    The Postal Service's version 'Such Great Heights' wasn't even the best version of that song, never mind track of the decade.

    Well that and I don't think there's an alt/indie group to come close to them in the last decade. Some post rock or electronic may have made the grade.

    Yes I agree that Radiohead set very high standards and Okay Computer one of the all time great albums.
    Have Amnesiac in my collection as well.
    Still standing by my top singles though. Wake Up and Chicago just so uplifting.
