Birth in Reverse (2013) (SNL version)
Equally appealing to me for this performance as the song itself — I happened to catch this SNL episode when it first aired. A random music touchtone I connect to the decade.

Mary Lambert
"Secrets" (2014)
I want to include this, partly a nod to my spousal (a non-CF member). Among songs this decade she specifically cited among her favorites. I consider it top-shelf ear-worm at minimum. Another tune I'll always connect with '10s radio pop.

Getting into the "Third Tier" of my playlist. I'll throw in a few more and move on. I don't want to overstay my welcome and we're reaching the point of dwindling engagement. No reason to get into a one-man listening party. 
Two Door Cinema Club
“What You Know”
From “Tourist History” (2011)

Topics like this are a good counterpoint to the common "music hasn't been any good since (insert decade here)." There's good music released all the time, you just have to keep listening and find it.
I'm sure plenty of people would listen to all these songs and still say, "Ah, none of that's any good." Oh well, that type of listener probably won't ever budge from the dismissive stance.
(Steps down from soapbox).

They were fun live, but the tall sister is odd. She makes some weird faces when performing.
Best Live Recording I heard for the first time in this period. Fell in love with her style right away, know it may not be for everyone.
Glad you like it! My buddy saw Tash play in Portugal of all places, and said they were the best live performance he's ever seen because the way you can tell they are truly feeling the music.. and the fact that she does it all herself is fascinating.
More honorable mentions:
Best song/music video that you think would be dope when on acid and eventually realize it’s so good when sober
Best song where a rapper rides a horse. The dancer in the middle at 2:06...damn
Best song referenced in above song
Also the best song named after a guy on a minutes restriction.

Best song about Arcade Fire
Best song by Arcade Fire (I think the critics say Sprawl II is the best but this is my favorite)
