When 2010 began, I found myself sitting on a big boulder in the Nevada desert with psyche hop wizard Gonjasufi on one side and a naked model on the other. It was a suitably random start to a year that would produce some of the most eclectic and comprehensive musical editorial Dazed & Confused and Dazed Digital have ever done. As we come crashing to the end of such an eventful twelve months I thought I’d spare you the cultural dissection of the highs and lows, and just let the music do the talking. So here we go, in alphabetical order from Aloe Blacc to Zola Jesus here is a playlist of our 100 favourite artists of 2010. As always, let us know what you think, which artists and songs should have made it, and what you’re looking forward to in 2011. See you on the other side!
