160 Fergie: Big Girls Don't Cry (2007)

 

 

Fergie's solo career was almost bigger than that of Black Eyed Peas back in 2006/2007, with every single from 'The Dutchess', regardless how great or

terrible it may be, went straight to the top of the charts. 'Big Girls Don't Cry' was a nice change to a pop/rock friendly sound that I think suits Fergie vocally and will remain more relevant than something like 'London Bridge'.

 

159 Gnarls Barkley: Crazy (2006)

 

 

There was no other track quite like Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy' back in 2006. Spending a whopping 9 weeks at #1 in the UK and going top 5 internationally,

'Crazy' was a song that resonanted with everyone. With a video that uses an inkblot test style, this was completely different than anything else was hawking back then.

 

158 Sarah McLachlan: Stupid (2004)

 

 

Second single from her 2003 album Afterglow, 'Stupid' could've fit perfectly in her 1997 Surfacing album. A haunting song about the prospect of cheating

on a loved one, Sarah has an act of making any song meaningful and noteworthy, where could perform the same song and make it sound generic and cliche.

 

157 Depeche Mode: Precious (2005)

 

 

Depeche Mode returned to the charts in 2005 with their best single in nearly 10 years. A song about the Gore's children dealing with their parent's divorce, this song remains my favourite lyrically from the group and by far their best single since back in their hey-day.

 

156 Seether: Fake It (2007)

 

 

It had seemed over the years that Seether wouldn't be able create anything as great as the Amy Lee-collaboration single 'Broken', they came back with a single that finally live up to their potential. 'Fake It' quickly became a fan-favourite and spent 14 weeks at #1 atop the Mainstream Rock chart in the US.

155 The White Stripes: The Hardest Button To Button (2004)

 

 

The White Stripes have a couple of great beat-driven singles, with 'The Hardest Button To Button' the best of them all. A favourite by many, this song has been covered by many artists, while the video was even used as a bit in an episode of The Simpsons.

 

154 311: Love Song (2004)

 

 

From the 50 First Dates soundtrack, this cover from the brilliant original by The Cure from the same name, 311 gives the song less of a new-wave andmore of a guitar-driven rock sound that still does the song justice. I'm usually apprehensive to jump on board onto cover songs, but this is just plain good.

 

153 Black Eyed Peas: Don't Lie (2005)

 

 

After the gimmicky singles 'Don't Phunk With My Heart' and 'My Humps', I felt 'Don't Lie' was just a straight-up pop/hip-hop song that Black Eyed Peas could easily deliver. Slightly under-rated, this song remains a highlight from their Monkey Business album.

 

152 Coldplay: Violet Hill (2008)

 

 

First single from the hugely anticipated 2008 Viva La Vida, I actually prefer this over 'Viva La Vida', which in itself is a decent song. 'Violet Hill' is a war protest song that is their most ambitious effort yet.

 

151 Sheryl Crow: Out Of Our Heads (2008)

 

 

Coincidentally, another protest song, 'Out Of Our Heads' is my favourite non-single track from Sheryl Crow this decade. After the several dud singles from her 2008 Detours album, this song does not just have an anti-war message, it is also has an inspirational tone that man-kind overcome its own mistakes.
