10 favorite songs of the last 10 years!

Recommended Posts

So I was on the phone this morning with my son back in England, when I responded to Erin's thread about favorite cover songs. I casually mentioned it to him that The Killers version Shadowplay by Joy Division was my favorite and he just threw out the question...ok Dad, give me your favorite songs of the last decade! He put me on the spot like he always does. I know his favorite book is High Fidelity, but that was a tough list to come up with! The first seven were no problem, but had a tough time making the final cut for the last three. So here they are in no particular order.

 

Silversun Pickups - Well Thought Out Twinkles

 

Silversun Pickups -Panic Switch

 

 

Kasabian - Club Foot

 

 

Mobile - Out of My Head

 

 

The New Pornographers - Mass Romantic

 

 

The Duke Spirit - Love Is An Unfamilliar Name

Keane - Is It Any Wonder

 

 

The Bravery - Believe

 

 

Elbow - Grounds For Divorce

 

 

The Dears - Lost In The Plot

 

 

That's what I got. Love them or hate them, those are my favorites from the last 10 years. He'd better not ask for my all-time 10 or it'll take forever to come up with!

Happens to me all the time.

Feels like I went from high school to old school and never kept up.

We used to listen to cassettes on our Walkman too!

I've tried and tried to think of songs from the last decade, it's HARD! Most of my favorite music comes from about the 70s to early 90s, even as early as the 50s. I'm stuck!

 

But a few did pop into my head, this is what I came up with. I can't sleep so don't judge me right now :P

 

She is Beautiful - Andrew W.K.

Safe in New York City - AC/DC

Drenched in Blood - Turbonegro

Falling Slowly - Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova

Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind - Spring Awakening Original Cast Recording (I'm giving away my HUGE love of Broadway musicals with this one)

Blinded by the Lights - The Streets

Blue Orchid - The White Stripes

Not About Love - Fiona Apple

Telephone - Lady Gaga (don't hate me, I can't help myself!)

Breathe Me - Sia

i'm with Cleo...too much weak crap in the last decade.... However70's -90's stuff was good... LOVE PearlJam, Vedder' always got deep lyrics, that have multiple meanings, but hit home... Just Breathe, Amongst the Wave, from them recently hit home...(better on CD than live on youtube)..In Hiding, Elderly WomanBehind The Counter In A Small Town..They're amazing live 3 hours+.... Also like the tortured tunes of Alice in Chains (Check My Brain) recently...
