... and so I don't come across as overly negative - here's a couple of my favorite 2010 tracks by people who haven't been named yet (still working on a top-10 list):
How to Dress Well - "Decisions" ("haunting" is overused in music critique, but ...)

Jai Paul - "BTSTU" (an absolute weirdo, but this song is unreal)

The-Dream - "Yamaha" (as he says in another track, "she like 'this one's mine'/ hmmm, I doubt it")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP8oGRmi0iE
Ted Leo & Rx - "Bottled in Cork" (great video, too)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w248uwpAX14
Das Racist - "All Tan Everything" (kind of like rap noise pop)

The Hood Internet - "Decalogue"

Ariel Pink - "Round and Round" (probably my favorite 2010 track)
