Forums - Music Discussion - 2020 Top 10 Best Hits

2020 is finally coming to an end, and it's been one hell of a ride. Saying that, I think we should end this year on a more lighter note.
What are your top 10 best songs?

-They can only be songs released from this year only
-List doesn't have to be in order. But to make it more fun, you totally should
-Honourable mentions are fine (there's been a lot of good songs this year, it's hard to not mention them)
-Feel free to post links to the songs, I'm sure some people would be interested in hearing your song choices

Quick reminder, we all have different tastes. No judging other people's choices
Have fun!

I tend to listen to a lot of albums in full, so there's some albums where multiple songs stuck out / a favourite hasn't stuck out yet, so I'll put the album in honourable mentions. There's also a few albums yet to be released (mainly Less Than Jake), so this is a work in progress. That said, these are some of my top tracks from this year (stuck to one per artist for now):

Angels & Airwaves - All That's Left Is Love
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JJTvuxWIM0

Sepultura - Agony of Defeat (Quadra is probably my album of the year).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHIknOxF57A

Maria Mena - Not OK
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1qo06VW56E

Tori Amos - Holly
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tujrCT-y1Q

Marilyn Manson - Half-Way and One Step Forward
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYpx5CbYksY

Tenille Townes - Come As You Are
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8Ue5l1_z6E

Caylee Hammack - New Level of Life
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIEq-otLdmg

Deftones - Urantia (whole album is superb)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwkT3sL23Pk

Bon Jovi - Blood in the Water
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjxF1NJuXKk

Special album mentions: H.e.a.t - H.e.a.t II / Sarah Jarosz - World on the Ground / The Night Flight Orchestra - Aeromance / Skeletoon - Nemesis / Lovebites - Electric Pentagram / The Suicide Machines - Revolution Spring



It's sad, but I don't even know if I could name 10 songs from 2020, much less make a list . I don't listen new music as much as before.

Just this morning I heard someone saying that the song "We are young", from FUN was from 2012! I had to check it because I thought it was impossible... but it's true.



Please excuse my bad English.

Currently gaming on a PC with an i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

Steam / Live / NNID : jonxiquet    Add me if you want, but I'm a single player gamer.

Often I don't know when the music I'm listening was released. I just jump from one song to another, one band/artist to another or even one genre to another. I listen to what comes to mind or what I've previously seen recommended somewhere.

However, I can think of an album and a song that I do know were released this year. I'll choose a song from the album and post the other one now, and I'll be updating this whenever I remember (or happen to listen and like) a song from this year.

1. Memento Mori (Lamb of God).

2. Rowing With One Hand (Ye Banished Privateers).

3. Daughter Of A Rifleman (Vargas & Lagola).

4. Sneeztem Of A Yawn (Nanowar of Steel).

5. Zeus (Eminem).

6. El gordo que la pisa bien (Kase.O).

7. Genocidal Humanoidz (System Of A Down).

[HM]

Wolf Totem (The HU feat. Jacoby Shaddix). This version of a song misses out on the list for only a couple of weeks, so it deserves an honorable mention. Nifty Mongolian voices and instruments well mixed with the American rock style.

And that's all. I've listened to a lot more music, but either it was old or I don't know the release year.

[Edit]

v.1) Adding Daughter Of A Rifleman (which makes two songs from this year that I discovered on these forums). Honorable mention to Wolf Totem.

v.2) Adding Sneeztem Of A Yawn (a song indirectly discovered thanks to VGChartz). Changing link for Daugther Of A Rifleman (unavailable video).

v.3, .4 & .5) Adding El gordo que la pisa bien, Zeus and Rowing With One Hand, respectively.

2) Pure Reason Revolution - New Obsession (Progressive)

3) Fall of Troy - Chain Wallet, Nike Shoes (Math Metal)

4) Plini - Papelillo (Instrumental Prog Guitar)



Gonna post my 10 kpop songs later.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Well I don't to top 40 so can't name any hit released this year apart from wap and a doja cat song. 

I'm posting 5 techno tracks and 5 techno sets cause I don't do rules either.

I didn't listen to them all, but consider yourself Snake approved. Good stuff

I gave Taylor Swift's new album a spin today, and I have to say that "No Body, No Crime" is worthy of this topic.
