What's my criteria? Well, if I can play the song on repeat like 10 times and never get tired of it. Or if only by hearing that one song was I moved to purchase the whole album. Or any song that made me laugh and/or cry out loud ("Tribute," for instance, accomplishes both of these things). Some of these songs might not be the best of the whole decade, but their my favourite. What are yours?
Two honorable mentions I forgot to include:
ReplyDeleteThe Saints Are Coming / Green Day & U2
Hey Ya / Outkast
Both worthy inclusions, but sadly not in my iTunes library. :)
