DJ Tanner's top music from 2010 (Part I of IV: Kickin' Things Off)

What up?  It's DJ Tanner on the ones and twos here to give you the top music from the past year.  All in all, it was a pretty great year for music and certainly an upgrade from 2009.  Let's get down to business...

What this music review will contain:
- Honorable Mentions for songs of the year
- The top 4 club/bar songs of the year
- The top 11 songs of the year, regardless of genre
- Previous songs of the year (since 2004)
- Album of the year

Disclaimer:  Ultimately, music is subjective and I do not profess to be an expert; these are merely my observations.  I will, however, do my best to illustrate why these songs deserve such praise.  Furthermore, music is a form of art and as such there will be no censoring of lyrics or themes discussed.  You've been warned!


Here is a taste to start up some of the best music from the past year....
