Nice. I’ve been needing some new music inspiration.
I was just about to type “FIRST!”
Yes, the second part.
I listened to the other post at work today. It was perfect.
Thanks a lot for bringing this to us.
Hooray! Tame Impala!
That song has some terrific words.
yes.
Thanks for posting the list, certainly gives me a few new artists to explore… I’m curious about what sort of stipulations/rules you might have had for creating the list? (Is there a reason Dusty Brown isn’t on here at all?) And are these just Jakub’s favorites, or did other folks at iso50 contribute as well? Thanks again, the happiest of holidays to you all.
very nice playlist.
Wow, really great playlist – a lot of new stuff for me, but those I know I totally agree with.
Great job Jakub, Happy Holidays!
Jakub, nice work! It’s hard to narrow down all this music. Such a great year for music. Glad you have #21 “trapdoor” on here. I’m pleased you recognized the genius in that songl. Com Truise had a killer year… hard to pick just one of his songs! You also can’t put him on here next year because of his official Ghostly reissue of “Cyanide Sisters’. So excited for 2011 and beyond!!
alter ego…def an amazing tune
I love the list, I’ll be spending my free time over the rest of the holidays to track some of those down. 🙂
That said, I’m surprised that Shigeto and Golden Panda aren’t on this list anywhere… I see Com Truise, but no love for his labelmates? Personally I’d like to see Ann Arbor, Pt. 2 and Same Dream China on here. Also my other favorite Ghostly track of the year is missing, Multiply by Mobius Band.
Low Shoulder at number 1? pffffffff. you are The Grinch aren’t you?
slow peels should be at #1, im just sayin. nice list tho bet it took awhile to complete. happy holidays
!!
active child is #1? great! thnx a lot
happy holidays, my inspiration
oh. its only #18 ):
Topher-
Jakub does all the music posts by himself with the exception of the Playlists which are usually a collaboration between him and myself unless otherwise noted.
Lots of great music. So refreshing to see a top 50 without any Kanye West haha! Your music taste on this blog is brilliant. Bring on 2011 and Jakub’s music posts!
This list is far above and beyond awesomeness.
History is written,Jakup.
Thanx.:-)
Happy you guys are enjoying it!
nice! been waiting for this, though, argh: I have to say, i wish they were in the player in the order of favorites like they are in the numbered list below the player. small nitpick comment, I know.
Let me add to that comment, that I would like to say: THANK YOU MUSIC GODS for this blog, such superb taste in music you all have! honestly.
Hey I kinda like the player being out of order with the playlist. Less emphasis on numbers and more on listening. keep kicking ass next year!
Hey, just so you know you can download the playlist here:

🙂
great playlist, thanks! those things take serious time and energy to put together.
one missing, MICHNA… would make my top 10 easily!
and Neon Indian’s 6669!!!!!
Some of you might have noticed that I didn’t include Ghostly or Moodgadget, I didn’t want to be bias so I didn’t include releases like SVIIB, Mux, Shigeto, Gold Panda, Michna(2009), Foxes In Fiction, Beautiful Bells, The Sight Below etc
Slow Peels is incredible. I just love that track so much.
I owe you all big time for turning me onto Tame Impala, they are right up my alley.
cheers!
I have to say “Kisses – People Can Do The Most Amazing Things” is my #1 of 2010. I love that song.
