Best Decade Tournament 2000s: mike wins for realz!

[epilogue]

I'm around for the next 10 hours or so. Include a youtube link with any PM, please.

has BigRed been PM'd?

ryan adams is another artist I know people swear by. I haven't heard very much, and I don't dislike what i've heard, but nothing has made me want to seek him out further either.

Fucking incredible. I'm biased though because he is probably my favorite songwriter of all time. This album (Heartbreaker) changed my life. Corny I know.

I expect to see at least half of that album drafted in this tournament.

I saw them in 2004 or so. I was surprised at how much they rocked out in concert. Great live band!

The Shins - New Slang

Very nice.

I will have a hard time not adding another RA song.

Heartbreaker is one of my top 3-5 albums ever. No argument from me there.

The Shins - New Slang

Love it.

Saw them a couple years ago. Great show.

I had a Broken Bells song on my list but that first album came out in 2010 not 2009. Booooooo.

Off topic,

I hope we do a 2010-present tourney too. This is way too much fun.

A couple of friends of mine did a cover of this song, I think I may even prefer it to the original:

your friends sound a lot like zach de la rocha

[ABNorman]

I was expecting more snarky backlash for The Shins (is that almost totally a result of everyone turning on Garden State?). Glad that hasn't happened.

The Shins - New Slang

Let's all welcome Zach Braff to the board!

Edited to add: I dig The Shins. This song needed to be drafted.

Arctic Monkeys - A Certain Romance

i love that album, but that's far from my favourite tune on it.

It's not mine either, but it's the song that introduced me to the band, so it kind of holds a special place in my heart.

My #1 would have to be Fake Tales of San Fran, but it's tough to choose.

Arctic Monkeys - A Certain Romance

Another band I know of but was not familiar with. Here we go...

lets not talk about
