MeatTracks of the Decade: the 2000s --- Revisited

Last year I made a list of my favorite tracks of the last ten years.  I didn’t get a chance to complete the list, so what better time than now to complete the list.  I’ll be doing my year in review for other stuff anyway pretty much all December.

A little analysis…if you look at the list the majority of the songs are heavily favoring the beginning part of the decade.  That’s probably because I listened and kept up with music more closely in college than I do now.  Music is always up to the preference of the listener.  If you are like me, you like catchy music from varying genres to keep you entertained.  That and it sort of chronicles the day, the way you look at things at that particular time.  Soundtrack to life.

So here are my 100 tracks you must have downloaded from 2000 to 2009.
