I liked some random shit.
I have been woefully neglectful of my LiveJournal in the last year. I will be similarly neglectful and slapdash in composing this list tonight. (It is almost certainly incomplete, compiled as it was by taking all the songs I've listened to on my computer more than 10 times and filtering them by year -- since I listen to plenty of music on my iPod and not my computer, there's probably a much-listened to gem hovering around 9 computer plays that just got overlooked.) Here, in no particular order, are my 50 favorite songs of the last decade.
