My Top 100 Songs of the 2000's

My own version of rolling stone's list of the best songs from 2000-2009. Contains more British songs, and more midstream songs (not hipster, not mainstream). It seems to me that most songs on the RS lists are either completely mainstream (Milkshake at #40, Kelly Clarkson, Amy Winehouse, too many Beyonce and JayZ songs), or supremely hipster. Anyway, here are what I thought were the best songs of the decade. I know them from CDs my parents have, playing rock band, reading rolling stones' list, listening on the radio, watching on youtube, and dancing at robotics competitions. Note: This is my favorite, not yours.
