My Top 10 Favorite Songs of the Naughties

In no particular order...and no repeat artists...

1) As Lovers Go, Dashboard Confessional
2) Come Clean, Hilary Duff
3) Love You Madly, Cake
4) She Will Be Loved, Maroon 5
5) Best of You, Foo Fighters
6) Nineteen, Tegan and Sara
7) Over My Head, The Fray
8) The Scientist, Coldplay
9) Calling You, Blue October
10) Still Fighting It, Ben Folds


Okay, this was a lot harder than I thought it would be...I think we tend to focus on the most recent songs, so looking back at bands like Cake, who's album Fashion Nugget (released in 2001) rocked my world, although not until 2004 when I was in high school, was interesting. Wow, run-on sentence.

I suppose these are songs that I liked during the last ten years and still like today, although they are not my top ten favorite songs at the moment that happen to have been released in the last ten years. Does that make sense? Nor is this a list of my favorite songs DURING the last ten years- ie, you won't see any N*Sync on the list.

Honorable mentions go to...

Red Red Red, Fiona Apple
You and Me, Lifehouse
Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Jet
Fidelity, Regina Spektor
Since U Been Gone, Kelly Clarkson

I'm sure I'll wake up tonight and think, "Oh dammit! I forgot about such and such!" But the beauty of this is that I can go back and edit it whenever I want. For now, this is it though. What're yours?
