see this is about opinion but none of those i would consider incredible artists, i like killers, own all their albums and every time i have seen them live have had a great time

green day are a 90s band for me, thats when they became big and thats when they did their best work

queen were huge in the 70s and 80s

incredible artists for me are the likes of the beatles and zeppelin

exactly my point. I personaly dont like the beatles or zeppelin, but ALOT of people do, same goes for the new bands i mentioned. Just alot of people on here (And irl) think only music they like is good and everything they dont like is obviously **** music.

I almost clicked out of this thread when I saw David fucking Gray get mentioned.

There are been some exceptional songs over the past decade, and to say it was a bad decade is incredibly naive.

Anyway, purely because it blew me away the first time I heard it back in 2001, I've no choice but to put forward this tune by the best live act going -

Haven't read through all the thread so don't know has this been said before but my song of the decade is Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor.

I thought this thread was about song of the decade

You're all idiots. It's Radiohead's Reckoner.

No, it's not subjective.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was. Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's 'it' seems weird and scary.

The Wire represents the pinnacle of artistic achievement in the history of civilisation. A hundered years from now, kids will be studying it for their leaving certs.

nah, the 00s is considered bad because there has been no memorable or iconic songs, nobody is going to be singing beyonce, artic monkeys or muse stuff in 50 years time, they just won't

i remember watching top of the pops in 1991 and nirvana coming on and with the first riff of "smells like" you knew this was an iconic song, one that people would still be talking long after nirvana were no more, i can't think of one song this decade that i could say with a serious face, yeah thats this decades "hey jude" or "billie jean"

i blame programs like x-factor and american idol, they have sucked the life out of music, whereas in the past music companies would have taken a chance on aspiring musicans now they only sign up and market talentless simon cowell goons

reality music shows just like reality shows in tv have defined this decade , it was the decade where everyone had an opportunity to be a pop star and everyone could have a role in deciding who became a star , simon cowell was the most important person in music the world over this decade which sums up the whole sorry era

my fave songs of the decade

white stripes = seven nation army
mgmt = kids
mary j blige = family affair
johny cash = hurt
basement jaxx = wheres your head at
take that = rule the world
ronan keating = life is a rollercoaster

Step away from the TV and you might find some perspective.

If Simon Cowell was the most important person in music in the last decade then it shows how godawful the last 10 years has been in terms of music quality.

on that note In the name of by Rage against the Machine. Know its a re release but still a great way to finish out the decade

Do you mean as being the last Number 1 single of this decade? It wasn't, Joe McElderry's single 'The Climb' is expected to hold that spot.

You seem to have a list of things that are foreign to you that shouldn't be.

'Attack the post and not the poster' is one you might think of removing.

Ah i just red the thread title again...decade not year...duh!!

So yes Bloc Party - Banquet. What a tune!

CianRyan · 29-12-2009 11:31pm

It has to be something by Between The Buried And Me.
They play some amazing stuff, take these two songs for example.

They both get pretty heavy but stick them out because the songs show more diversity than all the artists you'll see on TV or hear on the radio combined.
FAACT!!

IB4: Fcuking metal, fcuk off.

GIVE IT A CHANCE, YIZ SAPS!!

As I've said, they both have really heavy parts up they ease off into some stuff that wouldn't even cross your mind.
Amazing.
YES!!

I know the song is only from this year, but I think it has to be on the list of nominations for song of the decade: "Poker Face", Lady Ga Ga.

Brilliantly produced, composed of different elements blended together to form a classic pop song. I played it continuously this summer whilst driving around, at maximum volume... sad, I know (and I ain't no boy-racer!)

Reminded me of another song from earlier in the decade, chorus went something like, "my milk-shake brings all the boys from the town"etc...
