Best Of 2010: Top 55 Songs

Here are my top 55 songs of 2010, in no particular order.  Sorry I was a bit lazy with this one, and a bit rushed for time, so no write-ups for each individual song.  I realize the sort-of irrelevance of throwing a block of text on the internet without anything meaningful alongside, but there’s nothing to be done now.  You can download them in groups of 10 from here (1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, 41-55) and I tried to make them at least a bit like “compilation albums” of ten songs each.

My favourite song was probably “Swept Inside,” maybe “Impossible Soul” though.
