My Most Beloved Songs Of 2010

Arcade Fire "The Suburbs"

As I sit here and prepare myself to bid a fond adieu to 2010, I am looking back on the music that shaped my year and my heart is swelling with nostalgia.

After a decade of musical lovers, I must say, 2010 has been one of the best in the sack, meaning that it was astoundingly good. I had many eargasms and soulgasms and gasms of every kind listening to these songs and never once did I want them to end.

I am going to attempt to sum up my favorite songs of 2010. If anything, these are the songs that stand-out because they either remind me of a beloved memory, some epic event that took place this year, or a memory I shared with my friends in which one of these songs played a huge role.
