The 333 Best Pop Songs of the 2000s: #270

#270: "Too Much" (2001) - David Garza

An airy slip of a song—blow on it, and it floats away—but it’ll come floating back on those simple, cheesy keyboard chords; its drum machine with its busted-speaker sound; and, best of all, the effervescent falsetto of Austin, Texas's second favorite son (officially, even--guess who's the first?), whose magnificent voice dances all around us, playful, crooning, whispering, caressing our ears like no male singer has since Prince just wanted our extra time and our kiss. Nothing to do here but surrender, ‘cause—like the man says—we’re all going down.
