I hate doing these lists before the end of the year because I haven't fully absorbed everything I've listened to nor heard everything I want to hear - most notably, the new Ryan Adams LP is sitting in the post office waiting for my return to LA. But 'tis the season of lists, and I felt like one putting one together despite my convictions. These are the thirty best songs I heard that were released in 2010, most of which I blogged about already - just click the link to read the original post.
30. CocoRosie - Lemonade
29. Broken Social Scene - Texico Bitches
Probably the worst song title on this list, I'll be damned if the chorus of "I wanna be fair" doesn't have me singing along every time.
28. Best Coast - Boyfriend
27. Suckers - King of Snakes
26. Tame Impala - Desire Be Desire Go
25. of Montreal - Coquet Coquette
I found False Priest to be a bit of a disappointment, but this first single from the LP was perfect.
24. Hot Chip - Hand Me Down Your Love
Hot Chip is incapable of releasing an album without a few great singles - this was my favorite from One Life Stand.
23. Chief - Your Direction
22. Joanna Newsom - Easy
Have One on Me had me from this opening track, showcasing Newsom's voice evolving, with a little less squeak and a lot more Joni Mitchell.
21. The Acorn - Restoration
Another excellent track from a vastly underrated band, fans of Fleet Foxes and Grizzly Bear should dig this.
The top 20 after the jump...

Song of the Day: The Love Language - Brittany's Back
Always nice to see a band from my hometown make a great album. I couldn't wait for the second installment of posts about North Carolina bands - the new Love Language album just came out and I wanted to share a song immediately.
In full disclosure, I don't know for sure that Libraries is a great album, as I've only heard two songs. "Brittany's Back" is the first one I listened to, and as soon as the vocals started, I knew I loved it. The early reviews of the album are glowing, and if it's half as good as this song, I think we'll all be in for a treat.
