    Apparently the "Song of the decade" is Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol and even though I do like the song I can't say I agree that its the best of the decade!

    So on that note what do you think really is THE song of the decade?

    Tough call but some of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' stuff is brilliant.. Gold Lion and Maps.
    Elbow - Grounds for divorce is genuinely class.
    Everybody is free to wear Sunscreen deserves a mention imo.. Not commercially successful but still great.
    MGMT will remind me off the end of the decade over anything.. Overplayed to fuk but still good.
    Justice v. Simian - We are your friends is probably my favourite going out tune.. Best memories anyway.
    Franz Ferdinand - Take me out was pretty huge at the time aswell.

    Better by Guns N Roses. Purely because Axl managed to get his **** together and release the bloody album after 13 years of ****ing around.

    Mr. Brightside?

    Not a hope I'll listen to that in a few years.. Listening to it now it and it feels completely dated.
    I'd put a fair bit of Artic Monkeys over that for musical ability.

    Its a really though one alright, its harder to assess some of the newer songs as its hard to see if they will have to longevity some of the olders had and there some classics I hadn't realised were this decade it seems so far ago.

    Some of my contenders would have to be

    Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication
    Daft Punk - Harder Better Faster Stronger
    Killers - Mr Brightside

    there are really too many to mention to be honest.

    Edit: I want to add
    The Pixies - Where is my mind
    Jeff Buckely - Hallelujah

    the whole countdown was dominated by what i call neo indie bands , hate each and every one of them , regardless of where thier from , they all sound english

    far and away the worst ever decade for music

    Chasing Cars?
    Sex on Fire?
    Viva La Vida?

    Is it song of the decade, or song of the decade based solely on daytime radio playlists?

    Was that not the 90's?

    For me it was one of these three:

    Eminem - Stan
    The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army
    Coldplay - The Scientist

    It's still a great song dude.

    Man, I can think of thousands of songs better than chasing cars. it wouldn't have made top100 in the 90's. What a sh!t decade for music. Started so promising an all.
