The 10 best songs that should been in 2010's Greatest Hits but we forgot

We're stuck at the airport. Yes... all of us. So this has become a golden opportunity to work on some quick updates... First and foremost, these 10 songs probably would have been fine replacements for the least impressive songs .. most of which were discovered (or, mostly re-discovered) throughout the past week after the Pazz & Jop results were posted and other various end-of-year nonsense...

#1 Superchunk "My Gap Feels Weird"
A third Superchunk track in the list wouldn't have hurt.. After a few more listens this one turned out to their best new song.

#2 Surfer Blood "Floating Vibes"
These dudes are still overrated, but this is the song that should have been included instead of sleepy "Harmonix."

#3 Bat For Lashes feat. Beck "Let's Get Lost"
Finally got around to seeing New Moon last night and holy fuck is this movie awful... I would almost rather not see Eclipse at this point as the decent songs within the movie's context might taint their goodness. For example, I might never again be able to hear Muse's "Supermassive Black Hole" ever again without thinking of those damn Twilight kids fuckin around on the softball field. Yeah anyway...

#4 Some of that Flying Lotus shit.

#5 Willow Smith "Whip My Hair"
Somehow this wasn't obvious right away. It shouldn't be long before someone decides to turn her into a "career artist" and forces her to sing boring bullshit.

#6 Pill "On Da Korner"
Fuck, there just wasn't enough Pill in this year's list... We called WXCI's Sunday hiphop show recently just to see if they really knew what was up, and we're like "Do you guys have any Pill?" And to our surprise the DJ called him one of the best new artists to watch for in 2011, and that they apparently featured him on last Sunday's show. Swag.

#7 Ke$ha "We R Who We R"
The earworm wins. Fuck, this should've been top 30 at least. Late Night Noise is still on the hunt for our big Ke$ha interview in 2011. Details are on the way...

#8 More shit from "Bastard"
Tyler's coming to NY Feb 15. I got my tix good and ready.

#9 Mary Kate & Ashley Olson "Gimme Pizza Slow"
How exactly did the #1 best thing that happened on the internet in 2010 slip our minds?? Not only is this the apex of Youtube's existance, but the beat is kinda like hot cum and if it were by Ween this would have easily made Top 10.

#10 Justin Bieber "U Smile (Ambient Version)"
This was technically cited but did not place. Whatever.
