Top 5 of 10: Music

Here are the songs that wore out on my Ipod in 2010.

5. We Are Born / Sia

Why: Actually lives up to the hype.

Best Track: Oh Father

4. Body Talk / Robyn

Why: Some of the best dance music this year. 

Best Track: Dancing On My Own

3. Record Collection / Mark Ronson and The Business International

Why: This album feels like listening a play list of awesome songs you’ve never heard made by your cool friend. It’s surprisingly cohesive and catchy.

Best Track: Somebody to Love Me

2. Soldier of Love / Sade

Why: It’s not everyday you hear new music from Sade and after nine years, they did not disappoint. Even Kanye got excited.

Best Track: Babyfather

1. Here Lies Love / David Byrne and Fatboy Slim

Why: A concept album about the life of Imelda Marcos bringing together David Byrne and Fatboy Slim and featuring  22 guest vocalists? Against the odds, this works. You have to give them credit for that.

Best Track: A Perfect Hand
