We're wrapping up our (OMG) second season with a salute to the 2010s by breaking down our favorites, honorable mentions, and "how the hell did they forget this" picks from Pitchfork's 200 Best Songs of the 2010s. Are there too many EDM tracks on their list? Of course. Did we each include another Kacey Musgraves song pick on our lists in addition to Pitchfork's inclusion? Duh. Was a single Britney...
