Steel2Velvet Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 (edited) Time for our resident long-haired college radical (but still a darned nice guy) to offer his musical insights into mainstream Songfactor country, as we highlight TheLizard's Personal Top Ten I had an almost completely different list a few weeks ago that reflected my taste of music from the 50s until now, but there were so many well-known songs and songs that have already been in other PTT lists that I decided, since I've learned so much from this process, that I owe it to the Songfacts community to throw some music out there that they may not have heard. As such, here are 50 of my favorite songs from 2000-2010 (with a concentration on the last few years). - Tim ABCs - K'naan (2009) Barcelona - Plastiscines (2009) Bright Lights - Black Mountain (2007) The Calculation - Regina Spektor (2009) California Queen - Wolfmother (2009) Carolina Drama - The Raconteurs (2008) A Children's Crusade On Acid - Margot & the Nuclear So and So's (2008) Daniel - Bat For Lashes (2009) Elephants - Them Crooked Vultures (2009) Fortune Teller - Robert Plant and Alison Krauss (2007) The Funeral - Band of Horses (2006) Hard Times - Patrick Wolf (2009) How To Disappear Completely - Radiohead (2000) Icky Thump - The White Stripes (2007) In My Room - The Last Shadow Puppets (2008) It's My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry - Glasvegas (2008) Last Dance - The Raveonettes (2009) M79 - Vampire Weekend (2008) New Pony - The Dead Weather (2009) Northshore - Tegan & Sara (2009) Norway - Beach House (2009) Nothing To Worry About - Peter Bjorn and John (2009) Oh My God - Ida Maria (2008) Paranoia in B-Flat Major - The Avett Brothers (2007) Power Doesn't Run On Nothing - The Thermals (2006) Quiet Dog Bite Hard - Mos Def (2009) The Rake's Song - The Decemberists (2009) Romance is Boring - Los Campesinos!

MindCrime Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 There are two songs on Tim's video list that I don't see on the list here. There's only 48 listed Also is there a way of turning on the "continuous autoplay" feature on this playlist?, so I can listen to it while I do other stuff.

pinkstones Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 1. Elephants - Them Crooked Vultures (2009) 2. Fortune Teller - Robert Plant and Alison Krauss (2007) 3. Daniel - Bat For Lashes (2009) 4. New Pony - The Dead Weather (2009) 5. Use Somebody - Kings of Leon (2008) 6. Quiet Dog Bite Hard - Mos Def (2009) 7. Last Dance - The Raveonettes (2009) 8. Icky Thump - The White Stripes (2007) 9. The Calculation - Regina Spektor (2009) 10. This Fire - Franz Ferdinand (2004) This was incredibly, incredibly hard. Not necessarily in the same way that other lists have been hard, but more because this kind of music isn't what I listen to at all and I had to listen hard to pick my top 10. But I did and I enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLizard Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Oops, my mistake. If somebody could add "Silver Trembling Hands" by Flaming Lips (2009) and "Smokin' From Shootin'" by My Morning Jacket (2008) to the list I would appreciate it quite a bit. Hope everybody enjoys the music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Also, if somebody could replace the playlist link with this one ( ) it should fix the autoplay issue. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
