There are a couple I can't stop watching, especially this one:

This track from Jonsi is amazing:

This isn't a video, rather a TV performance, but I love the song:

I recently discovered this band Tame Impala from Australia and they are really really really good. Great retro/psychedelic rock vibe. The video is twisted as hell.

Yeasayer has put out one of the best albums this year in my view. Love this track:

ok those are just a few of my faves for 2010. I'd be curious to see what other folks have been liking this year so far

Janelle Monae-Tightrope

Not only one of the best songs of the year, but also one of the best videos of the year (at least IMH and underinformed O, as it's the only one I've seen).

man, that song was SUPER infectious to me when it first came out. I used to have it on repeat on my iPod. I was listening to it on my way to the bus stop, on the bus, walking from the bus stop to work, on my breaks, walking from work to the bus stop, on the bus, at home and before I went to bed. I can't listen to it and be still.

For me i have played this song more than any other and its one of their best in their 25 year career.

The video is complete but wont be out for a few weeks or so, but there videos have always been visually effective to this day, it was done by their old time director that did all their videos from 1985-1991. And this one i just already like the look of it and the song is TOP NOTCH, go figure when most bands "phone it in" after 25 years they are still topping themselves album after album.

Dig it immensely. I have to set the album aside to make sure I don't wear it out!

The full video is here, and it's amazing. . love the fact that they pay homage to their first big hit, "Take on Me"

Brilliant and touching video, love the song as well.
