Song Of The Decade

I'm amazed that so many people are being so negative bout the noughties. I think part of the 'problem' that noughties music seems worse than other decades is that we all have access to so much music. It then becomes slightly more disposable while we look for the next song / album to give us the 'hairs on the back of the neck' feeling that we all get from finding our new favourite tune.I don't think X-Factor or American Idol has any effect on aspiring artists. The internet has made it a lot more accessible for such artists to reach an audience, but also more competitive - it's going to be a lot harder for an artist to 'stand out' from the crowd.
...
Song of the decade for me? This wins for me as it fits the bill as the 'Anthem of The Decade'...I'm going with a live version they did with Bowie..
Bang on, both of these posts. And that song is a beast.
I'd argue that there is plenty of brilliant, exciting music out there, and plenty of it in this thread. You just need the patience to find it. Just because you haven't bothered looking for it, won't give it a chance, or it doesn't suit your tastes, does not mean music is dead. It's just left you behind.
Stuff like The Knife or Arcade Fire just wouldn't and couldn't have come from any other decade. I love the 00's for giving me those bands, and I have no doubt people will be talking about these songs in years to come - when they're telling each other about how the music of the 2020's isn't nearly as good as it was back in the 2010's...0 -

Some good stuff mentioned already - Muse, Arcade Fire, and so on - but I have to go with some old guys rocking out like they were 18 again:
You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
―Oscar Wilde predicting Social Media, in The Picture of Dorian Gray

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.
Sunscreen came out in the 90s

Xavii if im correct you rubbished a great song (although Im not a fan in any way), Babylon eariler in the thread, and then you bring up this ****e!! Lifehouse sound like Kurt Cobain singing Christian rock!
Modest Mouse Float On for me.
Followed by the coral pass it on, arctic monkeys certain romance, justice phantom, roots manuva witness, the prodigy invaders must die and the libertines cant stand me now.
Theres been plenty of great music this decade if you want to find it. The internet both makes this easier and harder, because of the amount of pure ****e you have to wade through.0 -

That's fine, don't let it bother you.
It is simply not cool to like a David Gray song.
I bet when the song comes on in their cars, people be tapping that foot and singing along ..
"Moving through the crowds I'm pushing
Chemicals all rushing in my bloodstream
Only wish that you were here
You know I'm seeing it so clear
I've been afraid
To show you how I really feel
Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made"
The song's a classic.
The fact that people would rather admit there liked the Twilight movies or that they wear yellow y-fronts is just somthing we'll have to accept

Of course I rubbished David Gray. He's one of the most irritating artists of all time. His popularity genuinely puzzles me.OutlawPete wrote: »It is simply not cool to like a David Gray song.
It's nothing to do with him being 'cool' or not, it's to do with him being an incredibly boring and uninspiring bastard. That 'White Ladder' album is up there with Damien Rice's 'O' and the latest Kings of Leon effort as the most overrated record of the last decade or so.I bet when the song comes on in their cars, people be tapping that foot and singing along ..
I'd have switched over after the first bar tbh.

He's a great songwriting and his gigs are always class.
His 'popularity' is not great as you can see from this thread but if you are refering to the album sales of 'White Ladder' then I feel he does deserve it as he is great singer / songwriting who's live preformances are always amazing.It's nothing to do with him being 'cool' or not, it's to do with him being an incredibly boring ..
Boring is just another way of saying 'uncool'.That 'White Ladder' album is up there with Damien Rice's 'O' and the latest Kings of Leon effort as the most overrated record of the last decade or so.
White Ladder is a classic album and to compare it to the above to albums is a joke.
Listen, I am not a big David Gray fan but some of the songs on White Ladder are classics. it's a fine album and the best track being Babylon.('Babylon' btw is actually from 1999 so is actually OT)
The song was released in 1999 and did very little. Then the album took of in early 2000.
So the song was re-released in 2000 and that is when it peaked in the charts.0 -
