Rell's Favorite/Top 25 Songs of the Decade

As we come to the end of 2009, we also end the first decade of the third millennium. So, instead of giving you the usual "top 25, top 10" lists of the year, we're going to give them for the decade.

Here are my top 25 songs of the decade.

Note: These are the top 25 in my opinion. Meaning, the genres most heavily represented will be the ones I like. It's not meant to be exhaustive and displayed as an authority -- though I would argue with you that these are in fact the top 25 regardless of genre.
