I'll be honest, I didn't listen to a ton of new music this year. Nonetheless, 2010 still had some great releases that will stick around as favorites for a long time.I could easily have picked one song from each of my favorite albums for my top songs, but I'll pick some off of my "honorable mentions" that didn't quite make it.
