"Best" Songs of the Decade

www.rollingstone.com...

All I'm saying is "WTF!?" regarding #1. It's good, but not that good.

I noticed that this song was number 79 on the list.


Robert Plant and Alison Krauss - Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On) (2007)




...but I prefer this one:


Robert Plant and Alison Krauss - Killing the Blues (2007)

OK, I really am getting old as I don't recognize most of these songs. I'm glad that Alecia Moore is in there though at #81 as I do enjoy her music.

For the most part, I found the entire list to be utter tripe. I mean Kelly Clarkson??? Puhlease! Gimme a damn break!

Yeah, best songs according to who???

Band of Horses should be on that list. Either for "I go to the barn becase I like the" or "no one's gonna love you"

The Avett Brothers should be on there for "I and Love and You"

three amazing songs about love.

I had to get down to #15 before I saw one I recognized. Whatever happened to Blue Oyster Cult?

Man I miss real music...not this cookie cutter/vending machine crap

I love my music between 1959-1992

There are a few on there that aren't bad but hey...I must just be old

There are good new bands, its just the music press rarely if ever pays any attention to them.

Personally I nominate this as the song of the decade

I think it's the fact that there is a lot less radio listening these days, and more of the mp3 listening. I remember waiting for a new album to come out and now really don't know when that happens.

Either that, or the new bands just aren't that great.

I suppose my hard headed daughter might agree with the list I dont know. I didn't recognize a lot of the songs in the top ten. If it aint hip- hop to her its old peoples music.


I bet Tracy Bird's Love Lessons wasn't in there any where. That should have been near the top in my opinion but everyone has a different one dont they? That song had to have stemmed from a one liner somewhere.

I like that old time Rock and Roll

This is a huge point.

With mp3s and iPhones, everyone walks around in their own little world.

There is just no one place to hear music. Radio is pretty dead. I've been introduced to more interesting music through YouTube and Mutter than any radio station or television station in recent memory.

There's not much of a "water cooler" right now for music that's not corporate sponsored.

On the whole a dissapointingly crap and irrelevant list. Why the top slots are dominated by supermarket hip-hop I'll never know?
I'd probably agree with about 20 of the entries in that list...

It's so bad, it's kinda good. The United States of Pop 2009:
