For my “Best Songs…” list I did something similar to last year and limited my choices to tracks not included in any of my top ten albums. The other thing I did was cheat a little. The convention is to do these things as Top 10 lists, but after fairly quickly getting my list cut down to a dozen or so, I just couldn’t settle on a final ten. So, for 2010, here are my top 12 songs.
Colby’s Top Songs of 2010:
“Fuck You” – Cee-Lo Green, The Lady Killer
