since it's about to come to a close this is a good opportunity to reflect on the last 10 years. what are your favorite albums of the decade? or songs? or acts you think defined the decade? or...anything. i was going to make this an albums of the decade thread at first but i know some people don't actually listen to full albums anymore . so you can take your pick for whatever musical top 10 you want to do.

pick 10 and feel free to give some runners up, as well as explanations of your choices if you want too.



i need to think about my list a little more then i will post.

Detox

YOU BELONG WITH ME


SWEET DREAMS



BAD ROMANCE

Hmmm, good NY resolution idea, actually.

And heh heh here we go w/ favorites:

Britney - Toxic
I KNOW HOW BAD THIS MAKES ME LOOK. But this was Brit after she shed her innocence and before she went batshit crazy. AKA when she was the hottest in every sense of the world. The first time I saw this video was the first serious time I was like WHOA girls can be really pretty like that!

Rilo Kiley - More Adventurous (album)
One of the few CD's I bothered to buy after 2004 and I know each song by heart. I started listening to the sadder songs during a sad timeofmylife, and ever since then, this CD's had a special place in my heart. The lyrics don't mean as much anymore, but the song's are catchy, too, so I still listen to it.

Feist - Mushaboom
Started listening to it more when I started "recovering" from the sad time. really represented hope at the time.

AHHHHH FUHHHHHHHHHHHHH I JUST REALIZED I HAVE A FRAT QUIZ IN AN HOUR. ~TBC
