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

Folks poll up. Sure it will provoke a lot of debate. One Omission there is Fated to pretend by GMT so put that under other. Otherwise I think fairly good poll.

You have intervention up twice. Maybe you could edit it to Rebellion (lies)

And they have different results...something in this poll is flawed

Kings of Leon -Fans, really? That got the most votes for a KOL song? Very surprised.

It only has one vote so far, you'll have to wait for way more votes for any conclusive results.

I mean I was surprised it got enough nominations to get into the poll. Me and a mate were just talking the other day about what a mediocre song it is.
Anyway, I wouldn't be taking any results of this poll as gospel, considering it's drawing from a small enough group of voters.
Interesting all the same though.

Ah but that's just opinion like, to me all Kings of Leon and Franz Ferdinand and whoever else's there's kinda stuff is very mediocre, to me it's just Oxegen music, dribble to please the masses, but I realise that to others it's more than that, and that's fair enough. Suppose that's the point of these polls, to find out what the most common opinion on songs/bands is. Mmm...Can't beat 3am nonsense talk.

Kings of Leons new stuff is pandering to the masses but you could hardly say that about their earlier stuff. Youth and Young Manhood had songs about Transvestite hookers taking cocaine, murder and preachers seducing and having sex with women.

Yes so I think at this stage its safe to say that Radiohead's there there just sneaks it ahead of Wake Up by Arcade Fire and Johnny Cash's hurt

theres been so much quality songs this decade, i cant have a top 3, let alone top 10, let alone top 50. sure, theres been a load of tosh, but the quality of the indie underground scene in the last 5 years has been nothing short of breathtaking.
