'Mr Brightside' = Win.

Agreed with everything said about this!

 

Shame about that spoiler! The depressng thing is, although I do like the song, the band have farrrr better :(

chasing cars probably deserves it - its had the greatest impact - how many weeks was it top 75?

how do you measure impact? Weeks in the Top 75?

 

 

Similar songs that are better

 

Embrace - Nature's Law

Coldplay - In My Place, Talk, Fix You,

Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition

Razorlight - America

Athlete - Wires

Snow Patrol - Chocolate

Spiritualised - Out of Sight

Sigur Ros - Hoppipola

Travis - Sing

Cherry Ghost - People Help the People

Editors - Smokers Outside the Hospital Door

 

If you want sheer epic grandure - Doves - Pounding

 

Just dont understand C****** C*** has any effect on anyone compared to those.

 

 

 

Hmm.. I do like that song but the band have so many better songs.

 

Can someone post the others?

Set the Fire to the Third Bar is an outstanding duet with Martha Wainright. Ravishing and beautiful. It was the follow up single to C***** C***

 

Sadly it didn't sell as well.

 

 

I don't think any one song can be described as 'song of the decade' there are too many to choose from and no one would ever agree. I think people stating what are their ten best songs of the decade would give a better perception.

Here's the list if it's not up already

 

20. Leave Right Now- Will Young

19. Ruby- Kaiser Chiefs

18. Valerie- Mark Ronson feat. Amy Winehouse

17. Viva La Vida- Coldplay

16. Take Me Out- Franz Ferdinand

15. Mercy- Duffy

14. Patience- Take That

13. Stan- Eminem

12. I Don't Feel Like Dancing- Scissor Sisters

11. Hey Ya!- Outkast

10. You're Beautiful- James Blunt

9. Can't Get You Out Of My Head- Kylie Minouge

8. Crazy In Love- Beyonce

7. Rule The World- Take That

6. Crazy- Gnarls Barkley

5. Rehab- Amy Winehouse

4. Sex On Fire- Kings Of Leon

3. I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor- Arctic Monkeys

2. Mr. Brightside- The Killers

1. Chasing Cars- Snow Patrol

 

 

Such a rubbish list! How could they not even include 'Umbrella', although it's not my favourite track, it's definitely one of the best mainstream pop songs of the noughties.

Exactly what i was thinking although it used to be my fave track of all time :wub: :wub:

 

I understand why the likes of Crazy and Chasing Cars is on there but what makes Mercy, Rehab, Killers, Coldplay so special. The list is laughable as a whole. Umbrella is the #1 in my eyes.

LOL! I understand majority of the list, but what I don't get are those three I included above. ESPECIALLY 'Ruby'??! :mellow: More decade defining than 'Bleeding Love' or 'Umbrella'? HAHAHAHAHAHA! Franz I sorta understand but I still wouldn't say it's decade defining. And Coldplay have one or two better tracks that are more worthy of a placing on this list ('Yellow' & 'The Scientist' IMO)

I don't see how anyone can dispute the inclusions of the top two. The list is most POPULAR songs of the decade, not BEST.

 

There is no way that 'Mr Brightside' and 'Chasing Cars' don't feature in the top 10 most popular of the decade!

I think that's a pretty decent list. Glad that TT had two songs (although personally - I think the positions of their two songs should be switched).

 

On a personal note ... I would have preferred the Monkeys song to be number 1 but can't really fault Snow Patrol ... its a great song.

How could that Arctic Monkeys song be the second most popular song of teh dacade? I never heard it. And I think that The Killers had much more popular songs (Human, Somebody Told Me...)

franz ferdinand should def be there - they began the comeback of brit popII!!VERY MEMORABLE AND A MASSIVE POPULAR IMPACT!!

The Arctic Monkeys song was massive, and Mr Brightside was certainly up there.

Its cos this is a mixture of a yougov poll and critics, that means they've got rid of any songs that would be too 'pop'

 

I prefer Somebody Told me to Mr Brightside but Mr Brightside is the 'critics' fav

 

I can;t stand the arctic monkeys but that was their one decent song

Snow Patrol... wtf! - how depressing is that

DITTODITTODITTO :(

Worst song ever tbh.

I agree unbrella is the most obvious omission and i would've had the gossip in there i thought that song was huge for months but it just goes to show it all depends who you ask to vote in your poll!
