Top 100 Songs of the 2010s

ah hello everyone almost knee deep oh here the internet's busiest music nerd and it's time for another edition of chart week looking back at my favorite and least favorite music of the

2010s

. I've done my worst singles, my worst albums as a good boy, and now I'm doing my top 100

songs

and singles of the decade, partially making a list like this makes me sad because there are many other

songs

that I loved now, how good, it would be lovely in a list like this, but hey, I had to narrow it down to 100 for my own sanity, which is hanging by a thread and the point of a list like this is to narrow it down to the best anyway.

That said, since there are 100 songs on this list, I can't speak. In detail on each song on this list, this video would be about an hour long, so like my other videos on the list, I'm going to talk more about the songs that rank closest to the top and for convenience and candor , I'm going to make the last fifty of my top 100 scroll right now. The last 50 on my top 100 list go and buy a lot of cool stuff in this part of the movie, they go from 100 to 51, that's the better half of the list. Yes, with that done let's get into the top half, at number 50 is King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard with their thrash anthem for a dying planet, Planet B, at number 49 we have the incredible iconic V, the talented Janelle Monae with the funky jazzy full of life. and the catchy tightrope with big boy 48 is a punk anthem of cross-cultural understanding and friendship idols dan Enid elko 47 satanic metal regains its charm with ghost cherry number 46 is Natalia for COD a with Sade gardenias made beautiful beautiful ballad with beautiful vocal harmonies an irresistible Latin style and at 45 we have the tragic and depressing, heartbreaking hood of the genius of perfume number 44, a dreamy ballad of love and affection from the duo beach house take care number 43 1539 North Calvert by JPEG mafia easily one of the most audacious and shocking rap producers to break this decade at number 42 is Sufjan Stevens' quietly chilling acoustic number that should have known better and the even more chilling and truly heartbreaking in terms of storytelling King Park from La Dispute sits on number 41, the absurdities of experimental pop, 100 gex sit at number 40 with Money Machine and Frank Ocean goes progressive with R&B and art pop with his long epic, multi-phase channel orange pyramids with number 38, we we put smashing and bold, daring, daring, post-punk. in Shut Up the Wild and at number 37 we have a smash hit, an anthem of high swaggering energy and Beyonce's female unit formation, the bubbly and boisterous ice cream battles land at number 36, number 35 on our list is a wonderful expression of digital love, Hannah. diamond hello, I really admire the way this song portrays loving infatuation.

I guess it's just a digital space and a half, it's very modern and in issue #34 we have one of the bravest and most complete takedowns of racist police brutality by slamming your knees to the ground. Number 33, one of the craziest, most outrageous, most audacious creative hits of the decade, has to be on higher ground tonight and at 32 we keep a gold chain around our neck with Brock Hampton in gold, oh God , if I. i love pop rap bliss bring home bring me to heaven it's divine number 31 we have Karen J Kalinin, one of the most expressive, eccentric, stimulating and provocative songwriters of this decade, the title song bravado from her album of The same title is a wonderful self-reflection on many things, including one's understanding of one's own masculinity.

It's a wonderful anthem backed by a synth that is incredibly powerful. Gray voices. Great production number 30. One of the most irresistible songs with rhythm of the decade. I guess so too. a semi-woke message, Parquet fully wakes up, although it's really just the bassline and drums that really make the track and make it worth placing so high on this list, at number 29, we have the collective epic and ambitious in the TRO pika with punk arrow. Sony Darrow is one of the many tracks that make Onda Tropica one of the most inventive and exciting mixes of musicians in Latin music, as this track is an incredibly fun and strange psychedelic mix of punk music and a lot of different flavors.

Latinos. we have Danny Brown with the heartbreaking and disturbing tone of his, isn't that funny? Actually, it's not about anything fun. It's quite sad and I think Danny's rapping is manic, how rushed and expressive it is combined with the bombastic trumpet. backbeat that sounds like something out of a horror movie soundtrack, really brings home the fear and feeling of impending doom when you're simply making the loudest cry for help you can imagine at number 27 on our list. Kayne West himself is on an epic power trip on the song, powering up a song that really needs no explanation and with 26 we have one of the most compelling subtle and hypnotic micro house jams of the decade for Tet with love cry.

Number 25 on our list here is graced by YG. FD because f dt and with 24 we have linguae egg note with doubts from my traitor a song that the more I listen to it the more deeply disturbed by its voice its sound is everything that I am also disturbing in many ways it is the song daughter of Satan in the wait , an incredible dark and expansive song from their latest comeback album that you should know RT right now. I think it's amazing. Also striking at number 22 are the lyrically and instrumentally inventive numbers on the boards of Pusha T, only a rapper of T's caliber.

I might even start to approach a song and instrumental like this and go with flying colors to number 21. Here is one of my favorite bands of the decade. Algiers with its unique fusion of rock, soul and punk music comes together to speak truth to power in the The Underbelly of Power, Beyond the Power SATA, and a shout out to songwriting legend PJ Harvey in the issue 20 with the words that make murder an incredibly chilling song from their wonderful and surprising Let England Shake Record Charli XCX and Christine and the Queens at number 19. together for a pop anthem from times gone by and at number 18 Tyler the Creator expands his creative repertoire with earthquake with number 17 on our list we go post pop post electronic post industrial post everything with Sophie in the incredibly dark, heavy, crushing and perverted.

Ponyboy and at number 16 it's the throbbing visceral strangulation and some sort of dystopian disaster on a liar's mission, the challenges to our gender norms and workplace culture are set at number 15 in durian's run Electra, boy, no No, it's our 14th single, Ariel sounds. Pink's Haunted graffiti with twists and turns, a fantastically strange and anachronistic approach to vintage pop and disco music, at number 13 we have the lovely, wonderful, delightfully well-intentioned company of none other than joanna newsom and number 12 I guess what I think is my favorite synth pop anthem of the decade LCD Soundsystem I can change at number 11 one of the smartest and, in my opinion, most entertaining songwriters of this decade appears and with an incredible song he gives them to sex workers their due far from being born again and now we are here in the top 10 places the top 10 places I'm so excited here we go let's do it starting at number 10 with rest and peace for David Bowie with the title song of His latest album Blackstar not only does this song stand out as one of the darkest and most surreal singles of the decade, but it also demonstrates how rare David Bowie was to him.

Addressing these ideas and concepts at this late point in his career is pretty amazing, not to mention chilling. it was on Black Star in general for him to face death as directly as he did. I'm number 9. I really had to sit down and think about whether or not this was the track I wanted to go for because I obviously limited my tracks. to one per artist on this list and I had to sit down and think about whether this song was really my favorite from this group or whether or not I wanted to have it on this list because I thought it was more representative of the era. the decade, the sound of what these last 10 years have meant to me, so in this place I ended up putting on some kind of gorilla nature with none other than Lou Reed, which is a creative, incredibly catchy and colorful dystopian version of our A very bleak ambient future with again some incredible vocal work from Lou Reed.

Number 8 on our list is a song whose emotional pain doesn't really need deep explanation, not only because of the story behind the album it comes from, but also because it really is just plain wrong. At first glance, once you hear it, of course, I'm talking about the real death of Mount Airy at number seven, not only because of its creative instrumental, its energy but also the message of it. I have placed the knife with its strange tribal fusion of house and pop art in the tooth. four and I'm number six on our list, I guess you could say my rock song of the decade, Swans Oxygen, is one of the most crushing apocalyptics and I guess I don't know how else to explain the fury of this song outside of feeling like a fight or flight reflex kicks in and you're just everything is disintegrating like a cool anime at number five we have the blunt ones we have the socially conscious ones we have the colorful expressive ones that are multi-phase and very suitable for the time period The one we're in is America by Childish Gambino, a song that somehow says a lot without actually trying to say a lot, and with our number four spot, I think Father John Misty gets to the heart of many of today's social ills, as well as also issues of the human condition in the title song of his album of pure comedy, pure comedy, a song that I love but at the same time I have a difficult relationship with it because it is the description of many of our problems that seem so precise that It almost makes me feel damn, it's like there's nothing we can really do, but I really don't want to feel that way and I fight that feeling every day and I honestly don't think that's the take that mr.

Tillman would like to have one of the song anyway, but it's still a powerful tune, awesome melody, great lyrics, great everything. I also feel the same about our number three song here, Kendrick Lamar, the blackest of berries, a fantastic, bold and hard-hitting, straight in your face. The crown jewel of a Kendrick Lamar song, Amazing to Pimp a Butterfly, a song that really gets at many of the key themes more broadly, to pimp a butterfly, career self-actualization and actualization, racial hatred and self-loathing up to number two. The spot on this list will go to the title track from the Fleet Foxes album. "Malfamity Blues." "Not only is it one of the sweetest and most memorable ballads in Fleet Foxes' discography, based solely on sound and melody, but the song is actually a surprising expression of, I think, many of the key issues of Fleet Foxes. being lost without having a purpose, this feeling of longing to be a part of something bigger, just as previous generations were allowed to, that the millennial generation has just essentially stolen from them and The younger generations coming after the millennial generation , as I believe that from an economic and social point of view, there has been a huge change which this song reflects in a strange way without having fully experienced the worst part, however, in a way, this song is quite predictive, as they are very real. and the unaddressed feelings of generational doubt, fear also of this need to fulfill a purpose, I think, are expressed in this track and ended up entering or evolving into much uglier things in the future in this decade, in a way that I guess you could say this track is a marker. for a transition point into something very negative and gloomy that brings me to my number one spot, which is where I place Death Grips with the song Hacker, a track that the more I think about it is perhaps the most representative and exciting invention when it comes .

I guess it's a reflection of the digital dystopia we currently exist in the totally outlandish lyrics of this song, I think they are an inaccurate display of the pandemonium, the disorder we are experiencing mentally and emotionally again in this internet intensive digital social network. age, yeah, yeah, it's my song of the decade and I think I'll leave it at that. Thank you very much for watching not only this video, but also to all of you who have been watching me for the last ten years. It's been an incredible journey and I hope to do this for ten more years and I guess I'll see you in a decade list video when we get to that point and also in the transition.
