Rather than going for a look back over the last year or decade I’ve decided to make my end of year post my first ever that is absolutely nothing to do with education!
Instead, as I am incredibly passionate about music i’ve decided to list what I humbly believe to be the greatest songs of the decade. I don’t expect anyone to agree, particularly as I’ve been told on more than one occasion that I have slightly alternative taste in music! However I hope by posting this at least one person discovers a great song or band that they hadn’t heard of before.
Restrictions:
- I have only included songs in my own music collection.
- I have tried to be as impartial as possible, distancing myself from any emotional attachments that may sway me (although detachment kind of defeats the point of music!)
- Only original songs are included, no covers.
- Only one song per artist can be included.
10 Live – Heaven
9 Everclear – Blackjack
8 Smashing Pumpkins – Tarantula
7 The Prodigy – Omen
6 The Killers – All These Things That I`ve Done
5 Black Car – Asleep at the wheel
4 Muse – Knights of Cydonia
3 Enjoy Destroy – Lobby Pianist or link for whole song if you have Spotify installed
2 Fightstar – Mono
1 Feeder – Buck Rogers
