“Fo Yo Sorrows,” a song dropped by Outkast’s Big Boi late last year that featured George Clinton and Too $hort, should have become the blunt rolling anthem of 2010. Somehow, it didn’t. Regardless, the song is tight, and today, a video directed by Zach Wolfe and Dr. Dax emerged on the interweb, with psychedelics and fog machines in tact.

So many Decade’s finest charts have resulted in a different performer taking the crown thus far, and the Onion’s A.V. club has added to this trend, choosing the White Stripes 2001 release White Blood Cells as the “Best Album of the Decade.” White Blood Cells may not even be the finest album of the decade by the White Stripes (my vote is for the follow-up, Elephant), nevermind the entire music biz.

Once again, there are some shockers in there such as Phoenix’s Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix taking the nod over the Strokes’ debut – and also NME’s top album of the decade – Is This It. Especially considering the fact that Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is more or less a Strokes record with synth. Well, I guess like the saying goes, “You can’t please them all.” Check out below for the top 10 winners, and click this link to check out their full top 50 report. Also, keep an eye out as the end of 2009 draws closer for Neon Musical Insight’s “Finest Albums of the Decade” list.
