Here are the videos that caught the Devil's eye this week...
Where have the last 12 months gone? It only seems like yesterday that I was sitting down to consider the best tracks of 2009 and here I am again sifting through the profusion of songs that my lit up my ears during the year.1. What Would Jesus Drive – The Girls Are In Charge
The track of the year from one of the bands to watch in 2011. An electro glam rocker that sounds like someone turned The Ting Tings inside out and injected the remains with rocket fuel. One day all music will be this good. 
Last year I predicted that that much maligned musical form D.I.S.C.O could be the musical phenomenon of 2010 and I was part right. While D.I.S.C.O was swamped by the omnipresent Witch House in 2010's genre wars the Devil's second favourite track of the year was the best indie disco makeover since Blondie ditched their leathers and headed for the dancefloor with Heart of Glass. If the 18 Carat Love Affair's mighty, majestic monster of a song 'Construct' was indie disco's John The Baptist then 'All Around And Away We Go' could well be it's Jesus equivalent.
3. Warpaint – Billie Holiday
In any other year Everything Everything's 'Photoshop Handsome' would probably have been number one of the year. It's a reflection of how good a year it's been that it just about scrapes into the top 5. It's the kind of intelligent indie rock that will hopefully make a return in 2011 after a short hiatus while the world went electro. It's poppy, it’s as catchy as a porcine based pandemic and it’s unique. It's the type of song that makes the daily grind feel a little less grinding. If Everything Everything aren't one of the bands of 2011 then I'll eat my laptop.
Irish punktonic trio Not Squares served up the longest track to make it into the Devil's top 10 of 2010. 'Release The Bees' is a frenzied seven and a half minute sensory assault that's more wired than a toddler group on red bull. 
Sharp Teeth starts off like the great grandsons of Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club band tuning up before morphing into a Beckesque shuffle. It's bizarre, idiosyncratic, refreshingly original and worthy of a place in the Devil's top 10 of 2010. 
'Shame Is On Your Side' is the missing link between The Supremes and The Pretenders at their poppiest. It's a huge song. It's pop so big it could consume the planet with a vocal performance that could stop traffic. It's the sort of performance that makes you glad to be alive. While the track was actually released about 2 years ago I unearthed it in 2010 and therefore it deserves it's place in the list of favourites for the year. The top 10 would be a poorer place without it.
'Dennis Bergkamp' sounds like a less whimsical and ballsier Young Knives and, like most of the tracks in the Devil's top 10, it's original with a touch of off the wall eccentricity. If there was any justice in the world Cheryl Cole would be scanning groceries and the Guildean Gang would have been world wide mega stars. The band have subsequently changed their name and now ply their trade under the altogether more commonplace and homely Curtains.
Brighton's Elizabeth Walling, aka Gazelle Twin is a dream weaver, a dealer in ambience. She channels the spirits of Portishead, Lamb and Fever Ray into a bewitching, beguiling brew that shivers the soul. She sounds like Enya getting in touch with her dark side.
The brilliantly titled Her Scabby Knees with it's haunting, ghostly echoes starts out with an ambition to become the 21st centuries Ghost Town before turning into a lilting, downbeat psych folk ode to the owner of the local abattoir. Every top 10 should have one. 
Witch House was the underground genre of the blogosphere in 2010 and 2011 will surely be the year it goes mainstream. There are so many Witch House tracks to choose from but I plumped for Modern Witches' Measure Me For Size which sounded like The Normal dabbling in witchcraft. Although there were a number of better known tracks from the likes of Balam Acab or oOoOO it was Modern Witch who sounded the most revolutionary and completely bewitched this Devil with some of the most frightening video music combinations this side of the Saw horror franchise.
Power and glory combined need I say more?
