Don’t you just love “Best Of” lists? Well 2009 is just about over and you expect to see a lot more of these lists in just about every publication. Not only is the year almost over, but the first decade of the new millennium has also come to an end. Rolling Stone has compiled a list of what they deem are the best songs of decade: 2000-2009.
Of course this list will be heavily debated for sometime, that is if Rolling Stone still has relevance and influence in the world of music. The top 5 songs on their list are:
1. Gnarls Barkley – Crazy
2. Jay-z – 99 Problems
3. Beyonce – Crazy In Love
4. Outkast – Hey Ya (Which I was almost certain would have been #1)
5. M.I.A. – Paper Planes
So many albums and so many songs have come out in the past 10 years it’s hard to even fathom how they come up with these lists.
What’s missing? I’m surprised Red Hot Chili Peppers – Dani California didn’t make the list. Also, Norah Jones…with as many grammy’s as she’s won, how does she not have one song on this list? And umm…Usher??? Seriously…no Usher?
