Top 50 Songs of the Decade

So disgusted was I at NME’s Top Songs of the Decades list that I felt I had to rectify the unspeakable, gross injustices perpetuated by that devilrag, and make my very own Top Songs of the Decade list.

Because the years from 2000-2009 did not constitute a remarkably great musical decade (that is, George Michael released no new musical masterpieces), I had to split the Top 50 list into 3 sub-sections. There are the Truly Awesome Songs (of which there is 10), a second tier of Pretty Awesome Songs, and last, and definitely least, the Pretty Catchy Songs. To insist that they are real music is to insult the Opera Gods, but they are still, indeed, pretty catchy. And because not condemning those who are evil is an evil in itself, I have compiled a Worst 'Musicians' of the Decade List.

Remakes, releases or remixes are not included on this list. I know, you all were expecting to see "Mandy" by Westlife at #1, but sadly that is not to be the case. I know there will also be those of you who are frankly quite bewildered as to why "Flying Without Wings" is not the list. Relax, the song was released before the new millenium.
