Five Songs from the 2000s

As I was driving home from Maryland last night, I began thinking about my favorite songs from this decade and threw together a group of five that I think all music fans should be familiar with. I've decided not to post blurbs on the tracks, because if you can't immediately grasp their brilliance then perhaps you should ask yourself: "Are we human, or are we dancer?"

In alphabetical order, by artist:

Broken Social Scene, "Anthems for a Seventeen-Year-Old Girl" (2003) (from You Forgot It in People)

The Knife, "Heartbeats" (2005) (from Deep Cuts)

LCD Soundsystem, "All My Friends" (2007) (from Sound of Silver)

Panda Bear, "Bros" (2007) (from Person Pitch)

Wilco, "Jesus, Etc." (2002) (from Yankee Hotel Foxtrot)

Enjoy!
