Top 20 Songs of the 2000s

Inspired by Mikey-Mike (as always) here is my top 20 of the decade. Plus a few more. Per his rules no repeat artists (though I cheat in one case...). I think a top 20 albums list will be much harder, because, were there really 20 great albums released this decade? I don't know.

Radiohead - Morning Bell
Animal Collective - Leaf House
Lightning Bolt - Assassins
Dirty Three - I really should've gone out last night
Bonnie Prince Billy - Bed is for sleeping
Arab Strap - Screaming in the trees
Sonic Youth - Rain on tin
Yo La Tengo - Madeline
Gillian Welch - I dream a highway
Vladislav Delay - Pietola
Clipse - Keys open doors
Songs: Ohia - Didn't it rain
Fugazi - Life and Limb
The Libertines - Horror show
Pulp - Trees
Cat Power - Good Woman
Arcade fire - Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)
Iron and wine - upward over the mountain
Nas - One mic
Tim Hecker - The work of art in the age of cultural overproduction

++
...and you will know us by the trail of dead - Another morning stoner
Sparklehorse - apple bed
Camera Obscura - Knee Deep at the Npl
Kings of Convenience - Homesick
Stars - reunion
MIA - Galang
The streets - has it come to this
Air - Surfing on a Rocket
Kid 606 - Never Underestimate the Value of a Holler
Daedelus - Elegy (at last)
Luomo - Synkro
Broadcast - before we begin
My Morning Jacket - the way that he sings
The books - take time
