Last week, we went back to 2001. Boy, are we never going there again. This time, we decided to stay a little closer to home. Times were tough, livin' in the Great Recession, but, according to Billboard, these were the tunes helping us get through it on November 19, 2010.

Despite the economic slump, and a giant BP oil spill, 2010 brought us a lot of good things. It was the year of the d̶o̶u̶b̶l̶e̶ triple rainbow, and the iPad. In November, I was in my second semester of college, and had a majority of these songs playing in my headphones, as I rode the bus and trekked across campus, because unlike 2001, it didn't totally suck.

Here are your top ten alternative songs from just a half decade ago, today.
