So, there it is folks. An entire decade of music boiled down to what I loved most these last ten years. Here's to another decade of awesome indie pop.

The person who filled this out before me had really pathetic taste in music... Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus. o.o

1. How did you get into 29? (Arctic Monkeys)
-It was quite a while ago, so I'm not really sure. I must have been at least 12 or 13.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? (The Killers)
-Somebody Told Me. Am had it on some mixed CD, whenever it was that the song came out. Were we like 14?

3. What's your favorite lyric by 33? (Rilo Kiley)
-"You say I choose sadness, that it never once has chosen me. Maybe you're right."

4. How did you get into 49? (Hollywood Undead)
-I asked my ex what he'd like on his mixed CD that I was making him, and he said a whole bunch of Hollywood Undead. We had both only heard Undead at that point. So I guess my ex got me into them?

5. How many albums by 13 do you own? (The Magnetic Fields)
-Well, I have their entire discography... on my laptop. :p

6. What is your favorite song by 50? (Three Days Grace)

-Oh, plenty. Especially We Might As Well Be Strangers.

-I really have no idea. I usually listen to them as a whole... if that makes any sense.

9. What is your favorite song by 5? (Tegan and Sara)

-I don't believe so. I think these last two questions need to be swapped. :p

17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23? (Gregory and the Hawk)
-I'm not entirely sure, but I do believe it might have been Boats and Birds.

18. What's your favorite lyric by 11? (The Sounds)
-I'm not really sure, since I don't pay complete attention to their lyrics. How about "We'll be the same tomorrow, 'cause we've all been Painted by Numbers." ;)

19. Who is a favorite member of 1? (Death Cab for Cutie)

-Jolene or Comfort Eagle. And every other song by them...

29. What was the first song you ever heard by 32? (The Honorary Title)
-I'm not really sure, but I think it was probably Frame by Frame, since I was introduced to the band by Amber, and that's her favorite song by them. Idk. Maybe she'd remember. :p

30. What is you favorite song by 8? (The Shins)
-New Slang. Mmm. Memories. <3 :)

-Never, haha. And I most likely never will, considering they're like. Nonexistent now. :p There's always DCFC. XP

32. Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy? (Starfucker)

-Rivers Cuomo. He was just in an accident, actually. D:

49. What is the first song you ever heard by 43? (Bishop Allen)
-Not sure. You know, this survey would be a million times better if you gave different questions rather than just repeating the same five or so.

50. What is your favorite song by 20? (Page France)
-Ribs.

101. Muse - Map Of Your Head
Impressively, this is one of two Muse B-sides on the list, showing the depth of their catalogue.

102. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps
This was released back in 2003 and it still feels fresh.

103. Death Cab for Cutie - Marching Bands of Manhattan
Okay, the lyrics are mostly cringe-worthy (except for the part about living like a hermit in your own head), but it's a great tune.

104. Oceansize - Massive Bereavement
Oceansize is probably the most underrated band of our time. The climax of this song is mind-blowing.

105. Slow Club - Me and You
"I've got a feeling someone else is reading the letters I wrote to you."
"Well my pet's illiterate and I live alone, so it's someone in betwixt of me and you."

106. The Mars Volta - Meccamputechture
They manage to make a saxophone sound menacing, which is an accomplishment in itself.

107. Oceansize - Meredith
The first Oceansize song I really loved. Apparently this was on The O.C.?

108. The National - Mistaken for Strangers
It's hard for The National to make a really bad song, because Matt Berninger's voice is so awesome, but the songwriting on this one stands out.

109. Frightened Rabbit - The Modern Leper
An overwhelmingly good track.

110. Joanna Newsom - Monkey & Bear
Lyrically, this is Joanna Newsom's most cohesive song. It tells an interesting story, which unlike most of her songs is fairly easy to follow.

111. Animal Collective - My Girls
Animal Collective: it's not just for hipsters anymore!

112. Fleet Foxes - Mykonos
I can't decide whether this or White Winter Hymnal is their best song. This is the more complex of the two, though.

113. The New Pornographers - Myriad Harbour
The vocals on this song are just bursting with joy. It's hard not to smile when you listen to it.

114. Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)
Youthful idealism tinged with sorrow in the form of a song.

115. Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows
That riff!

116. Radiohead - Nude
I'm just glad that when I google this I don't get pictures of Thom Yorke naked.
("You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking...")

117. The Decemberists - O Valencia!
Colin Meloy's voice is always kind of flat, but it's got a certain charm, especially on this song.

118. Grizzly Bear - On a Neck, On a Spit
These guys sure can write songs. Everything on this song is put together perfectly, but the drumming stands out.

119. Regina Spektor - On the Radio
This song reminds me how great "November Rain" is. Also, it's got some of Regina Spektor's most touching lyrics.

120. Oceansize - One Day All This Could Be Yours
Chilling.

121. Joanna Newsom - Only Skin
The best song on the best album of the decade. I can't possibly say enough good things about it.

122. Oceansize - Ornament/the Last Wrongs
If you only listen to one Oceansize song, make it this one. But really, you should listen to everything they've ever recorded.

123. Okkervil River - Our Life Is Not a Movie or Maybe
Yet again, Will Sheff's impassioned vocals make this song.

124. Audioslave - Out Of Exile
Awesome solo.

125. Hot Chip - Over And Over
The joy of repetition.

126. Björk - Pagan Poetry
One of the best videos of the decade, for one of the best tracks.

127. of Montreal - The Past is a Grotesque Animal
Too many good lyrics to list. The 12 minutes go by like 4.

128. Regina Spektor - Pavlov's Daughter
The best of her early songs, on which her quirkiness really comes through.

129. Joanna Newsom - Peach, Plum, Pear
Best harpsichord solo since The Art of the Fugue?

130. The Shins - Phantom Limb
Well, The Shins didn't change my life, but this is a great song.

131. Muse - Plug In Baby
Sure, it's just an arpeggio, but I bet you've never come up with a riff this good.

132. Coldplay - Politik
This is from when Coldplay used to write good songs. Ah, those were the days.

133. Explosions in the Sky - A Poor Man's Memory
A lot of EITS songs leave me cold, but I really like this (and Have You Passed Through This Night?).

134. Ludovico Einaudi - Primavera
This is the only classical song on my list - I mean, the 21st century isn't exactly known for its classical music. Einaudi obviously takes a cue from Vivaldi, because you can hear the influence of the cascading strings from the last movement of Summer (not Spring, ironically) on this track.

135. Animal Collective - The Purple Bottle
Animal Collective's lyrics are somehow obtuse and direct at the same time, especially in their love songs: "Sometimes I'm naked and thank God sometimes you're naked, well hello." The last couple minutes of this song are incredible.

136. The Fiery Furnaces - Quay Cur
This is the first Fiery Furnaces song I heard, and I was hooked after about 30 seconds.

137. Carla Bruni - Quelqu'un m'a dit
I'm willing to bet that Michelle Obama couldn't write a song this good.

138. Bon Iver - Re: Stacks
"This is not the sound of a new man or a crispy realization"

139. Regina Spektor - Real Love
I don't listen to many covers, and this is the only one on my list. But damn, the crescendo at the end is soulful.

140. Mates of State - The Re-Arranger
Again, how am I the only one who really loves Re-Arrange Us?

141. Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies)
The best song on the album, and it's an amazing album.

142. Muse - Recess
Most bands would kill to have a bassline like this on an A-side or an album track, let alone a B-side.

143. Radiohead - Reckoner
Thom Yorke singing "Because we separate like ripples on a blank shore..." gives me goosebumps every time.

144. The Strokes - Reptilia
Incredibly catchy. This is the song that made me pay attention to the Strokes.

145. Portishead - The Rip
Haunting. The keyboards and general droniness at the end combine perfectly with Beth Gibbons' vocals.

146. Akron/Family - River
What an uplifting song. It's even more awesome live, like every Akron/Family song. (Seriously, their live show is like a big party.)

147. Bright Eyes - Road to Joy
Okay, it's pretty lazy to use Ode to Joy as the basis for a song, but Conor Oberst does magical things with it.

148. Islands - Rough Gem
This is what cotton candy would be like in the form of music.

149. The Mars Volta - Roulette Dares (The Haunt of)
Surprisingly, since De-Loused in the Comatorium is my favourite Mars Volta album, this is the only song from it on my list. The "exoskeletal junction at the railroad delayed" refrain is stunning.

150. Au - RR vs. D
This sounds like the kind of song WHY? would write, and that's a good thing. It also has pretty much the best use of handclaps in an indie song I've heard.

First, the best of the decade, which was every bit as difficult to compile as I'd imagined, and leaves out a lot of great albums ..... For me, the albums that tracks 1 to 14 have been taken from, are all at #2. Track 15 however, is from what I consider to be the #1 album of the last decade. A friend persuaded me, some 9 years ago, to go see this band live .... and I did , even though at that point I was someone who only liked music that had words with it ..... and I was absolutely bowled over by them.
