TOP 23 TRACKS

I haven't posted my charts for a while. I didn't have enough time for music as such, but I also feel the last 2-3 months were not very ripe with quality stuff, which of course does not mean there were no tunes worth checking. Presented below are 23 best tracks, more or less in order from "OMG! I can't stop listening to this"  to "What a great tune". All genuine killers! Highly recommended by Doktor Krank.

TOP 23 TRACKS OF 2010 BY DOKTOR KRANK

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the time has come, as every year to post a list of the best productions of 2010. Creation of the ultimate top list is a futile task, thus my ranking is just a tip of an iceberg, as 2010 was extremely good for music I love. There are definitely names and tunes missing from this list and I had to self-limit myself painfully not to spend days on setting up this monster. I deliberately ommitted a few bigger names like Starkey or Mount Kimbie, they will anyway appear on other lists. And to be honest, I don't understand how people can manage to squeeze all great music into top 10 ?!!?!?  As with Oscar awards - music released at the end of the year tends to be over-represented but this is a rule of the game. Enjoy my Top-23 tracks and remember this is veeery subjective so I accept no complaints :))  I wish 2011 to be equally good. Howgh!
