songs from the 2010s that looking back weren't really all that bad

[Dead Soon]

Mind you, I have a soft spot for Ed Sheeran's Castle on the Hill, so can't fucking talk.

You wouldn't be fucking saying this if you had to listen to it at least twice a day on the 'standard' workplace radio that seems to be Heart FM. ''WELLIwas 15 yearssoll' smOKin' han-rouursssigarettes''

1... 2...3...4...Ba-bup-bup-bup-baaa!

Who in the love of shitting christ would think this was a bad one

Who in the love of shitting christ would think this was a bad one

But the OP is discussing the year 2010 being really not that bad, not the acts that made it good.

In the minority here probably, but I think that the first half of that album is among the best stuff they've done.

I was absolutely dreading it, but ended up thinking it was mostly great. It's sometimes hard to shake the thought that tracks like 'Straight Sun' could really be done by any kid with a copy of Reason, but I think it's probably their best record since In Sides regardless. 'New France', 'One Big Moment' and 'Stringy Acid' are all-time career highlights.

[Jerzy Bondov]

Soon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month

Jawdroppingly, unbelievably poor stuff.

I'm still learning about life
My woman brought children for me
So I can sing them all my songs

Those poor, poor fuckers. They should be taken into care.
