The 25 Best Songs Of The Decade

[im short]

Definitely.

 

[proud walker]

These were dangerously close to making my list.

 

[mohanasundaram.n.]

**** in my pants is probably the only worthy song there with the exception of GY!BE. It has miles more artistic merit than anything by the Gorillaz.

 

[pkrface13]

Absolutely love these two songs.

 

[david x]

Yeah, I guess I did a decade and three/quarters. Oh well.

 

[Sari]

w00t!

 

[c-My-p-P]

The art of the pop song is rather unappreciated on here methinks.

I love you for loving Missy Higgins.

 

[miss g!]

Motion Picture Soundtrack is fantastic, love when all the orchestration suddenly comes in. To be honest, though, almost every song on that album is absolutely fantastic. It'll appear once more on the list, though i'm not gonna say what song.
