Top Ten: The Decemberists

It's been a while since I've done a top something song list, so without further ado, the top 10 songs by The Decemberists...

(in no order, by the way)

July, July (this song has hooks)
The Engine Driver (their most haunting song)
I Was Meant For the Stage (a damn fine tune)
A Cautionary Song (simply twisted!)
The Soldiering Life (this is a very gay song)
The Tain (yeah, this is kind of cheating, but technically it is one song)
The Legionnaire's Lament (his camel is in disarray and I can hum along)
We Both Go Down Together (extra points for rhyming with "veranda")
Los Angeles, I'm Yours (much better then R.E.M.'s "I Remember California")
The Mariner's Revenge Song (truth in advertising)
