Our 50 favorite tracks of 2010, from LCD Soundsystem, Taylor Swift, Eminem, Cee Lo Green, Janelle Monae and 44 other artists (Kanye made the list twice)
Well, it's time to close the book on another year in music. What have we learned? That building your entire song around the F-word won't keep you from having a hit single (or scoring multiple Grammy nominations); that people will forgive and even celebrate your douchebaggery if your music's good enough; and that, somehow, after spilling his guts to us for over a decade, Eminem still has a few riveting confessions left in him. Oh, and that music journalists never get tired of making best-of lists. Ready for another one? Let the countdown begin!—Andy Hermann, Metromix
