So, it’s that time of year again, time for racking our brains (and maybe hitting our heads against the wall) to come up with a relatively short and sweet list of our favorite music of 2010 (so far). Forced to reflect on the last six months, it’s so very easy to see that we’ve been spoiled with nothing short of an assload (that’s a scientific measurement) of amazing tunes. We predict that come December, we’ll have a few bruises on our noggins as we sort it all out.
Until then, enjoy our list of favorite songs of 2010, sure to evolve over the coming months. Stream them all, download what you like. We’re halfway there!
