[kj] Top 50 songs of 2000-2010

[Alexander Smith]

I own an ELO best-of. In fact, I almost went to see them play live  
with Ilya, a Russian personal trainer from a gym I was a member of at  
the time (sounds like the plot of a gay porn film, I know), but then  
September 11th happened and the show was cancelled. True story.
