Top 100 Songs of the 00's??

[Frau_Blucher]

I know I'm jumping the gun by a few months, but here we are, in the very last year of the first decade of the 21st century. Seems like we were just worrying about the millennium bug and partying like it's 1999. Anyway, anyone else care to list their top 100 indie rock/pop/next wavish songs of the decade?

I'll consider this my working list for the next few months, subject to numerous edits. My own first impression is that my list feels like it has a pretty narrow scope. I must be forgetting and missing massive amounts of good music. Eager to hear more.

I'm not to versed in this area, so these lists are great for me. Looking forward to checking out everyone's selections.


And Blir, there is not enought BSP songs on your list. What's up with that?[;)]

<br>Blir, I'm suprised that the Mary Onettes didn't rank higher on your list, 37th...really?
[/quote]
Yeah, that's a bit of an oddball. They did make the list twice though and probably could have made it 3 more times. Maybe just a better overall band than the sum of any insanely great single??

<br>I'm still very eager to see others' decade-end lists. I fully realize my list represents all my shit foibles and nothing else.

Don't worry, I'll post one as soon as I get my 2009 round-up sorted. Ten per year seems easy/hard enough![;)]

[/quote]I had a hard time keeping it to the 245 I posted in the list, there are a lot of good songs each decade (even in the 90's There are a lot of other good songs I didn't include as well (I've got over 1,300 songs in my itunes for 2000-2009).
