« BS-B's Best of 2008 Mix Playlist | Main

December 31, 2009

Best of the Decade?

Not sure what to call this. Here’s it was it isn’t:

 

  • 25 songs
  • My 25 favorite (as I didn’t use the same band twice)
  • In order
  • The best videos – I just pulled what I could find quickly

Band locations and dates were pulled from Wikipedia so you can argue with them if I got them wrong. Typos and bad links are my fault.

 

Mostly these are songs from the decade that I think were pretty great and inspired by Woxy.
