Best Songs of the Decade, The List's list.

Tweet

So, our little experiment is over. We did it. We duel-listed our best 100 songs of the decade. It was a time. And, according to Stevie's husband, she won. But, whatever, he is biased. Anyways, as we were posting, some interesting crossover happened that I thought would be fun to share.

Out of 101 songs each, we had ten repeats. Seems like a small amount, but I promise, it's not. If you think about how many songs were released in the last ten years, having one in common would seem like an accomplishment. So, those ten songs are listed directly below, with our average ranking in parentheses.

Sweet Disposition -- Temper Trap (4.5)

Collide -- Howie Day (15.5)


Flight 180 -- Bishop Allen (22.5)


Set The Fire To The Third Bar -- Snow Patrol (23)


The Blower's Daughter -- Damien Rice (25.5)


Orange Sky – Alexi Murdoch (26)


Its All Understood -- Jack Johnson (43)


Daylight -- Matt and Kim (73)


Hospital Beds -- Cold War Kids (74.5)


Percussion Gun -- White Rabbits (74.5)

Also, a little tidbit to chew on. Out of 202 total songs shared, these artists were represented the most between the two of us. Granted, I had all the Slow Club, John Mayer, and Manchester picks, and Stevie had all the Death Cab, Tallest Man, and Postal Service ones. But, there is a lot of crossover otherwise. But this clearly tells us, that Damien Rice, Bishop Allen and Snow Patrol are the best bands of the decade.
