10 Songs....What Are They?

[ZenG]

List 10 songs/works/compositions of any genre.....that have been recorded 2010 to now......and in your opinion are "must listens".......

 

[Milk]

I saw the title, wondered why no reply. Then saw 2010 to now....geez....i think theres like two records released since 2010 that i like. i guess they add up to over ten songs...but i dont think most of them are must listen.... Considering this forum's crowd, good luck with that thread...

TEN songs?

I couldn't think of ONE song!

lol

The ONE I can think of is Cut Me Some Slack McCartney & Grohl

 

[bluesdogblues]

'basswise', I think DP's Mega Hits "Get Lucky" is interesting, Nathan East the bassist
..what else... umm..
I agree it's getting harder to choose from recent (2010-2014) songs, because we (or at least me) will always compare them to the old classics which naturally are the benchmark, and they sure are tough to beat.

NIN "Copy Of A ..." has unique bass in it, I think it's Pino Palladino CMIIW
...

This isn't a "modern music" bash thread......I know that isn't tolerated....

Was just wondering what the good stuff was these days....

Too bad it wasn't "name 10 songs since 1979".

Sorry, can't do it.

1. Flowers in Your Hair - The Lumineers
2. Safe in the Steep Cliffs - Emancipator
3. Walk Us Uptown - Elvis Costello and the Roots
4. Stalker - Tetra (free download on their bandcamp)
5. Produce Communicate Transport Destroy - Time Columns (free download on their bandcamp)
6. Sacrilege - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
7. Ruby '81 - Aesop Rock (lyrics Invalid Link Removed)
8. Goodbye Hooray - Red Hot Chili Peppers
9. Factory of Faith - Red Hot Chili Peppers
10. Kazo's Theme - The Orphanage

It's easy to lock your doors and complain about current music being awful, but you're doing yourself a disservice. Sure, you may be more acquainted with the artists that have influenced the up-and-comers, but your favorite group started somewhere.

For a forum of musicians, Talkbass really loves to brag about hating music.

Tightrope by Janelle Monae:

Well, there is music and then there's music. May as well compare Tom Clancy to Shakespeare while you're at it.

I've been thinking long and hard about this, and got nothing. Got Lucky may be the closest I could get.

That's because you haven't listened to any.

 

[456Spectwick]

Downtuned extended range guitars, modernized for todays even angstier youth.

The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza - There's a time and a place for everything

[richntiff]

Radioactive by Imagine Dragons
Anything by Lorde - seriously, give her a listen with an open mind.
the new Soundgarden album
the new Alice in Chains album
Don't You Worry Child - Swedish House Mafia
some stuff by Bruno Mars

It seems to me like most of the suggestions here are being offered more as "passable" than as "must listen".
