Oh and it was publsihed in 2004, I haven't seen them all and the latest one of the top 10 was released in 1991. This is going back a bit now but in my regular lunchtime trawl of wiki for information I came across a table based on Rolling Stones top 500 songs of all time list

Decade Number of songs Percentage
1940s 2 0.4%
1950s 69 14.2%
1960s 195 39%
1970s 131 26.2%
1980s 55 11%
1990s 21 4.2%
2000s 27 5.4%

Not sure this actually proves anything at all just thought I’d chuck it in. Oh and it was publsihed in 2004, I haven’t seen them all and the latest one of the top 10 was released in 1991.

The only reason it wasn't included is that I only downloaded it a couple of weeks ago, and I didn't want to include something that was potentially a 'flavour of the month' in the top 10.

Oh, and Ghislaine says you're so very wrong to not have MGMT's album in the top 10. But everyone knows that you should take a French person's opinion lightly.

Works well actually. I must admit that I was surprised Hoppipolla didn't make it in as first off i know you like it and secondly it's a really beautiful piece of music.

Not sure what I'd get rid of to accomodate them though. Maybe Neil Diamond and Young Folks?

I also think you've probably been a bit harsh on the decade. Ok first off whilst Johnnie Cash’s version of Hurt is excellent the orginal is also excellent.
