This mp, (2010) Best of Last Year, which you can lis­ten to on Groove­shark, is com­prised of the best songs that I’ve come across in the year of 2010.

This year was hor­ri­fy­ingly devoid of new music. As such, this list if longer than it should be, with some songs get­ting arti­fi­cially inflated rat­ings to make the “Best of…” list require­ments (the songs must be 5 stars).

• IG-88’s ’57 CHEVY — MC Chris
• Bil­lie Jean — Chris Cornell
