I hope you all had a Happy Christmas! I sure did. Lots of church. I sang solos at both of our worship services. Performed a newer song by downhere called How Many Kings. I'm also pleased to announce my next show will be Friday, Jan. 22, 2010 at the Joint. The Joint is at 8771 W. Pico in LA. I've played there dozens of times, but not in 2+ years. There will be no cover, i.e. a free show!
Well, I've narrowed down the nominees for my own decade ending Top 10 lists. I will begin with the Top 30 recordings (as in singles and tracks) from the past 10 years. There was some great music once I dug through the virtual crates that are my iPod. There are bound to be songs that slipped through the cracks, but if they did, how could they have been one of my top 10 for the 00's?
I'll confess, two of my own sides are listed, but I'd be lying if they weren't among my fave 30 from the past ten. I've turned these 30 cuts into a playlist on my iPod that I will put on shuffle. Then, I will whittle this list down to 10 by Thursday. Here they are, in no particular order:
Hey Ya - Outkast
SexyBack - Justin Timberlake
Last Nite - The Strokes
Crazy In Love - Beyonce
Flourescent Adolescent - Arctic Monkeys
Girls In Their Summer Clothes - Bruce Springsteen
Crazy - Gnarls Barkley
A Talent For Loving - Norman Kelsey
Fill My Little World - The Feeling
Valerie - Mark Ronson feat. Amy Winehouse
White Winter Hymnal - Fleet Foxes
99 Problems - Jay-Z
Warwick Avenue - Duffy
Ms. Jackson - Outkast
Bright Idea - Orson
Grace - Supergrass
Black Sweat - Prince
No You Girls - Franz Ferdinand
Is It Any Wonder? - Keane
How Many Kings - downhere
Gold Digger - Kanye West
You Know My Name - Chris Cornell
Everything My Heart Desires - Norman Kelsey
Are You Gonna Be My Girl - Jet
Guerilla Radio - Rage Against The Machine
Plug It In - Basement Jaxx feat. JC Chasez

Do You Want To - Franz Ferdinand
Toxic - Britney Spears
Beautiful Day - U2
Let the shuffling commence!

Tell me Ms. Jackson... That's quite a list, and hard to argue with. (You even got me to dig out the Arctic Monkeys track.)
ReplyDeleteYou might have made it a baker's two-and-a-half dozen and come up with one more, no? Gee, 1 song to add would be pressure. You can do it. We can help... Jamiroquai (Seven Days)? MJ (Invincible was 2001, so You Rock My World)? Seal (Get It Together)? George Michael (almost any of Patience tracks - Flawless or Cars and Trains)? How about the Fratellis' Chelsea Dagger? You're Not My Girl by Ryan Leslie? Down by Love or Fallout or U Had the $? Oh, for Pete's sake, the decade of 43 had some great music!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours, my brother!
