2000-2009:  Music in Review / Glenn’s 100 favorite songs of the decade

For the past nine years, I have come up with year-end top 20 lists.  To culminate the decade, I attempted, in vain, to complete a top 150 list of my favorite songs of the decade.  I hit an impasse in the #40s onwards - how do I differentiate songs numbered 40 and 41, and 64 ( Read more... )

OOH! My list would look totally different, obviously (for one thing, there is a palpable lack of Rilo Kiley! Oversiiiight!) but i appreciated reading through this and found myself high fiving you at various points.

I had The Execution of All Things (or I Never, i think?) somewhere between 100-150 in my original list. But yeah, oversight! :P

Happy new year, by the way, Sandee! -- I lost your cell # by the way when my phone got stolen. Please send through PM?

Oh and I just realized my profile picture is really really really old. I was just seventeen here. Guess I never really around to fixing my LJ.

Haha! Thanks thanks! :)

I already have three Strokes songs in there -- and I wasn't too hot for Reptilia. The second album's highlight was definitely Under Control, IMO. Happy new year!

The much awaited list! I would have thought you'd put Young Folks in your top ten, and Ibi instead of Anthems in your top ten also. And for From the Airwaves---Drop It Like It's Hot. Hehe

And...Why no local songs?

Hehe... I wanted to put a few Dorques, Taken by Cars, or Itchyworms songs in there, and maybe early Sandwich and Urbandub, but I figured I'd make a separate list for that :)
