Ok, now this is a playlist that took me hours to put together. It wasn't the song selection, which only took me about 20 minutes, no. The real time sink was getting them in the right order. I didn't want to put them in a worst to best order. For one thing that would be almost impossible to determine. I also didn't want them in a completely arbitrary structure like alphabetical; we are talking about the best songs of the year not reference books.
So then I realized why not just make it like a compilation CD track list and make each song flow into the other as best as I could. BRILLIANT! At least that is what I thought until about hour 2 of skipping to the end of tracks to double check if I had the best transition, but I persevered.
So with out further ado, here is my Best of 2010 Playlist.
