It's the end of 2010, so I've dutifully compiled a list of the year's ten best songs (that I heard at least!). Here are my lists from 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, and 2004. Here's my list for 2010:

10. Brandon Flowers Crossfire
9. Elton John and Leon Russell If It Wasn't for Bad
8. LCD Soundsystem Drunk Girls
7. Kings of Leon Radioactive
6. Guster Do You Love Me?
5. Sally Seltmann Dream about Changing
4. Delta Spirit Bushwick Blues
3. Wolf Parade Yulia
2. Arcade Fire Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)
1. The National Bloodbuzz Ohio

Got a list of favorite songs from the past year? Let's see it in the comments section.

I have heard of one of these songs. I guess they don't play these on the hard rock stations.

You left out Mumford and Sons, The Cave; Peter Wolf's Green Fields of Summer, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroe's Home.

Thanks Leon Russell, I now have my halloween costume for next year.

Sad

The song of the year was definitely "Pants on the ground" by General Larry Platt. Followed closely by Neil Young's "Sign of Love".
