I'll be posting all parts...probably just 2 in total...in here, don't worry
 but basically this is a thread where I'll chart the great and not-so-great of 2010. I've been working quite stressfully towards my top 50 songs of the year, which I'll be posting first, and my top 30 albums. -reckons this'll go unnoticed but meh-

I am surprised you have managed to think of 50 to be honest, I'd struggle to pick 10 this year

Nah

when Shaun posts a music review, you know some bad ass taste will pop up. It gives me faith in humanity because yes, there still are people who like good music.
 and yeah, I agree with Novo, 2010 has been pretty bad in terms of quality.

GaGa would have come top in this had she released Bad Romance in '10

#50: Jamiroquai - White Knuckle Ride
From what I make of him, he's quite an easily hateable personality - what with the fast cars, numerous conquests and rich lifestyle. But he's pretty much a dance music legend, and whilst this year saw a slightly eggfaced comeback thanks to the musical pariahs that are The X Factor female judges, this song was just bloody cool. #49: Neon Trees - Animal They never really took off this side of the Atlantic but I'm told they've cut it in the US. But Neon Trees' debut single this year was this, a ridiculously catchy and endearing song. #48: Belle and Sebastian - I'm Not Living in the Real World Sorry ILoveTRW. Anyway - their sound is usually a lot more self-glorifyingly indie and downbeat, but this album's proved a lovely turn of events - vibrant, singalong, happy. #47: Gorillaz - On Melancholy Hill I thoroughly take back my overhyped review of Plastic Beach this year. Diverse it may have been, but few songs have had longevity - this being one of the lucky few. #46: The Drums - Let's Go Surfing A rather catchy tune indeed. Sort of like the Beach Boys meet Joy Division. On a good day. If Curtis had good days. #45: My Chemical Romance - Na Na Na I was thinking this would be higher up upon release, but its energy has deteriorated somewhat. Nonetheless, MCR's return has been full of angsty energy and this single was pretty exciting. #44: Ellie Goulding - Guns and Horses Under the Sheets would've made an appearance had it not been 2009 - but this is one of Goulding's few songs that haven't gone on to be massively irritating. 'Your Song' can get out. #43: M.I.A. - Meds and Feds Sampling a Sleigh Bells song (and let's face it, she has every right to since, as producer, she made them), M.I.A.'s 2010 album was full of angry noise and this was one of the particularly exciting tracks. #42: The Go! Team - T.O.R.N.A.D.O. Absolutely insane. #41: Groove Armada - History (feat. Will Young) I was apprehensive about the idea of Will Young on a dance track - but it works perfectly. Somewhat similar to "Smalltown Boy" by Bronski Beat, Young's vocals give it a fresh new twist.

#40: Coldplay - Christmas Lights
It's only just come out and I initially was disappointed. But I can tell it'll continue to grow like a festive tumour. It doesn't break new ground - it's just comforting, safe, lovely Coldplay. #39: The Smashing Pumpkins - Tom Tom It has a very Manic Street Preachers vibe - but less hateful frontmen. It's essentially the process of refocussing a distorted psychedelic mess - giving it progression, a nice rhythm and still maintaining a little exploration. #38: Lissie - Little Lovin' If you want a pleasant, attractive young girl doing country-tinged music then **** Taylor Swift, download Lissie's album. Her voice has a great tone to it, and the songs are laidback and soulsearching. #37: Robyn - Dancing On My Own It's never going to pick up an award, and it's more of the same Robyn - but it's a niche I enjoy. It's over the top emotion set to a thumping tune and I love it regardless. #36: Marina + the Diamonds - Hollywood The lyrics are stupid. But this tune is not. #35: Janelle Monáe - Cold War MrGaryy introduced me to her. She's like Grace Jones in the sense of female androgyny, but doesn't suffer from the ****ing weird attitude Jones does. Instead, she makes rather consistent and good albums like The ArchAndroid. #34: Sleigh Bells - Rill Rill Another new artist to 2010 - I initially misplaced this track somehow and went under the impression they were a one trick pony. This is the only album track that's relatively melodic as opposed to an assault on the senses. And the tune is very lovely. #33: Grinderman - Worm Tamer I can't go a year and neglect Nick Cave. Plus the lyrics to this are ludicrously daring. "Yeah well my baby calls me the Loch Ness Monster - two great big humps, then I'm gone." The aggression is brilliant. #32: Cee Lo Green - ***** You This would've placed higher had a) it not been censored ludicrously and b) it not been overplayed. REGARDLESS, it's phenomenal. And probably deserves a higher placing. Meh. #31: Mumford and Sons - Dust Bowl Dance I've gone for this ahead of Winter Winds and Little Lion Man because it's a more subtle piece. The lyrics are lovely, and it builds to something quite great.

V.I.P

2010 has been bollocks for music, Nothing but Justin Bieber, Black Rappers rapping about 'Shawty' and repetitive bollocks showing up from people who's only talent is to get a group of chavs singing.

#30: John Grant - Caramel
I thoroughly recommend his album. It's full of really poignant, blunt, emotional stuff - this being one of the prettiest tracks. #29: Arcade Fire - Half Light I Would be higher had someone not pointed out a similarity between this and DeVotchKa's "How it Ends". It's a beautiful symphony. #28: Gorillaz - Stylo I'll be honest, the video helps this a lot. But that aside - it's a pretty slow-burning tune and it took a few listens to grow on me. But it's pretty awesome. #27: Kings of Leon - Back Down South The sound of this is just brilliant. It makes me want to bask in the sun. Might be because of current climate but meh. #26: Kelis - Scream It's not enough to live, so just dream \bate. No this is a pretty brilliant tune...quite unconventional chorus, the verses are more -wave your arms-y. #25: Vampire Weekend - Giving Up The Gun Loved this album. Probably the catchiest tune on it. #24: Scissor Sisters - Skin Tight Just cute. The lyrics are soppy and the tune is euphoric. #23: M.I.A. - Born Free Brilliant (banned) video, manic song and even though it's a sample, it's an unknown one so idc. *shakes tits* #22: Skunk Anansie - God Loves Only You The bass on this, teamed with Skin's vocals, make this an intense audial experience. #21: Arcade Fire - Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) Regine's opus.
