Yes, I know that, because there was no Year 0, 2020 is technically the end of the current decade; but I do not know anyone who was around 2019 years ago. Therefore, I like to think of 2010-2019 as one decade. I started the decade by watching my new The Hangover DVD in my old apartment. I think I bought that DVD at the Ramsey Borders. I did not have a SmartPhone, or even a dog, back then. Much has happened and changed over the past 10 years, and we have had many, many great songs take us along that journey.
Therefore, during the last school day before Christmas Break, I gave my students a fill-in-the-blank list of my 100 favorite songs of the 2010s. It was fun for me to reminisce on the ups and downs of the decade through music, and I would like to give you the opportunity to take that same ride. If you are interested, please feel free to enjoy this same "fill-in-the-blank" list. It provides a great trip down memory lane through the decade that gave us the terms, "GTL", "hashtag", "I can't even", "fake news", and "woke".
The guidelines of the list are as follows:
1) I provide the first letter of each word in the song title and do the same for the artist. You must fill in the blanks.
2) I use only songs that have received at least a modicum of radio airplay. Thus, a song like Fall Out Boy's "The Phoenix" would be in the Top 5 if I allowed album tracks but does not appear on my actual list.
3) I have ranked the songs by how much I generally like them. At any given moment, songs can fluctuate up and down. That said, there might be moments when I might enjoy Song #49 more than Song #47, but it is unlikely that I would ever feel better about Song #49 than Song #19.
4) I am human and make mistakes. After I first released the list, I realized that I had forgotten "One Foot", by Walk the Moon. That song would certainly make my Top 40 if not for my error. Similarly, Panic! at the Disco's "Death of a Bachelor" would have made the Top 20, but I have never heard it on the radio. On the other hand, some of my students say that the song has received some radio airplay and thus warrants being on the list. Oh well.
Anyway, below is the sheet with the blank spaces (hint, hint) and an answer key. Have fun!
