YOLO List: Week 23


NY NYE

Wrapping up the 2010 YOLO Lists with #23. Been in deep consideration mode the past couple weeks shuffling through nothing but albums I thought to be in the top 20 of all albums released this year. I can really tell that this is going to be one of the harder things I’ll have to do. It seems as though, this year especially, there is too much good music to choose between. Maybe I’m just more aware…who knows. Chronic Mncher and Witler have been working on a top 20 lists for electronic and alternative tracks respectively, so we’ll be shooting those over as the week goes by.

Anyhow, this week’s list consists mainly of songs from the top albums of the year along with some electronic/bassy jams we all can’t do without. Especially considering Together As One is like a light at the end of a tunnel as we near the end of the year. YES! I hope everyone had a safe holiday celebration, and now for the 23rd set of weekly treats from me to you.
