In response to Pernell, here are ten songs that I listened to a lot in 2010 (not necessarily released in 2010).
Deep Dark Woods, “Charlie’s (is coming down)” from CBC Radio 2’s Great Canadian Song Quest
Fleet Foxes, “Your Protector,” from Fleet Foxes
Great Lake Swimmers, “Palmistry,” from Lost Channels
Joel Plaskett, “Deny Deny Deny,” from Three
M. Ward, “Jailbird,” from Hold Time
Ray Lamontagne, “Like Rock & Roll and Radio,” from God Willin’ and the Creek Don’t Rise
Ron Sexsmith, “Seem to Recall,” from Whereabouts
Rufus Wainwright, “True Loves,” from All Days are Nights: Songs for Lulu
The Swell Season, “Low Rising,” from Strict Joy
Sandra McCraken, “Halfway,” from Under Lights and Stars

Well done, James. Great list. Thanks for playing.
Thanks Pernell. Your list reminded me I need to get some Bazan. I think he might get played often in 2011.
I knew you were a man of good taste.
Thanks Jon – you must have good taste too.
