The Top 100 Songs of the Decade [2000-2009] (100-11)

I just realized while making the list that the best anime songs are all in the 90's. (try Zankoku na Tenshi no Thesis, Tank! or Yuzurenai Negai). You can say the 90's was the golden age of Anime songs but the last decade (whatever it's called) was pretty interesting too. With the advent of the internet (particularly youtube), iPod and blogs/forums such as animesuki, people have easy access and reference to a dizzying amount of anime songs, particularly the
recent ones. Great songs from Haruhi, Gundam, Macross, Full Metal Alchemist, Bleach and many more made the last decade as awesome as the one that precedes it. To prove my point here's my selection of the top 100 songs of 2000-2009:

janfive Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: Moe-land	The Top 100 Songs of the Decade [2000-2009] (100-11) I just realized while making the list that the best anime songs are all in the 90's. (try Zankoku na Tenshi no Thesis, Tank! or Yuzurenai Negai). You can say the 90's was the golden age of Anime songs but the last decade (whatever it's called) was pretty interesting too. With the advent of the internet (particularly youtube), iPod and blogs/forums such as animesuki, people have easy access and reference to a dizzying amount of anime songs, particularly the recent ones.
