I'm hoping Green Day was just a typo, too.

Gish! I'd love you to post a list!

Moonbeam said:

Sorry, that *is* the order of my list.
This is only albums and songs that *I* was touched by--not what I consider to be worthy for others to listen to.

Moonbeam said:

I'm gonna post my 100 songs list in a few seconds, I should have a shorter albums list up later today or tomorrow.

Imago said:

Oh, that's what I hope everyone has done with their lists. All I'm saying is that you can tack on Scissor Sisters in 11th place, if you want.

Here's my sorry, no years, is this good enough for submission, or do you still want an excel doc?

Just damn infectious, I have no idea what they are saying and since I don't have Bjork in my list....

7. Eddie Vedder – Society

Ah, no words for this, If this were released in the early 90's it would have been an Anthem. It's anthem for me. I'm not posting a link because you guys should already know this song.

6. Immortal Technique – Bin Laden feat. Mos Def

This song along with What would you do by Paris basically is my opinion of the world affairs especially in the last 10 years.

5. Margaret Berger – Samantha
Junior Senior's – Move Your Feet and Kylie Minogue's - Can’t Get You out of My Head is not my favorite dance song of the decade, this is...

Another Dance track, but an "instrumental" So I guess this is my favorite dance song. This is major jump off, I'm sure you guys know this one.



3. Bat for Lashes – Daniel

Maybe because it's new, but it's just so Sinead,Kate Bush....


2. Ladyhawke – Magic
This song is a classic, pure magic, pure night time...



1. Lykke Li – I'm Good, I'm Gone

An Infectious Fuck off song, now one of my all time favorites

AlexdeParis said:

Sorry to be a stickler, but Alfterglow was released in 1999.

I am however impressed with your devotion to Neil Finn. Probably the best song writer since Lennon/McCartney IMO. So yes, I agree he is a god. But aside from a few tracks I never fully got into 'Time On Earth'. Though you have inspired me to give it a fresh listen.

TyphoonTip said:

Afterglow wasn't released here in America until 2000, so I included it anyway. As far as Neil goes, he's absolutely my favorite songwriter of all time. Great guy, too -- I've gotten to meet him several times. Musically, he's never disappointed me yet (well, except a couple of Enz tracks, but he was still young then). I think it says a lot about the guy when he can get members of Radiohead, Pearl Jam, the Smiths, Wilco, etc. to record with him just by asking.

Albums:
1. India Arie - Testimony Vol 1. Life & Relationship

Songs:
1. India Arie - This too shall pass

I am just surprised that India Arie has (almost) been unmentioned...i believe she is by far the best R&b artist on this moment out there...strange....

Thanks for all of the submissions, guys! It's going to take me a bit of time to tabulate all of the results. As such, I'll still accept any ballots submitted in the next 2 days!

Happy New Year to everyone, and thank you so much for participating. I'm thinking of running a similar poll for albums and songs from ANY year after this is done, if interest is sufficient.

My formula doesn't work for only one album (or one song). Care to add some more?

AlexdeParis said:

Fair enough ...just saw 1999 on my disc.

Funny you say that about enz. Some of my favourite 'Finn' moments are from that era. In fact 'Message To My Girl' is my all time favourite song of his. No matter the arrangement, that song is simply amazing.

Never a more perfect song written.

TyphoonTip said:

Oh, I love the Enz. I just don't think he had perfected his craft at that point. "Message to My Girl" is fantastic, but my favorite Enz song is definitely "The Devil You Know."

For my money, the most perfect song ever written is "Don't Dream It's Over."
