Sometimes you just can't pick 10 (part 2)

Ok, now for my favorite songs of 2010 (in playlist below). Like Mark, I too had a hard time picking just 10. Picking a favorite album of 2010 would be easy though. I'd pick The National's High Violet (2 songs of which are included below). Maybe I like the album because I've always been drawn to sad bastard melodrama type music and High Violet has plenty of it. Or maybe Matt Berninger's oh-so-baritone and slightly sexy voice draws me in. Or maybe (and most likely) it really is just a great album. Heck, even harsh music critic Pitchfork liked High Violet (they gave it an 8.7). Pitchfork so rarely likes anything so that's gotta mean something.
