Let's see if I can limit the list to just 10. 2010 was a year dominated by weak albums with dynamite singles, so while the top 10 CDs list is pretty sad, you can't really go wrong with the top tracks list. Here we go:
1) Brad Mehldau - Don't Be Sad
Bluesy and quirky, featuring a masterful solo by saxophonist Joshua Redman (Berkeley High School power!), and beautiful string arrangements that still can make me cry, this song is at once uplifting and nostalgic. While aptly named, the title adds a new element to the piece.
After this, I don't think there's any point in reviewing individual songs... but they're all good and I've provided links so you can listen. Enjoy!
2) Flying Lotus - Do The Astral Plane
3) Shearwater - Corridors
4) Sage Francis - Little Houdini
5) LCD Soundsystem - All I Want
6) Dave Holland - How's Never? (sorry, but I can't find the link to this fine track)
7) The Tallest Man On Earth - King Of Spain
8) Hot Chip - We Have Love
9) Owen Pallett - Keep The Dog Quiet
10) How To Dress Well - Decisions
