I don't remember 2010 being so bad that Rich Friends would be in the Top 2!

Maybe you guys should listen to music besides the radio and Prince. There's a whole world of great music being released every year. | |

You should take 5 mins off from listening to all that great music and make yourself an avatar | |

Thank you for sharing this list! Of course not everyone (no one?) is gonna agree (the inclusion of Madonna's 'Music' made me wonder if you were having us on), but either way, sharing a list like this is a brave thing to do 'round these parts! |

Thanks eyewishuheaven. I've been dealing with banks recently so negative comments here are a refreshing treat compared to "dirty fat bankers" which is a polite way of describing some of them.
As regards 2010 Cee Lo's hit single Forget You deserves 2nd place ahead of Prince. Also the festive season may have influenced my choice for 1982 and maybe Michael Jackson's Thriller would be a better choice there. | |

I dunno, saying 2010 was just a "bad year" for music just struck me as kind of silly, that's all. | |

To each their own. What you might think is great music I might think is crap and vice versa. |
