Any excuse for a list is a suitable excuse as far as I’m concerned, and the year’s half way point mixed considerable time spent in transit in the past week or two (with an excess of iPod-attachment as a result) has made it fun and easy to dish out this list of my favourite songs of 2010 thus far. So as decided from a plane somewhere above France under the influence of anti-nausea pills, here’s the top 25:
1. Goldfrapp – Rocket
2 & 3. LCD Soundsystem – All I Want and Dance Yrself Clean
4. Robyn – Dancing On My Own
5. The Arcade Fire – The Suburbs
the rest after the jump…
6. Drake – Over
7. Vampire Weekend – Horchata
8 & 9. Broken Social Scene – Forced To Love and All To All
10. The National – Terrible Love
11. Christina Aguilera – Elastic Love
12. Spoon – Got Nuffin
13. Owen Pallett – Lewis Takes Off His Shirt
14. Efterklang – Modern Drift
15. Robyn – Don’t Fucking Tell Me What To Do
16. Caribou – Odessa
17 & 18. The Arcade Fire – We Used To Wait and Ready To Start
19. Crystal Castles – Suffocation
20. Kylie Minogue – All The Lovers
21. Big Boi ft. Janelle Monáe – Be Still
22. MGMT – Flash Delirium
23. Drake – Find Your Love
24. The Morning Benders – Excuses
