Two of my five and Obstacle 1 is definitely sixth or seventh.

I'm checking out the other two songs coz something tells me i might like them!

Nice! Can download KHW album for free off their website - http://www.ketchharbourwolves.ca/

They're a small band from Canada, never toured in Europe. Not sure how I even found them! Sparklehorse are easier to find.. Get Dreamt for Lightyears.. or It's a Wonderful life if ya want to listen to them. My favourite albums of his. Older stuff is good too though!

Way ahead of ya boss! I found it interesting.. Don't listen to it as much anymore. Some songs good and some not so much.. In my opinion.

Aargh! This is actually impossible! I know I'd put For Reverend Green by Animal Collective in the list anyway...

Spiritoftheseventies · 21-10-2009 8:17am

at the end of month putting up a poll so folks keep the votes coming in.

electrogrimey · 21-10-2009 10:39am

Some Beck, or some Arcade Fire might be contenders...maybe Where It's At and Wake Up respectively?

Ye i barely ever listen to it anymore which is strange coz it seems like the kind of thing that would resonate more. I'm sure i'll forget about it and rediscover it in years to come.

There There - Radiohead is getting loads of votes!! Glad to see that:)

This is what the short list is looking like on votes polled so far. Would be tempted to stick in Fugitive Motel by Elbow as I think its possibly their best song from this decade and from Interpol, take you on a Cruise.
Will stick up poll maybe next wednesday. Think we have a fair idea at this stage of the most popular songs.

0r The Pounding

Song was recently re released due in part to fact that it was played on scrubs. that apart this an alternative music thread!

I thought it was because it was played in the final scene of the sopranos

Spiritoftheseventies · 27-10-2009 10:15pm

I think scrubs played it first

Blue 84 · 27-10-2009 11:11pm

Inevitably I'll think of a few glaring omissions later but here's my two cents worth...

The White Stripes - Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground
The Strokes - Hard to Explain
Radiohead - House of Cards
Kings of Leon - Milk
Interpol - Leif Erikson
Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies)
The Libertines - What a Waster
MGMT - Electric Feel/Time to Pretend
Queens of the Stone Age - Make it Wit Chu
Bell X1 - Bad Skin Day

Top three songs of the decade
