THE DECADE'S BEST

Seems like just yesterday that I was standing in Times Square waiting for the millennium. I was still living back east and was still in my twenties. Now I'm living in Los Angeles and in my 30's. During that time, we went from 'NSync selling 2.4 million units in one week to seeing major record chain Tower Records close its doors for good.

Let's take a look back at what Rolling Stone (chosen by a panel of artists) and I think were the best artists, albums and songs of the decade. Will we agree?- let's see shall we!
