So how well do you believe 'Come Home Billy Bird' stands up against 'Our Mutual Friend'? In my own opinion the former is by far the best song on the album.

I like "Billy Bird", but I don't think anything on Absent Friends quite matches the orchestral arrangement on "Our Mutual Friend". It's possible Hannon hasn't done anything as grandioso in his entire career.

Also, my list may be different to a list made by someone living in another country by the fact that many songs I've listed -as I have read- have been overplayed over and over again, and that, I'm sure, makes one tired of it and consequently, "it sucks". Many of the songs and bands in my list are almost unknown in Argentina. By saying that, I really mean it. I have never heard Sex on Fire on the radio, as well as Leif Erikson and Reptilia. A new genre from the Caribbean has gained prominence and now the radio stations play only that, plus some Killers and Black Eyed Peas. So I now that my list may be "too pop" depending on the country were you live.

Never apologize for your musical taste.

That said, my list will look different. Top 10 of the 00's in no particular order:

In Color - Jamey Johnson (2008)
Entertainment - Rise Against (2008)
Are You Gonna Be My Girl - Jet (2003)
American Idiot - Green Day (2004)
Turn Me On - Norah Jones (2001)
The Real Slim Shady - Eminem (2000)
Waitin' on a Woman - Brad Paisley (2005)
Swing - Trace Adkins (2006)
Gunpowder & Lead - Miranda Lambert (2007)
