You guys are hysterical. Really - you are. Pray tell, what would your top 10 lists be for the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's?
Off-topic, but doesn't it seem kinda weird how the start of a decade is usually calm, and ends up chaotic? 1960-1964 (calm 'n easy - singing about birds and bees, my boyfriend's back kind of violence) 1965-1969 (chaotic and nuts - songs about death and dying, psychedelic music and drugs); 1970-1975 (calm - had former burn-outs singing about how they ruined their lives and lost their loves) 1976-1979 (easy listening gave way to Disco and cocaine); 1980-1985 (new-wave and pop music) 1986-1989 (freestyle)

Anyway, in no particular order...
1. How a Resurrection Really Feels - The Hold Steady
2. Pot Kettle Black - Wilco
3. Pompeii Au Gatterdammerung - The Flaming Lips
4. Just Be Simple - Songs: Ohia
5. Miracle Drug - A.C. Newman
6. Heaven is a Honky Tonk - Ray Lamontagne
7. Dreamed I Saw Soldiers - Neil Halstead
8. (Drawing) Rings Around the World - Super Furry Animals
9. Here it Comes - Doves
10. The Patient - Tool

The fast "Poor Places" outtake is probably the greatest thing I've heard of those sessions. But since it wasn't officially released I couldn't use it. The album has very few poor songs.

I noticed a few votes for Arcade Fire's "No Cars Go", but my vote is absolutely for "Intervention". That song continues to blow my mind completely. Immensely powerful stuff.

Yeah, I'm assuming he is referring to someone's list. I think by "pretencious" he actually means, "songs/bands I have never heard of, so they must be pretencious". While I don't agree w/ most of these lists (I still think mine is the best I don't think anyone's list is pretencious at all). Radio/MTV etc don't play good songs, so I think the fact that a lot of people are naming, not neccesarily popular songs is a sign of good taste here.
if you're going to argue about usage of a word you might as well spell it correctly: pretentious
