Yeah, I know we're two years shy of completing this decade, but I'm trying to get an idea on what songs you think are the best of the best (so far). And when I say "best," I mean like what Down Under by Men At Work would mean if this were a Top 10 Songs of the 1980's list.

Michael Corvin

I don't know about ten but one that would be in there for me would be Straight Lines by Silverchair. Probably my favorite song in years, and one I just can't get tired of.

starseed1981

Here are the top 10 songs of the 2000s.

01.Everything In Its Right Place
02.Kid A
03.The National Anthem
04.How To Disappear Completely
05.Treefingers
06.Optimistic
07.In Limbo
08.Idioteque
09.The Morning Bell
10.Motion Picture Soundtrack

That's the track listings for Radiohead's Kid A album, for those that don't know.

Drexl

I would put "Lose Yourself" by Eminem and probably "Hey Ya" by Outkast on there.

Rypro 525

gee, what song and artist seems a tad out of place with the rest.

You're my favorite wendersfan even though you picked the wrong Black Keys song.

Sessa17

The correct answer is. . .

The National- "Cardinal Song"
Ryan Adams- "Come Pick Me Up"
Ted Leo & The Pharmacists - "Timorous Me"
Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris - "If This Is Goodbye"
Tally Hall - "Good Day"

I guess my taste is a tad more "mainstream" than most people here, I am mainly into pop/rock, dance-pop and some r&b.

Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out
Coldplay - Talk
Killers - Somebody Told Me
Keane - Everybody's Changing
Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancin'
Madonna - Hung Up
Gwen Stefani - What You Waiting For
Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
Mary J. Blige - Family Affair
Mariah Carey - We Belong Together

ten songs from this decade I played the fug out of and still love and can see being 00's classics in ten years time.
