I enjoyed that song so much more after your endorsement.

Cinnie said:

It really is nice. I love her baby makin' ballads, but I think I enjoy her sad songs even more like "Come Back To Me", "Lonely" and "One More Chance".

This is gonna be tough. Sometimes I feel like 2000 was just last year. I can't believe the decade is almost over. That's a lot of music to consider. It's hard for me to remember it all at once to make a decent list.

GangstaFam said:

Jeez, took the words right out of my mouth --->

Cinnie said:

The previous decades are just so much more crystallized in my mind. And they all have a definite character. Sometimes I still feel like I'm trying to figure out what the 00's are about. It's hard to believe I'm going to be seeing and having to think about decade-end lists already.

I'm old.

Cinnie said:

Co-sign.

Cinnie said:

I'm one of the few who loves All for You, and it's songs like "Better Days" that put it over the top for me. A lot of people consider All for You to be the album where Janet flaked out, but there are plenty of songs with depth like "Better Days", "Truth", "Feels So Right" and "Trust a Try" that reveal the pain that she was going through.

damosuzuki said:

This will be on my favourite songs of all time! (if I ever do a list)

Unison and Pagan Poetry would be there and Dragon by Tori Amos

I do have songs that would make a great 15. But I'm still enjoying this decade and I know my list will change, so it's hard for me to just post it and let it stay without feeling the need to edit it a million times (that's what happened with my initial "Best albums from this decade so far" response)

Lately, I notice I'm really into the stuff from the last 2 years, so my list would be pretty skewed.

I haven't kept up with stuff this decade, but there was definitely some stuff I liked a lot.

7 Nation Army--White Stripes
Fell In Love with a Girl--White Stripes
& On--Erykah Badu
E Pro--Beck
There There--Radiohead
All Possibilities--Badly Drawn Boy
Promises--Badly Drawn Boy
Take Me Out--Franz Ferdinand
Ocean Breathes Softly--
The Way I Am--Eminem
Ms. Jackson--Outkast
BOB--Outkast
Rehab--Amy Winehouse
Hummingbird--Wilco
War On War--Wilco

No order, not definite...

Kudu- King Kong
Prince- Love
Van Hunt- Down Here in Hell
Shakira- La Tortura
Incubus- Here in My Room
Amy Winehouse- Back to Black
Gym Class Heroes- Viva La White Girl
Paul Oakenfold- Faster Kill Pussycat
AFI- Killing Lights
Sade- By Your Side
Janet- Feedback
Destiny's Child- Say My Name
Linkin Park- Papercut
