Top 100

I seem to still be on a music kick. My friend Billy recently posted his 100 favorite songs of the decade on facebook. Here was my initial thought: "What a grand idea! But I bet that must have taken FOREVER." It does take a little while, but thinking of 100 songs you love is actually a lot easier than you think. I didn't try to put the songs in order though, because ranking just seemed like more than my little head could handle. Here's what I came up with:

1. The Hush Sound-Hurricane
2. Chairlift-Bruises
3. Lily Allen-LDN
4. Andrew Bird-Nervous Tick Motion of the Head to the Left
