#THETENX5 Day 39
My 50 favourite songs of the 2010s in reverse order
12
Icona Pop (feat Charli XCX)
I Love It
2012
Honestly I didn’t like this song when I first heard it, or for quite some time afterward. My wife loved it though, and eventually I came round to her view of its ridiculous genius
“Rod Stewart”
Think it is one of the many songs I have discovered through @fortherabbits.bsky.social over the years
this is a radical position but I believe that if you are a person of integrity you should not be using far right wing propaganda websites owned by sociopaths

My 50 favourite songs of the 2010s in reverse order.

Basement Revolver
Johnny
2016
2 very good indie-pop songs from Alvvays and Allo Darlin’ have already featured in my list. This, to me, beats either of them, but is much less well known.

LCD Soundsystem. pretty early on - I was like, "oh, they are a serious band". At that point I think they had only done "Losing My Edge" so I thought they were a meta-meta novelty type outfit. Live, at I think Bowery Ballroom, they projected the kind of intent and ferocity akin to the Stooges.

Mitski
Your Best American Girl
2016
One of those rare songs you recognise as a classic the first time you hear it. I'm actually quite surprised I found 13 songs in the decade I like more than this
#THETENX5 Day 36
My 50 favourite songs of the 2010s in reverse order.
15
Ellen Arkbro
Three
2017
My most self-indulgent pick, just a handful of notes on organ and brass for 12 minutes. Unlikely to pick up any more votes, but to me it is truly beautiful.

I still think about this a lot.
#THETENX5 - Day 35
My 50 favourite songs of the 2010s in reverse order.

Frank Ocean (feat. Earl Sweatshirt)
Super Rich Kids
2013
There seem to be quite a few different Frank Ocean songs getting votes, but this slinky little number is my personal favourite: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XCQ...

Aldous Harding
Imagining My Man
2017
Seeing this performed live was also one of my live music highlights of the decade

Christine and The Queens

2018

"If you don't understand how human consciousness works, you can't say AI isn't conscious" is absolutely no less stupid an argument than "If you don't understand how the human respiratory system works, you can't say my dad *hasn't* stolen my nose".
..of later ‘Mum Does The Washing’ fame

My 50 favourite songs of the 2010s in reverse order.
19
Sons of Kemet
My Queen Is Doreen Lawrence
2018
With a joyous anger this was one of the finest things to come out of the British jazz mini-explosion of the late 2010s. Only recently clocked the vocalist is Joshua Idehen…
Happy Birthday to an excellent record!
#THETENX5 - Day 31
My 50 favourite songs of the 2010s in reverse order.

Mac Miller
Small Worlds
2018
As Little Simz says, “Rest in Peace to Mac Miller”. This, I think, was his finest work.

I have put together pitches for eight new audio projects (features, series, podcasts). One of them is being made for Cambridge Radio, the other seven are available for commissioning. Yes, I have already emailed everyone you can think of. Please share so I can make this my job instead of [redacted].

Nicki Minaj (ft. 2Chainz)
Beez In The Trap
2012
Have seen a few different choices for her in this challenge, but this minimal masterpiece is comfortably my favourite.

I get asked to show up to book clubs, online and offline. Here is why from now on the answer is always "no." If you think this might have something to do with "AI" ruining yet another thing for everyone, you're absolutely 100% correct.

Taylor Swift
Shake It Off
2014
Expected more Taylor songs in my top 50, but realised there are loads I like, but few I love. This would probably be even higher if not the whole “fella over there with the hella good hair” bit

Liz Lawrence
Navigator
2019
Heartfelt, catchy and has two choruses one of which has an unexpected swear, what's not to love?

Amazing line up this year
I don’t know how to use chatgpt etc but I imagine it’s going to a website and typing “oh no what groceries do I buy please tell me false god for I am so weak I cannot go on” as your brain atrophies and leaks out of your ears from disuse and the machine is like “buy eggs milk bread and a horse”
