Yes, with the following requirements:

(2) multiple unpub­lished works if the elements are assembled in an orderly form; the combined elements bear a single title identifying the collection as a whole; the copyright claimant in all the elements and in the collection as a whole is the same; and all the elements are by the same author or, if they are by dif­ferent authors, at least one of the authors has contributed copyrightable authorship to each element;

If you copyright 10 songs as a collection are they all protected individually - if not why is that bad?

If you copyright 10 songs as a collection, they are not individually protected. This means that if someone were to use one of the songs from the collection without permission, you would have to prove that the entire collection was copied rather than just the individual song. This can be problematic as it requires more evidence and potentially makes the legal process more complicated.
