Best and Worst of 2010!

A return is what I've been getting ready for and here it is! But that won't happen until 2011. For today I will give you my annual Best and Worst of 2010! Now in the past I've down 25 albums or had everyone vote. Last I did those and Top 15 of my life but this year it's different. It started when I made a list of my Top 100 songs for this year... I know it seems long but it was fun and exciting to choose out the winners! I will make a page on the website exclusively for the past years! Also I am going to start making a page for reviews and short reviews from the book I'm going to be following for the next year. So for the 100 songs, I will include them on the new page and just show the top 10. Here ya go!

Album of the Year

Gorillaz: Plastic Beach

Top 10 Songs of the Year!

1. Tell 'Em by Sleigh Bells
The amazingly powerful gunshot/ drum roll sound
is amazing and fantastic! Great to listen LOUD!
Plays this Year: 32 Listens

2. Glass by Julian Casablancas
The mysterious sound of the intro and the empathetic
verse are amazing together! I think this guy has more hits than
the Strokes even on his first CD which only has 8 songs.
Plays this Year: 22 Listens

3. Good Morning (The Future) by Rogue Wave
The happy sound of this song is really great especially the lyrics because
their very joyful.The beat and the track is flamboyant and gives you hope.
Plays this Year: 23 Listens

4. Superfast Jellyfish (Feat. Gruff Rhys & De La Soul) by Gorillaz
The cartoon part of this band is what really makes some people love them.
I love them for songs like this though where they are a brand. It's like a cereal add
the whole song! It's amazing!
Plays this Year: 48 Listens

5. the High Road by Broken Bells
The song is engrossing because it has many different instruments
playing all around that the song. It's a mixture of the Shins and Danger Mouse!
Who couldn't love it? But my favorite part is the end when it gets all quiet and nice.
Plays this Year: 1o Listens

6. Stylo (Feat. Bobby Womack & Mos Def) by Gorillaz
Stylo is one of those very weird songs where you have no clue what their
saying or talking about. I like the fact that Damon Albarn takes a current hip-hop star
and an old Blues singer and combines them into such a new style.
Plays this Year: 18 Listens

7. We Used to Wait by Arcade Fire
Now Arcade Fire is a band I never shared a love for until I saw them in concert
this fall. They always seemed boring on their album Neon Bible and to tell you the
truth, that album mainly is. But there new one... Must be my second favorite album
of the year! The voice on this record is crazy and amazing, the song is more rock anyways.
Plays this Year: 1o Listens

8. Congratulations by MGMT
The slow-moving melancholy part of this song is stunning but at the same time it's supposed
to be a happy song about winning... How does this work? I'll tell you how, because it's MGMT! It's great and can get you to sleep or quiet down.
Plays this Year:11 Listens

9. The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Chorus's are always cool and interesting, that's why their in songs. But this chorus
is very cool on the fact that it's got good lyrics and he sings really cool! It's just funny
to say that. The suburbs is basically about, Suburbs.
Plays this Year: 6 Listens

10. O.N.E. by Yeasayer
Gosh this song must have been my favorite song at the very beginning
of the year! I was waiting for this album ever since I saw them at Rock the Garden
and then again that July, but when Ambling Alps the single came out I got excited.
This song is cool because of its weirdness and that's all I can say about it.
Plays this Year: 8 Listens

This year was really just horrible for local music, which is why there's none on my Top 10... The actually good albums were Jeremy Messersmith's, the Reluctant Graveyard and Communist Daughter with their debut, Soundtrack to the End. Now I'm not usually a downer but this year I just had to do the Worst and most annoying songs of 2010. Just because our music era is failing and sucking. All pop stars that call themselves rap is just annoying and disturbing. So give it up for your Worst songs of 2010!
(In no particular order)

We Are the World for Haiti by Various Artists
How crappier can people remake a song? Seriously... Justin Bieber sings the first line? What ever happened to the dead guy Michael Jackson or Steve Perry? Or how about Bruce Springsteen? Common! Is this how senseless these people are? You totally ruined a perfectly good song from the 80's!

Airplanes (Feat. Haley Williams) by B.o.B.
I don't know if it's a joke or something? This song is too dramatic and WAY over liked... Not much else I can say about it other than how boring it is.

Sweepstakes (Feat. Mos Def) by Gorillaz
There's no point to this song and the fact that it's sound is stupid and annoying. Unless you really want to get annoyed right now, don't listen to this crap.

Lost in the World (Feat. Bon Iver) by Kanye West
Kanye what have you done. Your ruining peoples careers.... First Taylor Swift & Beyonce, now the amazing Bon Iver. Oh and why auto-tune! Ever since Gayngs Bon Iver has been overusing auto-tune.

Your Love Is My Drug by Ke$ha
First off, Love is not the only drug your on... Why do you just write about party's? No one wants to hear about your parties and how drunk or high you get. Please don't write anymore!

Drunk Girls by LCD Soundsystem
I think these kinda lost it with this new CD of theirs. I mean, this song was decent for a little bit but got annoying fast. Overplay on the radio and other stuff also kinda help it. Critics like praised this song as if it we're amazing! News flash, it's not.

Can't be Tamed by Miley Cyrus
WTF (What the Frack?)

Holiday by Vampire Weekend
I seriously love Vampire Weekend, I started listening to them when I entered Middle school but this song could not be played more than it is. The new Honda commercial plays it too much. I'm sure it gets them a lot of money but for the rest of us...

Crystalised by the XX
Again it's the same situation as Holiday, the song was overplayed on the Current. To tell you the truth, what's so great about this song? It's slow paced and not fun.

Whip My Hair by Willow Smith
I understand that you guys are like a super-family with your dad being Will Smith, Mom being Jada Smith and your brother being Jaden Smith but the one Smith that doesn't have talent is the youngest in the family. Willow who repeats the lyrics "I Whip my hair back and forth" at least 10 times every chorus.
