Ten Songs By Ten Artists I Love

1 CommentMonday • January 17, 2011 • by Pernell

I purchased/received a lot of great albums in 2010 by a lot of great artists. Out of all of those albums, I have selected ten of my favourites, and then chosen my favourite song/video from each one. Remember these are albums I purchased in 2010… not necessarily albums that were released in 2010 (although some were).

Choosing only ten favourites was hard… but choosing my favourite song by each was actually way harder because I could have chosen several of the songs by most of them that I absolutely love. The list is definitely not definitive.

The deal is, if you are reading this and have your own blog, you should do the same and trackback. Let’s share some love, shall we?

OK, here we go. In no particular order:

1. Weezer | Album: Ratitude | Song: “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To”

2. Mumford & Sons | Album: Sigh No More |Song: “Roll Away Your Stone”

3. Herman Dune | Album: Next Year In Zion | Song: “On A Saturday”

4. Ron Sexsmith (Sexsmith & Kerr) | Album: Destination Unknown | Song: “Listen”

5. Cake | Album: Showroom of Compassion | Song: “Sick Of You”

6. Derek Webb | Album: Stockholm Syndrome | Song: “What Matters More”

7. Sufjan Stevens | Album: Age of Adz | Song: “Too Much”

8. Arcade Fire | Album: The Suburbs | Song: “The Suburbs”

9. The Weepies | Album: Be My Thrill | Song: “Please Speak Of Me”

10. David Bazan | Album: Curse Your Branches | Song: “Please Baby Please”

…and a bonus track from David Bazan: “The Man In Me”… because the song just rocks… and he’s playing the friggin’ drums with his feet.
