I'm working on a playlist of popular songs from the last decade. Well, popular with a bit of a rock/alt leaning. Stuff that gets overused in the media is a plus. Or a ton of radio play.

Nice!

I'm also fond of "Float On" by Modest Mouse and "Ruby" by Kaiser Chiefs if you're still looking for suggestions.

In that case, here's what I woke up to in my head this morning: "Handlebars" by Flobots.

There's also always the "apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur" song... ;)

oh yeah, that Bananas song would be good from Gwen (or that Hollaback girl one?), and the title track from American Idiot, too. I don't think I have anything by the White Stripes but I know that makes me a weirdo, so I'll have to make a trip to amazon and stock up.

Snow Patrol - Run

I totally was going to say Long December by the Counting Crows, but I believe that's too old.

"Umbrella" by Rihanna... well, it's not alt-leaning, come to think of it.
"Here It Goes Again" by OK Go
"Rehab" by Amy Winehouse (even though I friggin' hate it and her, it's a big hit)
Maybe something by Maroon 5?
