Lucky 15
Here are 15 songs that defined the 2010s for me. Is each one of these songs the absolute best from each of these bands' catalogs? Not necessarily, but they're all important to me for their own reasons. As a matter of fact, I could probably do separate posts for most of the bands on this list covering the ways in which they musically shaped the 2010s for me.
There are lots of really great decade-end lists out there in the world. They all have otherworldly songs by Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar, Lana Del Rey, and more on them; and you should absolutely go check those out. These are just the songs that, for one reason or another, came into my head when I asked myself what I'd put on this list. Some of those reasons are quite specific, and some were just more of a general feel. I was gonna write some big blurb about every one of the songs here; but, really, you can either just listen to them or look back through the archives to get a sense of why these songs made it.
Admittedly, my musical taste is pretty narrow for someone who claims to be a music blogger; but it is what it is.
Anyway...
