saw the video. Then I realized it was really good.
15 come with me ceo
This song is kind of stupid but then I like it. It should have been in the movie “Inception.”
16 Me And The Moon The Drums
This song is complaining about his girlfriend or something. Haha, it’s a pretty funny song.
17 We Are the Men You’ll Grow to Love Soon Let’s Wrestle
Haha, I need to have a British band, right? It was either these guys or Wu-lyf, but this song is all fun and uplifting, like Wu-lyf, but even more so.
18 Weekend Smith Westerns
This song was just nice. Probably wasn’t better than anything on the Drums album, but whatever.
19 Say No To Love The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
This band should have been disqualified cause they say they refused to be in a commercial, and this song really isn’t that great, but I liked their album from 2009 a lot, so they get in on prestige alone.
20 Round and Round Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti
This song is good too, but kind of stupid. I guess it should be in a commercial for AT&T landlines.
21 Chinatown Destroyer
This song is also good, but in a more gimmicky way than the other Chinatown song, which is objectively good.
