I’ve mostly avoided the Best Songs/Movies/Books categories in favor of weirder, minutiae-oriented stuff.  Some of these are notable for their thought-provoking content and unique criteria, while others are just funny.  And in recognition of the no-fair-voting-for-yourself clause, I’ve avoided listing any of Popten’s fantastic decade lists, like Celebrity Meltdowns and Storytellers.

When you say 'he owned cocktail parties' he really did, does, will again. How many times can I remember two people spouting facts from Blink or the Tipping Point? The idea that one guy's ideas are so compelling they are the conversation 50% of the time is unbelievable.

Best songwriter of the decade, hands down. Great post, HOWEVER, I’m 100% in on getting John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats into the top five. Best songwriter of the decade, hands down.
