Let’s appreciate the decade

Hey everyone.  I think we should start the process of appreciating that a decade is coming to a close.  The 2000s!  They’re over.  We need to start analyzing!  Anyone up for starting some decade superlative debates on our Tumblrs?

I’ll start:

Best (mainstream) song of the decade:

Outkast’s perfect tune, “Hey Ya”

For the Honorable Mentions, I’m defining them not by actual objective musical quality, but rather by its influence on culture / affect on us / legacy.

The Next 15: Oops…I Did it Again? (produced in 1990’s but released in 2000), Lose Yourself, Yeah!, Since U Been Gone, 99 Problems, Where is the Love?, Paper Planes, Gold Digger, Don’t Know Why (Norah Jones), In the End (Linkin Park), I Want it That Way, Beautiful Day, Ms. Jackson, Say My Name, SexyBack

Others of Note:  In Da Club, Hollaback Girl, You’re Beautiful, Low, Sk8er Boi, Lady Marmalade, Crazy in Love, Single Ladies, Hot in Herre, Your Body is a Wonderland, Stacy’s Mom, Unwritten
