One the catchiest songs off of American Slang.  I can't get enough of that lead guitar line in the verses.

Yeah, so Sufjan might have done some "grander" things in 2010.  But this is my favorite kind of Sufjan, stripped down, melodic and beautiful.  Call me sentimental.

If there was a song this year that made you bob your head and tap your toe, this was it.  Yeah, Dangermouse produced it, so what?  This song rocks.

Top 10 Songs of 2010 - #10 Scott Lucas & The Married Men - Get Up! You Damn, Dead Horse

After a few busy months at work, I'm back to the Dogwood Bark.  I'll countdown my top 10 songs from 2010 and then jump into my top 10 albums.

10.  Scott Lucas & The Married Men - Get Up! You Damn, Dead Horse

A standout from one of my favorite albums of the year.  Nothing groundbreaking, but enjoyable well-crafted folk rock.  I hope Scott makes more music like this in the future.
