21 Favorite Songs of the Decade

Things I realized while compiling a 2000-2009 list:

1. My 90s list would have had more hip-hop, more confessional-style songs from piano-playing females, and some Swedish people.

2. If I tried to draw up a list of my favorites from the 80s, I'd have way more than 21 songs.

3. I'm too lazy to order these by favoritism, either ascending or descending.

#1: The Flaming Lips - "Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell" (2002)

One of my favorite songs for the second stage of post-breakup recovery. The sentiment behind this song is simple, but it's the perfect medicine for self-pity...whenever I eventually tire of self-pity.
