your favorite song of the last decade

[Mike]

Joanna Newsom - Sawdust and Diamonds


Songs I was considering:
Sigur Rós - Hoppípolla
Fleet Foxes - The Shrine/An Argument

Oh, and I totally forgot about The Trapeze Swinger, that song is so good.

I'm like 6 pages behind on this thread. I started this at a bad time

[Blue Mosquito]

I've been umming and aahing for ages here but it's this (as recently posted in the appropriate band thread):

The Walkmen - The Rat

Excellent choice. I've always thought that was their best song. Their album You & Me was one of my favorites a few years back. I may need to revisit to see how it holds up.

Lindsey Buckingham - "Time Precious Time"

Yeah - people don't seem to get this do they?

Probably Black Hearted Love, from the last Pj Harvey/John Parish album.

A simple tune for a complex man.

Probably Black Hearted Love, from the last Pj Harvey/John Parish album.

That would definitely be in my top ten. What a fantastic song.
