The 50 Best Songs of the Decade...So Far #50 to #31

Happy Holiday Long Weekend!

To celebrate we countdown the  50 Best Songs of the Decade...so far!

Today we do #50 through #31....

Any song from 2010-2015 is eligible...but not songs from this year. (My stupid list....my rules)

So...without any further ado...

#50 Heaven, The Walkmen (2012)




From what I regard as the greatest album of the decade so far....with several songs that will be appearing....
#49 Unbelievers, Vampire Weekend





Pretentious? Yes....but still an amazing song,

#48 Sing, My Chemical Romance



An incredible song with a great video...at first seemingly funny, but actually very sad.

It ages well....from 2012...

#47 Simple Song, The Shins



A little bit brilliant....a little bit demented...

#46 The Bells, Lowell



It may have been overplayed, but it remains a magnificent song, Powerful and moving.

#45 Someone Like You, Adele



Brandi Carlile....what can you say...

#44 The Things I Regret



What a great song.

#43 Hallelujah, Panic! At The Disco



Hated by many...wrongfully IMO....and this is one of her better songs.

#42 West Coast, Lana Del Rey



Intense brilliance...

#41 Grand Canyon, Timber Timbre



One of the seminal bands of the decade...

#40 Gimmie All Your Love, Alabama Shakes




You know...I fucking hate Coldplay...and yet this is a devastatingly great song

#39 The Scientist, Coldplay




Religion is a hard thing...

#38 Ya Hey, Vampire Weekend



Again...not a fan, but Timberlake's song Mirrors is fantastic and the video is cerebral and moving.

Great, great stuff!!!

#37 Mirrors, Justin Timberlake




Gloriously self-indulgent and sad.

Want to remember what it was like to be teenager...listen to this song.

#36 Youth, Daughter



I love these guys...but in the end this is their great song....

Wistful, sad, operatic.

#35 Miss Atomic Bomb, The Killers




Genius

#34 Make You Better - The Decemberists




#33 Countdown, Beyonce....

She was brilliant always.



I don't care what anyone says....I think he is a great host...and this is a great, great, great song...

#32 Fam Jam, Shad




Last one for now....Miguel is an exceptional talent, and this is a mesmerizingly wonderful song

#31 Coffee, Miguel
