FAVORITE 50 TRACKS OF THE 2000'S Since the decade is half-way over (actually, more than half over), I thought it was a good time to go back and reflect over the songs that meant the most to me so far. I limited it to one track per artist (including solo artists/bands... i.e. no Annie Lennox AND Eurythmics). I worked on it quite a while, and this is what I came up with. Every single one of these tracks I love dearly, and in particular the tracks in the Top 10.
I would be very intersted to see other people's lists!! 1.Taxi Ride-Tori Amos 2.Everything In Its Right Place-Radiohead 3.Fight Test-The Flaming Lips 4.Too Cool For This World-Josh Clayton-Felt 5.Tunnels-Arcade Fire 6.Cigarettes & Chocolate Milk-Rufus Wainwright 7.Mississippi-Bob Dylan 8.Us-Regina Spektor 9.Essence-Lucinda Williams 10.Priests & Paramedics-Pedro the Lion 11.Maybe Someday-The Cure 12.Pavement Cracks-Annie Lennox 13.Home and Dry-Pet Shop Boys 14.Kite-U2 15.Can't Lose You-Caedmon's Call 16.Bandit-Neil Young & Crazy Horse 17.Run-Snow Patrol 18.Wait in a Line-Now It's Overhead 19.New Killer Star-David Bowie 20.King of the Mountain-Kate Bush 21.The End-The Motorhomes 22.Maps-Yeah Yeah Yeahs 23.I've Been High-REM 24.Worn Me Down-Rachel Yamagata 25.Wild-Poe 26. 22: End of Romance-The Dears 27.King of Nails-Sparklehorse 28.Reflection-Prince 29.The New Kid-Old '97s 30.Neverland-Cindy Bullens 31.Change-Tracy Chapman 32.To Be Free-Emiliana Torinni 33.Rise-Azure Ray 34.Tom the Model-Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man 35.Don't Call Me-Tony Rich Project 36.Below the Belt-Dear John Letters 37.Evil-Interpol 38.Recovery-Kosheen 39.Nobody Has to Know-Phil Roy 40.We're On Drugs-Pitty Sing 41.Goodnight Sweetheart-Human Drama 42.Crying in the Rain-Erasure 43.Cellopane-Casey Stratton 44.The Road Leads Where Its Led-Secret Machines 45.The Luckiest-Ben Folds 46.Strange Condition-Pete Yorn 47.Poor Edward-Tom Waits 48.He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot-Grandaddy 49.Irish Blood, English Heart-Morrissey 50.Deathly-Aimee Mann | |

I like Emiliana's voice better in a more electronic-flavored setting, I think. | |
