10 more of the best songs of the 2010s…

(Click here for the whole list so far, with a Spotify playlist.)


80. Metronomy — "The Look"




79. Kendrick Lamar (feat. Cee Lo Green) — "untitled 06 | 06.30.2014."




78. The New Pornographers — "Fantasy Fools"




77. Tool — "7empest"

Unlike almost all popular music these days, Tool has the nerve to venture outside of standard 4/4 time (one of at least 3 songs on my list to do so). Adam Jones's guitar playing on this 15-minute song has been called his best work in over 25 years with Tool.




76. The Claypool Lennon Delirium — "Blood and Rockets: Movement I, Saga of Jack Parsons / Movement II, Too the Moon"

This supergroup is Les Claypool and Sean Lennon, the only child of Yoko Ono and John Lennon. John was younger when he died than Sean is in this video.




75. Leon Bridges — "Smooth Sailin'"

Leon Bridges smoothly sails into the past, evoking Sam Cooke.




74. Snarky Puppy (feat. N'Dambi) — "Deep"




73. Bat for Lashes — "A Wall"




72. Sufjan Stevens — "Carrie & Lowell"

Sufjan Stevens wrote this quietly beautiful song shortly after his mom died. She and her husband were named Carrie and Lowell.




71. Yeah Yeah Yeahs — "Despair"
