Top 10 Songs of 2010

Top 10 Songs of 2010

December 31st, 2010 by

The year is coming to a close, and hopefully you guys have gotten a chance to check out our Top 10 of 2010 series. It’s been a great year for music. Artists like Mac Miller, Hoodie Allen, and Chris Webby have managed to gain a significant following and are all on their way to great things. Meanwhile, artists like Wiz Khalifa, E-dubble, and J. Cole have consistently dropped solid tracks that us Kollectors can’t get enough of.

In an attempt to honor these artists and their outstanding music, here’s a purely subjective list of my top ten tracks of 2010 posted on the Kollection. Hope you guys enjoy it and Happy New Years!

1. My Oh My – Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
If you weren’t a Macklemore fan before, then take a listen. Words don’t do this song justice.

2. You Are Not a Robot – Hoodie Allen
The first Hoodie Allen song we posted and arguably his best. Hoodie Allen has set the bar very high with You Are Not a Robot. After hearing this track, it’s easy to understand why everyone thinks Hoodie Allen will be doing big things for a while.

3. Playground – The Dean’s List
Speaking of the next big thing, The Dean’s List comes in at number three on the countdown. They’re in a category of their own. This beat is dirty and the lyrics are simply poetic. Who makes music like this? No one.

4. Nikes on My Feet – Mac Miller
Mac Miller. I hate to say against all odds, but seriously against all odds this 18 year old is the topic of conversation. K.I.D.S. was unreal, and choosing one song of his was truly a challenge. I decided to go with Nikes On My Feet, but again there is just no way to narrow it down.

5. Radio – Chris Akinyemi
This one wins the most chill song of the year. Now can we get some more material from Chris?

6. In the Morning – J. Cole
J. Cole was the artist of the year in my book (disregarding mainstream). Literally every song we posted of his would soon be on the top rated list. In the Morning is one of my favorites. People keep remixing it, but the original is still the best.

7. Worry About You – 2AM Club

8. The Watchers – B.o.B
No Genre was a beast of a mixtape. The variety on this mixtape is unparalleled, and people call this guy a sellout? The Watchers is intriguing because B.o.B openly adresses the illuminati rumors in an almost sardonic manner. Another scenario where there were just too many good tracks to pick from.

9. Wishery – DJ Pogo
It’s painful to think just how much time Pogo put into this track. But the pay off is incredible. This is by far the most out there track on the list, and yet it works perfectly.

10. Shoot Your Love – Cam Meekins
People seem to be especially critical of Cam Meekins. And yes he has given us some questionable tracks, but Shoot Your Love more than makes up for it. It will be interesting to see what Cam Meekins does in 2011.

    I gotta say Macklemore deserves the top spot. I first heard about him a couple days ago when you guys posted his mixtape as one of the top mixtapes and I can’t stop listening. He seems like a mix between Brother Ali and Sage Francis in terms of lyrical content and soul, which is just ridiculous.

      I gotta say, I disagree with #10, but I like the rest of your list. Honestly, it’s tough picking a “Top 10″ when there were truly so many amazing tapes this year. Hell, Webby’s White Noise LP is among our top downloaded tapes of all time. This would be a good one to take to a vote, shall we?

    hey guys thanks for all the feedback. only kollectors are this passionate about music!!!

    with regards to webby, I did overlook the white noise lp, which as brian said is one of our most downloaded mixtapes of all time. even though i personally don’t listen to chris webby that often, i have a lot of respect for what he’s doing and obviously he’s making great music if so many people are noticing his absence on this list.

    as for kush & oj and best in the burbs, I tried to keep the list to mixtapes that the kollection has posted (a lot of people would say fabolous’ there’s no competition 2 was the best drop of the year but we didn’t post it). i’m glad you guys are keeping us honest, and it’s great to be able to share/discuss different artists with other people who know a thing or two about music. there was so much good music this year, ten spots didn’t do the artists justice.

    hope you guys liked some of the others on the countdown, can’t wait to see what happens in 2011!

    To be and independent music blog you guys sure did who heavy on the mainstream names. I’ll agree that Mac Miller’s K.I.D.S. Tape was number one, but I’d argue for like Eddy B & Tim Gunter’s Dear North Carolina Welcome Back. If you’re talking mainstream I don’t know how you could leave off Chris Webby and Sam Adams; although generally known as ‘frat rap’ both were produced extremely well. Overall a good mix, but I’d look a little deeper when naming the best of the year. Keep up the good work…

Top 10 Covers of 2010

Top 10 Covers of 2010

December 26th, 2010 by

Covers are often swept under the rug and discarded as wannabes, needing as much attention as their originals. However, sometimes covers can completely overshadow their sources. Twist & Shout was a huge hit by the Beatles. Who knew it was a cover except for those die hard Beatles fans? Now I’m not saying any of these will be as groundbreaking as Twist & Shout but they are definitely worth a listen.

KiD CuDi, MGMT, and Radiohead seem to be some of the more popular artists to cover these days. Where Ellie Goulding and PJ Simas seem to do most of the covering. Whether a cover is amazing or only okay, there’s no doubt each one adds a refreshing twist to the songs we love. Here are our top ten.

Top 10 Remixes of 2010

Top 10 Remixes of 2010

December 25th, 2010 by

These days it’s hard to define what a remix is. To some people, a remix is adding your own verse to a track. To others, a remix can simply incorporate an old song in a new way. Keeping this in mind, we decided to define remix liberally while excluding mashups from the list. There were so many great remixes this year; here are ten.

1. Dancing With the DJ – The Knocks (Chiddy Bang Remix)
Chiddy Bang is simply magic. This song flows, it’s catchy, and dare I say the best remix of 2010.

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.


2. I’m Coming Home – J. Cole
There’s a lot of mystery surrounding this track. First, when we posted it almost two months ago, we thought it was an original, but it’s actually a remix of Diddy’s track Coming Home. A remix that comes out before the original? Second, we were quick to label the singer as Hayley Williams, but I guess there is some speculation about who the singer actually is.

7. Symphonies (Remix) – Dan Black Feat. Kid Cudi
Kid Cudi can do it all and this track is proof. Personally, this is one of the best remixes I’ve heard in a while. Unfortunately, the majority of the song is the original, so I felt that it wasn’t remixed enough to be considered for the top spot.

    Agreed Chiddy Bang makes some killer remixes, however, Chiddy’s remix of MGMT’s “Kids” is more deserving of the top spot in my opinion.

    Both Norwegian Recycling songs are at least two years old.

      True, but our Best of 2010 references songs published on the K in 2010, not necessarily made in 2010. Sorry for any confusion.

    i dont understand how i love the way you mix (lie) by mashup-germany isnt on here, one of the best of the year i think

    and hustlin down sesame street by tenacious dj is ridiculous for the first 1:30 or so, and i think that part of the song deserves a spot, but the last minute of the song is a trainwreck

      Both of those are so good, and we’re happy to have shared them here on The Kollection this past year! Picking this top 10 was very tough, and it’s too bad we couldn’t include all of the ones we like. That’s why there’s this page though: http://thekollection.com/category/mashups

      Thanks Pat!

      Seems as though Brenton tries not to consider himself a “mashup artist,” as he produces his own original beats. On that note, his tracks are considered more “originals.” Expect to see some of Duvall in our 2010 editor’s pick!

    brian-just one more add to this list, probably as honorable mention, but hey sexy lady by isquare, skrillex did a remix to that, and its very, very heavy dubstep so its probably only for big fans of dubstep, but it is incredible, check it out
