Top 25 Songs Of The Half-decade
I normally use albums when it comes to discussing music, but as The Hold Steady once said, "certain songs are scratched into your soul." Pitchfork did this halfway through the year for some reason, but they had a lot more to get through. These are just my 25 favorite songs of the 2010s after five years; one per artist. Many of them are not from my favorite albums of those years, but all of them are great. |
