These are my top 70 songs of the decade. Why 70? Because. Am I arguing that these are the best 70 songs of the decade? No. They're my favorite based on a complex algorithm using variables such as merit, memories and influence. There are links to most of them to the right. Enjoy and comment. I love arguing.
